3.5 Good

The Bottom Line

The Logitech V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse has a scroll panel instead of a wheel, so you can scroll from side to side or up and down just by sliding a finger. We like that the USB RF receiver stows inside the mouse when not in use and that customization software is included, but the mouse isn't all that comfortable to hold.
