Intel vs. AMD

Product Review: Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks

BEST I've Seen

This is the best wireless mouse for notebooks that I've ever seen. I can hiberate my laptop or even completely reboot and the mouse and USB receiver still automatically reconnect when I restart, even after turning the mouse off. I can't even remember the last time I had to manually hit the "Connect" buttons on the receiver and mouse to synch them up. The on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse is great for traveling. No more taking the batteries out first! The battery conservation of it amazing too. I've had mine for three months now and have yet to replace the batteries. My previous mouse by Targus wouldn't last a week. The optical nature of it has been a surprise too. I was sceptical at first, but it works great anywhere. In fact, I'm sitting on the couch while typing this and the mouse works fine sitting on the cloth cushion beside me, and without draining the battery in a heartbeat!
