Advantages: Responsive, customisable, good battery life, comfortable in the hand, works at distance

Disadvantages: None that I can think of

An incredible wireless mouse with a barely noticeable wireless receiver. I initially bought this mouse for my laptop due too its tiny receiver but have found myself using it on every computer I own.

Build Quality: A well packaged device, on opening I was happy to see a well sized and solid feeling mouse. It is comfortable in the hand and isnt overly cluttered in terms of buttons. The mouse has the standard left and right click (barring Apples mouse), a fantastic scroll ball that allows you to scroll both vertically and horizontally. A small button located just under the scroll ball. Two buttons on the lip just left of the left click button. An On/Off button on the base of the mouse along with a slide button to open the battery hatch. The grips on the side of the mouse are textured allowing better grip and finally on the bottom the laser is located, which in case you dont know is invisible, unlike optical mice. The NANO receiver for this mouse really is tiny and once plugged into a usb port sticks out no more than 7mm. The mouse also came with its instructions and proprietary software.

Usability: I plugged this mouse straight into my computer and it worked instantly, however the mouse settings were not what I was used to with the mouse clicker whizzing around the screen with the gentlest of flicks of the mouse. I then installed the software which was simple, error free and worked on an XP, Windows Vista 32bit and 64bit OS's. Once installed the software was easy to open and navigate. Through the software all the buttons are customisable. Its easy enough to swap the left click and right click buttons for left handed users. The additional 2 buttons on the left and the button beneath the scroll bar are also customisable, which every option you could possibly want for them. I personally use the two buttons on the left of the mouse for zooming in and out, and the button underneath the scoll bar for changing windows on my computer. You are even able to change what happens when you use the scroll bar for horizontal scrolling. The options on this mouse really are comprehensive with all the options you would expect and more. The mouse is also incredibly responsive, maintaining a constant connection and seemingly working on most surfaces other than glass. The mouse works at great distance and maintains a connection. Battery life on this device is also good and the software will notify you when its running low (which can be annoying).

Overall this is easily one of the best mice I have used. I would recommend it without doubt for laptops due to the size of the reciever. If you arent fussed about the size of the reciever for a home PC then there are equal mice available for less. However the reciever on this is quite styish and there would be no shame in having it plugged into the PC on a viewing side.

Summary: A fantastic mouse from Logitech that I would recommend to anyone I know
