So I get this UPS package from Amazon, snatch it from the guy with almost unbridled anticipation, shaking it so very slightly to estimate what I thought was inside. Of course, I expected my mouse to be inside and consequently treated the package as gently as possible.
We said our goodbyes and I hastily ran to the kitchen with my precious package under my arm, searching and finding the scissors, letting the air penetrate its confines, lifting the flaps and seeing the wrapping.
I was a little surprised. I couldn’t feel or see any movement, there were no sounds, there wasn’t a single sensory signal coming out from under the wrapping.
I suddenly felt a wave of dread come over me. Was my precious cargo dead? Was it used and abused during its trip? My worst fears piled up, one after another.
My practical nature butted in and started regreting the purchase and acquisition of all the accomodations, the staples, doctor appointments, flu shots, I mean,all that cash thrown to the wind.
But never mind that. How about all the experiments I had planned for the Genetic Studies Department, and the anticipation of my fellow scientists when we present them with the evidence of other form of life, of how the DNA AND RNA are missing from the mouse’s cells, but yet under harsh circumstances and when individually cultured, they reproduce — the presentation is due tomorrow. I’m doomed. I’ll never buy from Amazon again.
PS How they could make such an obvious mistake is beyond me.

Please respond.

This mouse is great when it works. I was about to get a new laptop and I decided I’d get a really nice mouse to go with it. Works great on my old laptop. Works great with my desktop. New laptop, won’t work. USB ports are good, all drivers are updated, clean fresh install of Windows XP Pro. It gives me an error that the device has malfunctioned 95% of the time I plug it in. One time I plugged it in and it worked great. Now it won’t work again. All my other USB devices work 100%.
There is some kind of driver incompatibility with my HP nx9010. You can’t point it directly to the driver files on the disk – you have to use their disk install and hope it works. I’m an IT professional. The drivers suck. I’m going to have to return this – too bad, it’s a nice mouse. I’m bummed.

I actually would give this mouse a 4 or 5-star but who reads the good reviews? People want to know what can go wrong, right? So this is what can go wrong:
The USB transmitters do not like to be paired with another V450 mouse without using the Logitech Connection Utility downloaded with the drivers. If you use the mouse, install the drivers. I bought 3 of these mice used. A new mouse probably will not have the problem, but they’re only new “before” you open the package, right?
Take the USB transmitter out, insert the batteries (you have to push on a secret little button on the bottom of the mouse inside the stick slot to open the battery compartment) and turn on the mouse. The LED on the bottom should light up green and stay on. The LED on the top of the mouse turn on green for “good” battery, red for “low” battery, and blinking-red for “call CSI”. If it turns green it will fade to “off” in a few seconds, so enjoy it while it lasts. THis is normal.
After plugging the transmitter into your computer’s USB slot it should connect (“boo-beep” sound on a PC.). Hover on the Logitech Icon on the right task bar to check the mouse’s battery. If there is no “battery is good” popup then the mouse is NOT connected. If you run the Logitech Setpoint driver utility there should be a tab called “My Mouse” when run. If not, then the mouse is not connected. “Half-connected” the mouse will give a “good battery indication” (see above) but if the cursor does not move you have to use the Connection Utility that came with the drivers to reset the mouse.
Oh, the pain I went through trying to get 3 used V450’s working! But once connected…I love them. Except he dead one. CSI Logitech, come get this one.
