This deal is somewhere between warm and hot. I know a guy at work with one of these and I'd say it's the best laptop mouse I've ever seen. Can't ever recall seeing it this cheap either. Pretty sure Dell has no ship charges on this too.

[gecko]

Thanks ordered. :)

[lemon]

Been looking for a deal for a couple of months. Just ordered this one. Thanks!!

[dande]

Look like a good deal. Ordered one. Thank.

[M.D.]

what does it mean battery lasts up to one year? because that sounds impossible unless you don't use the mouse at all. :lol:
my wireless logitech v200 needs a battery change every 2 months from intensive usage.

[chicadam]

I was going to buy this a BB for $59.99 today... it look that good. Luckily I didn't.

The USB adapter sticks out only like 1.5 cm (others average like 4 cm) and its a laser mouse.

I still think this is a hot deal.

This was quoted from Logitech's website.

The newer models have made significant advancements in battery life but 1 year does sound a little bit unrealistic.

That's why Logitech includes this in the fine print:
"**Battery life may vary depending on usage". :)

Compared to v200, v450 (like v270, v500, etc.) does come with a battery-saving on-off switch.

[OracerO]

so is this a good mouse?

and are there any dell coupons out here rite now? ahah

[M.D.]

k I'm going to pull the trigger on this one. Thanks OP!

[zander]

Thanks for the heads up. I just purchased a Dell notebook and this is the perfect companion!

[McLaren]

I got this during Dell's 10 days of deals back in the fall for the same price and it is a great mouse, highly recommended.

[Haris]

what is a better mouse??? The microsoft laser 6000 (not notebook) or this logitech v450? Thanks for ur repsonses ahead of time

[OracerO]

i can't say, because i dont own both mouses. But what i can say is that i've owned Microsoft products (keyboard/mouse") and Logitech products (keyboard/mouse) and let me tell you that Microsoft sucked huge.

[Daijoubu]

Too small to my liking, VX Revolution anyday :)

[7-Endless]

I got this during Dell's 10 days of deals back in the fall for the same price and it is a great mouse, highly recommended.

Same here - this mouse is great! It was a big improvement over the crappy V400 which had so many tracking problems especially on a black surface.

[TeriyakiJack]

anyone try PM'ing this thing?

[FusionSenses]

Only concern, no thumb buttons, and it became required for me nowadays.

[5abSingh]

i'm going to try pm'ing this at either FS (63.99) or BB (59.99) and i'll let everyone know what happens.

Dell did state everything on their site = free shipping until Dec. 31. After Dec. 31, who knows:?:

You really should take a look at the VX, its probably the best mouse on the market right now (laptop, not desktop).
http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=dhs&cs=CADHS1&sku=A0718470

But i do agree, this is a hot deal considering the vx is selling for 99.99 (lowest i've seen = 59.99 from various sells) while this mouse is going for 29.99. The difference between the 2 mouse isnt big but the price is.

I am using vx now, it's not that great, but it's damn expensive. cheap built compare to other logitech model i have. Fit and finish is not as perfect as m518, chubby movement during critical moment in ranking online game frustrated me.

[john103]

Can i use this on my desktop with no problem reception wise?

[zoomzoom]

Can i use this on my desktop with no problem reception wise?

The mouse should be fine for either a laptop or desktop. Generally, unless you have small hands, you might want to consider a larger mouse for desktop. But if it is comfortable for you, then go for it :)

[FusionSenses]

Can i use this on my desktop with no problem reception wise?

My hand and arm hurts for the first 4 days of using the vx, which is about the same size as this one, you just have to get use to it.

I would suggest a bigger mouse if it's for desktop.

[john103]

can u guys plz recommend one for just surfing websites and WIRELESS?

[aingaran]

I'm 6'3", so you can imagine how big my hands would be.. The mouse is pretty uncomfortable as it's quite small compared to the regular mice that I usually use.. But, I'm trying to adjust. It's a nice mouse though.

Stubby fingers? Usually comes from the fathers side.. :razz:

[Blunt]

I bought this mouse for $29 at the last Dell days too.
Very good mouse, battery is going strong.
Still the smallest USB receiver on the market. :!:
But my only complaint is that Dell has only the CARBON colour (dark grey) and not the silver one in the picture. I wanted the silver one cause it would have matched with my Dell Lappy. But the carbon one is still very nice.

