None the less, it would have been convenient. The Logitech Cordless MouseMan Optical uses a neat thing called radio signals. With radio signals, the unit doesn t have to be in a perfect line with the receiver. Logitech states that the mouse can work up to six feet away from the receiver, but the range decreases as the battery drains. Interestingly enough, the Logitech Cordless MouseMan Optical appears to work with the cordless receivers packaged in with other Logitech devices, which is a good thing for those who just want to replace their cordless Logitech mouse without replacing the receiver as well.
Installation is a snap.
Put this bad boy into your USB port, install the software, and you re ready to go. The mouse is extremely comfortable. I would actually say that it s more comfortable than my Microsoft Explorer Mouse. It's also very light, even with the batteries in it. The Cordless MouseMan Optical is certainly comfortable but one of the few downsides to this mouse is that it gets suspended every single time you leave it alone.
