When it comes to peripherals, cordless is the way to go whenever possible. The rule of thumb is that the more a peripheral moves, the more noticeable the improvement in ease of use once that given peripheral is free of a tether. If budgets are a concern and you can only afford to make one object cordless, the mouse is an excellent place to start.
One of the big advantages that Logitech has over others in the mouse field is that they have always been aware of the problem typical of most mice and that is a good fit. Many are so poorly designed that they feel like bricks on wheels. With the latest addition to the Logitech stable, the Logitech Cordless Click! Plus, it has much to recommend it as the perfect companion for the surfer who wants to go cordless.
The big advantages being touted with this mouse are the shape, the colors and the curving styling. There are no sharp abrupt edges at all. Everything has a real smooth feel to it in the palm of the hand. This model features a sparkling blue paint job that may remind you of the mother of pearl paint job that once was popular on small Hondas. It is coupled with a slick silver color that adds an updated hi-tech look. I am not so sure the car metaphor is completely out of order. There is something almost “automotive” about the appearance of this device.
Feature wise, the important ones are the application switch and the back and forward browser buttons. The application switch, located on the top of the mouse, allows you to move back and forth between applications without having to double click on the task bar. Just depressing this button gives you access to whatever is open conveniently. Granted this is not an “earth shattering” feature, it is a convenient one that once you start using you wonder how you lived without it.
The same holds true for the back and forward buttons. Unlike previous Logitech mice that had the buttons located on either side of the mouse, in this rendition the forward and backward buttons are on the right hand side of the device. Before I continue, this Logitech mouse can work for left hand users, and is compatible with Macs. Again, this is a feature that may not seem that essential until you start browsing and employing it on a regular basis.
Depending on how comfortable you were with the buttons being on either side of the mouse as they were in the MX 310, this can or cannot be a deal breaker. I was very comfortable with the backward and forward buttons being on either side. On the other hand, the MX310 was not cordless, and it does not take that long to adjust to the change.
Setting up the mouse is an easy process. The important thing to keep in mind is to depress the small button on the bottom of the base of the device that hooks up to your computer and then depressing the equally small button located on the bottom of the mouse itself. Failure to do so can result in a mouse that does not work. The directions for the device are pretty simple. As long as you follow the steps outlined in the little booklet and follow the sequence step by step, you should have no problems. Even the software installation is very basic. Literally, if you can turn on a PC, it will run.
Even with a high end system, when it comes to mice, you are almost always better off shopping for one rather than settling for what came with your system. If you are a frequent Web surfer, need a cordless mouse and want both quality and function, you cannot go wrong with the Logitech Cordless Click! Plus.