Pick it up.. A very good buy.


OOpps.. I meant Graphite.. Graphite is the darker colour and that's the one they have at Dell.

[LxSedan]

just picked one up, thanks for the post, was about to get the V400 off FS site but then saw this :)

[mahjongmaniac]

I like using it for web surfing on my laptop thats about it. Its small, compact, and has the back/forward buttons. For gaming, G7 and G5 are by far the best mouse (i tried mx rev and didnt like it, but never tried to game with the vx... the option to change the refresh rate gives a big adventage in almost any FPS that has a scope).

[roy]

Dell site says it uses 2xAA batteries... is this true? That usually makes for a very heavy mouse - I've been happy with the weight of my Microsoft cordless notebook mouse (only 1 AA), but it's had other problems.

You can just power it up with 1 AA battery if you feel that it's too heavy. ;)

[Max_Dealing]

Got one and like it. It weights more then my mx510 with two batts in it but what ever. The wheel feels nice, left right up daon all good.

I replaced my mx510 with this and it feels fine.

Down side is it is missing my favorite back button. I will survive.

[Angultra]

Thanks, ordered one for my mac mini, I figure it'll improve the tracking over my old LX300 mouse...and I can't justify paying more than double for the VX revolution.

If you need a back button, they also have a Microsoft one for $39 (save $30).

http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=dhs&cs=CADHS1&sku=A0530244

Or if you need a Midi keyboard they have the Creative Prodikeys on sale also for $39 (save $20)

http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=dhs&cs=CADHS1&sku=A0781344

[Coppertone2005]

Ordered one too. I have the VX and this seems like a good price to pass up. Thanks!

[kurono]

Thanks TC! I'm gonna go PM this at FS or BB. =)

[McLaren]

Down side is it is missing my favorite back button. I will survive.

You can map the left side scroll on the wheel to be your back button, works like a charm.

[can't get 'nough dealz]

i got mine pm at bestbuy and i bought it for 29 taxes in

[board123]

Guess I'll grab one at FS then, since it's closer to me than BB.

[coeternity]

$29.99 on fs now on their january clearance sale

[wilson.311]

ordered one

good price !

[Curiosity]

$29.99 on fs now on their january clearance sale

Not the same mouse...


F/S has the V400, which I have and love... (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10072982&catid=14265#)

http://www.futureshop.ca/multimedia/products/large/10072982.jpg


It also has the foreward and back page buttons !

[Daijoubu]

Tracking is not that good on dark surface, it wouldn't work at all on my laptop cart while my VX Rev tracks fine, also eats battery faster, one AA last about 2-3 weeks on daily use patern

[board123]

Tracking for the V400 is bad, period. I bought one a couple months ago and the tracking feels like the touchpad on your laptop. It doesn't have that "point and click" feel like other mice. The cursor would feel like it's smoothly floating around.

[daffod]

damn 29 bucks for mouse...is that smoking hot deal?????

[Max_Dealing]

Not to sure what it is but my new mouse is lagging today. It could be an over taxed computer. I lost connection and restarted the mouse. Then it started lagging. I removed the dongle and powered the mouse and now it works.

[collector]

Do Staples/FS/BB actually PM Dell?

Just PM'd one at FS. They sell it for $63.XX, so I got it for $25.XX +tax.
That was the easiest PM in my life.

I didn't get to PM it... shoot.

I'm using mine now from Dell and its really nice. If anyone needs a mouse, this is the one.

I kinda got lost with the tracking discussion in a few of the posts :o

So, do you notice any issues with tracking? Does it lag behind when you move the mouse, or is it very very responsive to your every movement? What about when you let the screen's screensaver activate - does a slight movement of the mouse immediately get registered by the receiver? Sorry that I have to ask all these questions, but I've gone through a few mice where the lag was unbearable and have since abandoned them and wasted $$ on them.

[Daijoubu]

My VX Revolution have zero lag, the V400 was pretty responsive aswell, I assume this V450 to be on par with the VX

Just make sure to install the drivers

I read from a couple people here that they had some tracking issues with the V400... The V450 seems fine, I didn't notice any.


