Netbook

After much searching I have found my perfect netbook mouse for my eeepc.

Its a bluetooth mouse, so its wireless and also means i can use the built in blue-tooth on the 901 and keep all my USB ports free for other uses.

The mouse is a Logitech V470 Bluetooth Laser Notebook Mouse. I got the OEM version which is black, its all about the black, but they do them in blue and also in white to match other peoples tastes. I do really like the blue, so my next amazon order i will be getting one too, I’m sure i can find a use for it!!

The mouse is a nice size. I’m a bloke that likes a big mouse… to go with my big hands!

You may have guessed, i got my mouse from amazon, i find the site very easy to use and quick to find products.

Lets take a look what all the fuss is about then!!

The mouse comes in a very minimalistic box, i really like it, but some might not. This could possibly just be how they supply the OEM version. Let me know!

This is what is in the box. The mouse, a funky carrying bag to stop it getting scratched (note the small logitech logo) you also get some installation instructions and a set of decent Duracell batteries too, this meant i didn’t need to raid the stores we have at work.. we shall see how long they last tho!

This is what the underside looks like, pretty generic. A slide off cover hides the batteries and you can see the opening for the laser.

As you can see it fits fine in my hands, its only a little bit smaller than my G5 mouse i use on my desktop and for gaming.

Installation was painless, download the logitech software, turn on blue tooth, turn on the mouse and press the button on the bottom to put it in detection mode. Pair the device up.. the logitech mouse software will do this for you, and your away. Its definitely sped up my computing i am doing on the eeepc. I’m not a fan of using the notebook type track pads. Bring on touch screen!
