Apple MacBook and the V270, Jun 16 2006
By John Galt - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Logitech V270 Wireless Optical Notebook for BT -Black (Personal Computers)
I recently purchased a MacBook from Amazon, and after using the trackpad for awhile, I knew I wanted to get a mouse for the MacBook. I searched around and came up with the Logitech V-270.It works great and has good bluetooth sensitivity. I was able to control the cursor from more than 10 feet away from the computer. I like the size and the finish of the device. A little pricey, but it's worth it if I don't have to use the trackpad.
BTW, I also installed Windows XP Pro on the MacBook and the Logitech V-270 also works on the Windows partition of the hard drive.

Sleepy mouse, April 7 2006
By Vicente J. Febres - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Logitech V270 Wireless Optical Notebook for BT -Black (Personal Computers)
I bought this mouse to use with my Dell Inspiron E1705 with integrated bluetooth. The computer recognized the mouse right away, however I could not install the software included with the mouse. The good: on/off buttom, long battery life, comfortable design. The bad: As pointed out by other reviewers, the device 'goes to sleep' way too often. You have to jiggle and wait for the mouse to be activated almost constantly. This becomes quite annoying when you are working. I ended up returning it because I could not stand it.---------
Note added on 4/13/2006
After returning the mouse I contacted Logitech and asked if there was a way to disable the stand-by mode. Here is what they had to say (I haven't tried since I no longer have the mouse):
Thank you for your recent inquiry about your Pointing Devices.
I understand that the Logitech V270 mouse goes to sleep mode too often.
Please note that the mouse will go to sleep mode if it is not used for few minutes to save the battery life. If you move the mouse or press the click button of the mouse, then it will come up from the sleep mode and then work as normal.
However, if you would like to disable the mouse entering the stand-by mode, then refer to the following steps:
a. Right click on My computer and select Properties.
b. Click on Hardware Tab.
c. Select Device Manager.
d. Click the + sign next to Mice and other pointing device.
e. Right click on the mouse you are using and properties.
f. Click on Power Management Tab.
g. Enable Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
h. Click OK.

PowerBook G4 and the V270, Jun 29 2006

The Logitech V270 has turned out to be the perfect mouse solution for me to use with the Bluetooth receiver built in to my Mac 17" PowerBook G4. I installed the V270 with Apple's Bluetooth software in less that two minutes and it has worked perfectly for me for two days of heavy computer use. If it goes to sleep from non-use, a flick of the wrist will instantly awaken it and off I go. I love it.I have been looking for a reliable Bluetooth mouse to use with my PowerBook for well over two years. I bought a Bluetake Bluetooth mouse in February of 2004 but had to return it. Even after Apple's spport people helped me download the latest and greatest Bluetooth software, the Bluetake mouse would go into sleep mode and then would not work again until it was reinstalled -- not good. For reasons that are obvious I returned the Bluetake, for which I had paid nearly $70 for credit.
I did not buy another Bluetooth mouse until I decided to give the V270 a try. The online reviews of every other Bluetooth mouse were far too negative for me to be willing to take a chance on. But then I found the V270, for less than $40, and saw many enthusiastic reviews written by other Apple laptop owners whose machines include a built in Bluetooth receiver. I agree with them and then some. I could not have asked for more from this mouse. Highly recommended!