The installation gave me some grief though.
Is anyone else getting this?
- Kept saying something about the Microsoft Logo not validated or something like that.... but I installed it by ignoring this.
- And every time I restart my computer it says new hardware detected

[jindogae]

got the mouse price matched at staples (they had it for $49). Guys at FS would not price match with dell. I haven't had issues with tracking and the option of turing off the mouse is nice.

[can't get 'nough dealz]

im returning it cause im getting the wireless migthy mouse for 30,,,

i know that the mm aint ergonomic, but i have a mac, and im really obsessed with matchin stuff lmao

[Headhunter]

Here's an RFD link for the V450 as well:

received mine today.

[Coppertone2005]

Rec'ed mine today too. Nice!

[tdotc]

Bought 2 today for $25.50 each before tax with a price match at Future Shop. The Yonge and Eglinton location in Toronto.

[mahjongmaniac]

Only concern, no thumb buttons, and it became required for me nowadays.

lol ... w/ LT's fwd/bk thumb buttons on the side of their mice, all i can say is i've never reverted back to any other mouse w/o it... :)

---------

Do Staples/FS/BB actually PM Dell?

yes they do... but as always, YMMV.

[uoft]

Went to Staples today after work. Picked up the mouse. It is sold for 49.99 but the computer system shows up 59.99. Good, one dollar less for me. Went to pm. They said Dell is gonna to charge for shipping. I said no and you can call to check. They did call and give up the arguing. So paid 29.52 and left. First time pm in store. Happy now.

[Shimso]

This was quoted from Logitech's website.

The newer models have made significant advancements in battery life but 1 year does sound a little bit unrealistic.

I wouldn't really doubt that some people could achieve that, I use my V200 a lot and for occasional gaming and have had it since september and the battery gauge is at 3/4 full....

[ledanqc]

Valid until January 18.

[Evil Baby]

If only it had the back/forward buttons on the side of the mouse it would be perfect. The g/f isn't too excited about the left tilt right tilt although it fits me perfectly fine on my G7

[TeriyakiJack]

i set mine to go "back" and "forward" on the tilt left and right. Just like having an extra two buttons.

[Max_Dealing]

I wouldn't really doubt that some people could achieve that, I use my V200 a lot and for occasional gaming and have had it since september and the battery gauge is at 3/4 full....

I will get back to you in a year. If it lasts half that time I will be happy. My cell phone says 8 days stand by and I get 2 at best.

[kingandjen]

ordered.. thx op

[chicadam]

:arrowu: :arrowu:

As mentioned, still available till Jan 18.

[OracerO]

but how is everyone liking this mouse so far ?

[mc_guru]

I successfully PMed this at Best Buy for $26.99+tax. Seems like a good value for the price. I was surprised at how tiny it actually is, but the size doesn't seem to be an issue so far and it's working well. And as mentioned above you can easily program the tilt to compensate for the lack of designated FWD/BACK buttons.

[grego9198]

Awesome this deal is back, I missed it by one day last time around when I went to PM futureshop. I'm going first thing after class to yonge/dundas' Bestbuy or Futureshop to do this.

Anyone know if I can use it on my desk without a mousepad without it wigging out like my current kensington optical mouse does every 10 minutes?

i don't use a mousepad anywhere and I haven't had a problem with this mouse on any of my table surfaces yet to date.

[SupsD]

Thanks! I found this thread yesterday, picked it up and I just received it today. I am using it right now and its a great mouse. Wicked! Thanks.

[imhere]

how long does it take to arrive/ship?

my confirmation email states an estimated ship date of Jan 22...:(

I am not sure, I live in the GTA and I order it yesterday (Jan 15th) and I got an estimated ship date of Jan 18. But instead I saw it at my front door today.

[gurshan]

pm'ed futureshop for $25 and tax. thanks op.

[grego9198]

I Pm'ed futureshop but they charged me 29.99, no 110% off and $0.99 more expensive, I guess I should've paid more attention when the cashier was ringing me through. Oh well its still an awesome mouse for 30 bucks, it tracks perfectly on my desk.

Yeah, I'm always watching to make sure they PM correctly, whether I'm at Futureshop, Bestbuy, Staples, etc. Many times I have to remind them about the extra 10%.

