Often, when upgrading a system, one may forget the part that the wireless USB mouse plays even though it is one of the most used components of the computer system and deserves to be taken as seriously as the processor and video card.

From its first appearance in 1963, the wireless USB mouse has certainly traveled a long road and the mechanical innards have gone and been replaced by high-resolution optical sensors and the precise lasers require no cleaning, and gone, too are the wires that connected the traditional mouse to the computer.

High Sensitivity and Accuracy are a Must

The wireless USB mouse should have high sensitivity and this requires that it not require much hand movement on the part of the user as well as have high accuracy that will come in handy when choosing pixels in Photoshop and other similar computer software programs.

The most important feature of a wireless USB mouse, besides its seamless connectivity, should be its ergonomic design which should provide for ease of use and not cause one to become another statistic in the burgeoning millions of Americans down with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Logitech V400 Laser Cordless Notebook Mouse

With new Macbooks looming on the horizon, it is time that a new and improved wireless USB mouse hits the market that has style and substance. The V400 is a very energy efficient wireless USB mouse that is powered by one AA battery and this mouse has a fantastic battery life that may even give a week's usage, without running out the batteries.

In order to prolong battery life, this wireless USB mouse has eliminated any chance of the mouse inadvertently switching itself on while in the laptop bag through use of a stow-away micro-receiver that also acts as a power switch.

The V400 gives longer distance with the help of its 2.4GHz spectrum and there is absolutely no interference encountered when used with a laptop and a very important feature of this wireless USB mouse is that it can detect changes in frequency of reflected light and that in turn, allows for better tracking on a greater number of surfaces. It certainly can outperform its LED counterparts and the dual lasers perform well even on dirt surfaces.

This wireless USB mouse is a breakaway from traditional mice and its long wireless range is perfect for making presentations and in addition, the tracking is good and there is hardly anything more that can be said about its solid battery life. It is also compatible for use with Macs and has side scrolling, a stow-away receiver as well as back and forward buttons and one can safely say that is one very nifty wireless USB mouse that would make any laptop junkie jump with joy, using it for any purpose.
