Logitech V270 Cordless Optical Notebook Mouse Today, Logitech announced the release of the company’s very first cordless mouse that doesn’t need its own receiver, in India. Called ‘Logitech V270’, the Cordless Optical Notebook Mouse for Bluetooth applies wireless technology to connect with notebook PCs and Apple PowerBook notebooks that have an in-built Bluetooth receiver. It offers mobile professionals a one-piece, ultra-portable alternative to the touchpad.

The Logitech V270 mouse is based on the design of the Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks, which has been extremely popular and has in fact also been a best seller among the rapidly growing number of notebook PC users. The mouse is charcoal gray in color, uses Bluetooth 1.2 wireless technology, which features adaptive frequency thereby decreasing the chance of interference from other 2.4 GHz wireless devices such as Wi-Fi notebooks or cordless telephones.

With normal use, the Logitech Cordless Optical Notebook V270 mouse achieves a battery life of up to three months, which can be extended with its convenient on/off switch. In addition, as part of Logitech’s smart power management system, the mouse features a low-battery indicator light, helping remove the potential surprise of a dead battery. The Logitech V270 mouse has a 1000 dpi optical engine, offering smooth, precision tracking on a wide variety of surfaces - important for the mobile professional who uses the mouse on the road.

Moninder Jain, Director, South Asia, Logitech said, “This is a realization of how many cordless computer peripherals could work in the future - you turn them on and they directly connect with the computer - no external receiver necessary.” Jain added, “We’ve taken our best-selling notebook mouse design and removed the receiver to come up with a product that delivers the ultimate in convenience for those who have notebooks enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology.”

For PCs packed with the Windows operating system, the Logitech V270 mouse comes with a version of Logitech SetPoint software that makes it easy for the mouse to connect to its host computer for the first time. Pressing the reset button on the base of the mouse puts the mouse in discovery mode and launches SetPoint software, and an intuitive wizard helps the user establish the connection. On an Apple PowerBook, the mouse can be connected just like any other Bluetooth device by going through the control panel in the operating system and putting the mouse into discovery mode. After it’s connected the first time on either a PC or Mac, the mouse will automatically reconnect each time the computer starts.

The Logitech V270 Cordless Optical Notebook Mouse for Bluetooth available for Rs. 3995/- in India.