[CDN86]

great price for a great mouse. I got this deal last time when it was on the tuesday tech report.

[LxSedan]

don't worry man mine was wierd too it said estimated ship date of January 4th, i ordered it over the holidays. It was here on my door step on Jan 2nd, didn't get any further updates in e-mails or anythign saying it wa sent and stuff but it came.

[Scottie]

I bought mine for $39.99 and Iam happy with it, I did have a $80 one that was laggy this one it a lot better.

[ChangMai]

Ordered mine on the night of Jan 14...arrived on Jan 16
Great mouse, nice and small.

[tallshorty111]

Pricematched mine today at Staples for $25.

I don't know though. I don't notice any difference compared to my Logitech Media Play mouse. I might be returning the V450. I think I might miss the media buttons.

[canadiantj]

I went to FS to pick this mouse up today. Had to fight for the price match. Went to two different csr's and finally to a manager. She matched the price but wanted to charge me FS shipping charge cause they said Dell did not have an overnight option. This went on for 20 min before she made me a deal. PM for 29 took off the 110% and then added 10 for shipping. All in all, 38 bucks. Guess its better than nothing since I had a gift card burning a hole in my wallet.>:(

You mean to tell me FS has an overnight shipping option? The shipping is free from DELL even if it is not overnight shipping. They should PM with free shipping.

[ChangMai]

I think its better to order it at Dell and get it delivered for free.
No need to waste money on gas and time it takes to pricematch, all that to save $5 is not worth it IMO (opportunity cost) But whatever floats your boat :D

[sunnyd21]

PM today at Futureshop Brampton Location for $25.50 plus Tax,

[gurshan]

Some people live close to Futureshop and thus don't waste gas. Others want the product in their hands right away. In addition, many of us use futureshop giftcards which give us another 20 percent off. Thus, I save 10 dollars off the dell price and have the mouse at my home right now.

[tallshorty111]

Anyone know what is the sensitivity of this mouse (i.e. the DPI)?

It feels the same as my 800 dpi Logitech Mediaplay mouse in terms of movement.

[zander]

I love this mouse. Been using it for a couple of weeks now (I think). It's small, the USB dongle is small and stores away after use, automatically shutting the mouse off. If I'm putting the notebook on standby for a while, the mouse has a separate independent power button too. The sensitivity is great, so is the accuracy. I've used it on a leather sofa, fabric sofa, jeans leg, tile floor, cardboard box, glass table top, and a whole whack of other surfaces. The mouse chugs along on all surfaces without discrimination. Can't comment on battery life yet, will let you know... in a year. :)

[zoomzoom]

Gawd! I have no will power :( I kept reading this post and then finally broke down today and went did a pm. Will try it out and see how it work :)

[CouponKindaGuy]

my mx1000 is too big for my lappy, so this will be replacing it.
thanks OP

[Pricyber]

well i went to FS at downtown, I log in my account to show that shipping is free, but they said is below their cost, so i just order one right there, infront of him. I am not going to waste time arguing for $5. well i should thank them for the internet...

I use to have an v400, and its rubbish, both senstivity and accuracy, sucks, (compare both to my mx700 and lx7) hope the v450 have improve on that.

anyone know whats the dell return policy?

[Siefer999]

ordered mine yesterday night, received this morning

[rs77]

I did a PM at futureshop and picked up the last two....am using it now and its working pretty well...no complaints...new laptop from staples and a wireless mouse...im a happy camper.

[y2knp]

FS sux. I juz went to FS at Warden/HWY7 tonit. They didn't price match for me becuz they said "it's limited time offer" which shown on dell.ca.

[warthunder2k]

Ordered.

[zoomzoom]

Ok, I've tried this mouse for about an hour since I got it last night, and I can say that it is an excellent mouse. It tracks very well; there is no lag; is a good size for a laptop user; "expected" 1 year battery life; super small USB receiver (it does not interfere with my wireless network). If you get it, you'll be happy with it.

[GVRtrader]

The deal seems dead now (it was actually died last night at around 12am est (9pm pst), right after i decided to order one since the targus i got with my backpack started dying...)

you can try calling dell and as for the deal, they might give it to u as well.

I ordered mine last night got it at just now... testing ....
