Review on Logitech V500 Cordless Notebook Mouse by Adam Wawrzyski ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Lousy product, low quality.

The mouse is good, but absolutely everything is spoiled by the basis on which it is made - the stupidest closed proprietary radio technology, along with a long transmitter to the USB port, which breaks very easily, which happened in my case. Without this transmitter, the mouse literally turns into garbage - it is incompatible with any other transmitters or Logitech products. Literally a mouse on a disposable and closed technology (that's why proprietary products go sideways to the consumer - over time it's just junk that can't even be repaired). It is impossible to buy a new transmitter, because Logitech is not physically present in 2022 and, in principle, some kind of virtual in itself - only if you order from the USA, which I did, but this company is simply amazing in how it can harm the consumer - it turns out they made different versions and so "super- closed" mouse, there is a European version. with a green transmitter tip and an American with a gray-violet. Guess which one Logitech from USA sent me? An American transmitter that is completely incompatible and does not connect to a European mouse in any way. I'm glad they discontinued this product, cat. turned into a mockery for so many (see forums abroad) and Logitech finally turned towards open standards and technologies.

Pros
  • Perfect for small hands, takes up little space. Someone will benefit from the touch middle button for scrolling.
Cons
  • Not suitable for large hands, uses third-party batteries (quick discharge - no power saving function), too long inconvenient USB receiver, created using proprietary (closed) 2.4Ghz radio technology, unpromising. The manufacturer is not present in 2022 - the impossibility of repairs / spare parts.
