I’ve been reasonably pleased with Macally’s BT MouseJr as a mouse for my Powerbook. However, after using both my MX1000 and MX Revolution on my Mac Pro, the lack of response in Bluetooth mice has become really obvious to me. The problem with RF mice is the dongle you need to plug in. While Logitech’s VX Nano doesn’t change that fact, it’s dongle is the smallest I’ve seen.

The mouse itself is smaller than the VX that preceded it (which despite its size was marketed for laptop use as well). It does have a ton of features, like Logitech’s new free spinning scroll wheel and laser precision. It plus includes other great touches like a protective pouch and the use of standard

AAA batteries, each set of which will final 6 months (at least according to Logitech). Better yet, while it has a slight right hander bias with the forward/back buttons on the left of the device, it’s otherwise symmetrical, making it a good choice for lefties.

The only poor part is Logitech’s woeful software. I still recommend USB Overdrive. The mouse will cost $79.99 retail and be available in August.
