Logitech launches V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks

Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse with Bluetooth for Notebook PC or MacLogitech has announced the V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks, which works with any Bluetooth-enabled Mac or PC without the need for an external receiver.

The mouse features laser tracking, side-to-side scrolling plus zoom, claims a battery life of up to four months, and has a battery indicator light. It uses two AA batteries.

The US version of the mouse makes no mention of any other specifications, such as DPI, so we’re left guessing on that.

Decorated in high-gloss blue and white, it will be available from the beginning of September, priced £34.99.

Logitech launches MX Air rechargeable cordless mouse

Logitech has unveiled its MX Air rechargeable cordless mouse, a versatile laser mouse that works both on the desk and in the air.

The device is like a cross between a remote control and a mouse, and is supposed to cater for those who want to command their media PC from the comfort of their sofa (or indeed, anywhere that there’s an absence of solid, flat surface to use a traditional mouse on).

“The MX Air mouse offers a radically new way for people to control their PC entertainment,” said Erik Charlton, Logitech director of product marketing for performance and gaming mice. “It’s for anyone who has listened to music on their PC and been frustrated by having to return to the desk to change songs or volume. It’s for people who want to share vacation photos with friends and family without being tied to the desk. It’s for any of the millions of people using the Internet to browse and watch videos on sites such as YouTube or Grouper. And it’s for people with a living-room computer or media PC who want to navigate their media content on their terms.”

At first glance, the Vertical Mouse looks all wrong and I instinctively want to tip it back over again — but I’m a Little Endian. It’s supposed to be more ergonomic than the mouse we all currently use, with a shape to “support your hand in a fully upright handshake position which reduces pain and strain from the forearm twisting you get from a normal mouse”. No, it doesn’t slide sideways when you click. As usual, it’s for Windows (although the site does have a link to a shareware Mac driver). Comes in silver and black and has models for both lefties and righties. $80. [GT]
