Guide Review - Logitech Notebook Optical Wheel Mouse Plus
The Logitech Notebook Optical Mouse Plus has been designed to be used on any worksurface you have available and when not in use the cord wraps securely around the mouse and snaps in place.
This mouse is comfortable for use by either hand and it's very sturdy and solid feeling. At the same time it's not a heavy mouse and very easy to use even in small spaces. The cord doesn't get in the way nor does it tangle while using the mouse.
While many mobile professionals don't wish to carry a mouse when traveling, this mouse may make you change your mind. It's easy to use and can be plugged into any available USB port - even in the middle of working if you decide not to use the keyboard and input pad on your laptop.
Unlike some optical mice that require a light coloured or smooth surface to operate properly, the Notebook Optical Mouse Plus works on every surface I tried - smooth glass, carpet, rough fabric and a smooth dark desktop.
I found that being able to use the mouse on any surface was the biggest benefit this mouse offers mobile professionals. Too often we are left with just our thigh or perhaps an armrest to use.
The shock-resistant body will withstand the jostling and bumps that occur while traveling. You won't have to worry that you will damage the mouse when it's inside your laptop case. It's also small enough that it will fit into any laptop case without adding any weight.
This is an ideal mouse when precision mouse control and a lightweight accessory are demanded.
