VX Nano, where did that receiver go?

"Ma, did you see the receiver of my new VX Nano mouse? Hold on, I think the mouse is still working..?". Don't be surprised when one day you thought you've lost the receiver of your Nano mouse but did not realize that its actually still connected to your computer's USB port. Don't believe? Well, with Logitech anything is possible.

Introducing Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks. The cordless laser mouse with the smallest USB receiver in the whole world! How small you say? Logitech claims that you can just "plug and forget that its there". See the pictures below to believe how small it actually is.

Below are some simple comparisons of the Nano receiver againts an Ikea AA battery and a G7 mouse receiver. I put my Nokia phone in just so that you look at the bigger picture. ;P

The receiver is 1.8cm in length and weighs only at 2 grams!

The VX Nano mouse is all about portability. There are several reasons why this mouse is so portable that you will want to bring it anywhere you go. First, it comes with a sleek carrying case that you can store your mouse and bring it along with you.

What about the receiver? Fear not. In the battery compartment under the mouse, there's actually a place where you can store the nano receiver! How convenient!

Best of all, the mouse automatically turns off when the nano receiver is inserted into its storage slot. Turn itself on when you eject it via the little red button on the side.

There's a battery indication on the top side of the mouse to let you know of the battery status of your mouse. It will light up in green for a brief moment when you first turn on the mouse or wakes it up from sleep. When the battery is running low, it will light up in red to inform you.

I’m not going to go into details about the special features at all. What is so special about this mouse is the size of its receiver and ultra portability. Very convenient for laptop users and someone who travels often. You just need to pop 2 triple A batteries in, connect the nano USB receiver to any available USB ports on your computer and you’re all ready to go.

Since its using laser precision sensors, you can use it on almost any surfaces. Of course don’t expect it to work on reflective or glass surfaces. Tracking wise it is very smooth and I have never experienced something so small that can track so well.

With SetPoint software, you can even program the extra buttons (left/ right tilt, back/ forward, one touch search, etc) on the mouse itself to best suit your browsing experience.

Conclusion

If you think you have small hand, love small and compact things, then this is the mouse for you. People with big hands will find it difficult to use the mouse because its sooooo small.
