The design of the mouse
is quite streamlined and neatly fits in your hand with all the buttons
at easy access. The unit also has a rubber-like material on the sides of
the mouse for added grip while using the mouse.
Before connecting the
Logitech V450 to our AMD test machine, we first needed to install the 2
batteries that came with the mouse into the unit and then connect the
receiver into a spare USB port. It should also be noted that the battery
compartment was quite accessible and once the USB receiver was removed,
the hatch could then be opened for easy installation.
Although the device does
come with software, Windows Vista flawless installed the software
without any prompting from the user at all. Another interesting feature
is that the USB wireless receiver is quite small and is perfect for
laptop users or even desktop users who wish to minimise clutter and
weight while transporting.
With battery replacement only required every
12-months (depending on usage), this mouse is the perfect accessory for
your laptop or desktop machine. Unfortunately we cannot wait 12-months
to test this fact but considering the track record of Logitech, this
claim is more than likely highly accurate. When the mouse is not being
used, it automatically powers down to maximise battery life and by
moving the mouse again, the unit returns to usability after a brief
pause.
We tested the mouse with
a variety of software packages that included Microsoft Windows Vista,
Adobe PhotoShop, Microsoft Office and even World of Warcraft that
extremely accurate and smooth, with no lag whatsoever. Design programs
performed remarkably well and were extremely accurate. The unit is also
2.4Ghz compliant which means interference will be non-existent or
minimal at best.
In conclusion, the Logitech V450 is a great ergonomically
designed mouse that is easy to install and best of all is quite compact
and sturdy. Definitely one for the user on the go or for those that want
the best at an affordable price.
