Customer Review: You Don't Have to be a Road Warrior to Love This Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I'm in love again. With the Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks, I've still got all the features I want (works on just about every surface imaginable, cordless, precision pointing for graphics). But now I have none of the qualities I didn't want.
I can use this mouse indefinitely because when the battery dies, I will simply replace it. No more throwing out the mouse with the dead battery. And the smaller size is a big plus for someone with small hands like me.
In addition, the VX Nano takes up very little room in my notebook case, so now I have a road warrior mouse. I didn't even attempt to cart the clunky MX Laser with its cradle.
I appreciate the carrying case that Logitech has packed with this mouse. Turn off the mouse, zip it in its case, and I'm ready to go.
I was happy before, but now I'm delighted.
Five stars and then some. Thanks, Logitech! And thanks, Amazon!
UPDATE: November 17, 2007
Having used this mouse consistently for almost two months, I have decided to buy a second one for use with my desktop.
Why?
My experience is that the small size of this mouse reduces my carpel tunnel syndrome considerably. A day with my large mouse leads to a night of pain, while a day with the nano mouse leads to a pain-free night.
While I understand that the mouse was designed to be used on the road with a notebook, it does work just as well with my desktop as any other mouse I've tried.
If carpel tunnel bothers you, try this mouse. I'd be interested to learn whether anyone else finds relief using this much smaller mouse.
Customer Review: compact, good features

I had been using a Logitech MX 400 corded laser mouse with my laptop--but the VX Nano cordless will be a good replacement. The mouse feels comfortable--a concern which previously had meant that I had bought full-sized mice, even for my laptop. My primary laptop use is for my lectures: I need to connect the laptop to a projector. Between the power supply connector, the serial link to the projector, and the corded mouse I was having to fuss with a lot of wires in a small space--so the wireless mouse is welcome!
The Logitech mice in general feel right--the VX Nano is a lot smaller than my MX 400, and for the hand of an oldster like me, still seems fine. There are 3 helpful Internet buttons, so it's good for browsing. Even the mouse wheel has a rubberized circumference. Overall, it makes me think of a new car that has lots of good features that surprise you--convenient storage nooks, well-thought-out grips, and the like. I may have to get one of these for my desktop at home!
The one problem I sometimes have centers around the tiny nano-receiver. With my corded mouse it's obvious to me that I have to unplug the mouse before the laptop goes back in its case. But there have been several occasions where I've forgotten to unplug the nano-receiver: in my classroom I unplug the power supply and unplug the serial link to the overhead projector, but not the nano-receiver. There has never been any actual difficulty leaving the nano-receiver plugged in--it just makes me a bit nervous that I might snap the receiver off accidentally, althoug with a normal usb receiver that would be much more likely. All in all, a well-thought-out comfortable device.
Customer Review: This is one Great, Little Mouse!

I just got the Nano today to replace a Microsoft Cordless Notebook Mouse that I had for several years. What a difference! Well worth the price IMHO!
Logitech always makes quality products and I have always loved Logitech mice. They always seem to be just right for my needs. This one works like a charm.
I did have to make a call to Tech Support, as some of the directions are confusing. For example the scroll wheel, if set to the default settings, will only scroll from side to side, in a limited number of programs. Outlook Express apparently is one, in which it will only scroll vertically. It worked fine in all directions in Word. I thought it was my settings, but it is simply the programs that you use it in. I only learned that by calling Tech Support.
Otherwise it is delightful to use. So big deal if it doesn't scroll horizontally in all programs.
I have small, arthritic hands, and this is a wonderfully comfortable fit for me. I did try it out first, in Circuit City, prior to ordering it from Amazon. A mouse has to feel right and you must be able to try it first.
I was not terribly impressed with the attitude of the Tech Rep that I spoke with, although at least he was in Arizona and not Bangladesh as most seem to be these days!!!! I am quite computer savvy and told him that any number of times, but he continued to "talk down" to me as though I knew nothing. Oh well! I filled out the questionnaire that they emailed me and did not give him very high marks for "his help", which was not all that "Tech Savvy!!!!". LOL
Update: I have been using this mouse for quite awhile now and the one thing I dislike is that it says that your batteries are "critical" long before they actually do die. I use rechargables that need to totally die before I recharge them, so this makes it all the more annoying.
Customer Review: an excellent choice

First off let me admit that I'm very attached to my Kensington trackball mouse. I love that thing! I have that for my PC but needed a wireless mouse (I hate the navigation controls on the laptop itself) for my laptop. I first looked at Kensington but ended up sticking with the Logitech VX Nano. I am now a huge fan of this cordless mouse for several reasons. (1) Other brands have much larger receiver/USB connections and using your laptop anywhere else but on a flat surface can cause problems since the receiver sticks out a bit. I've snapped off bulkier receiver/USB connectors by mistake and ruined the internal workings of the thing. A costly mistake. This little beauty has the smallest USB connection I've seen and I LOVE this feature. Since it's so small you can leave the receiver in the USB connection and forget about it (it's so easy to lose a bigger receiver that you constantly have to connect and unconnect to your laptop, which would make a wireless mouse useless). (2) This mouse was really easy to install. I just put the included batteries in and placed the receiver in a USB port and after a moment, presto, the mouse worked. This appealed to my lazy side as it allowed me to bypass the whole cd installation process (which requires connecting the correct driver to my laptop, etc.). (3) The scroll function is very sensitive but I like the speed. (4) The design of the mouse itself is very comfortable under hand. This is key if you spend any length of time on the computer. Although the sleek design is appealing, it did not factor into my decision to keep it. I highly recommend this mouse over others on the market.Customer Review: Best Mouse I've owned so far
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm pretty picky about the mouse(s) I use and this didn't immediately come up on my radar. I bought this in a store since it was on clearance for $45. The micro receiver is great. I used to have a Microsoft mouse with the standard sized dongle. Didn't get in the way but it was ugly to look at. This one is super tiny and, as the packaging says, you can just plug it in and leave it there. What I liked the most was whenever you unplug the receiever for storage and then have to plug it back in. Almost instantly my laptop recognizes it's there and starts working immediately. With other mouses, there is a slight lag until the computer realizes something is there.
Another benefit I enjoyed with this mouse was the feature within the software to allow you use either your laptop touchpad settings or the customized settings of the mouse. With Microsoft mouse and software, it usually overrides the touchpad settings so once you unplug the mouse, you have to reenter the settings for your touchpad. With this one, you don't have to do that anymore.
The size and shape of the mouse is great although the click wheel is a bit annoying at times. The click wheel doesn't function like a normal click wheel on other mice. With this click wheel, you have the option to click it once for smooth scrolling or you can click it again for click scrolling. Basically, one setting makes some clicking noises when you scroll, the other setting is silent.
My only real gripe is with the backward/forward buttons on the left side of the mouse. I'd really prefer it if you could swap them but you can't. The forward button is the easiest to reach when mousing and it's not that often you go forward on a browser but you do need to go back more frequently. Other than that, this is a great little mouse and definitely worth the price...regardless of what it is.
