The Logitech V550 Nano’s a decent (cordless) laser mouse that installs as simple as it gets. Just plug the small wireless receiver into a USB port, put 2 AA batteries in the mouse and turn it on, then you are up and running: that simple.

The batteries supposedly last 18 months for average use according to Logitech. Probably does since it shut off after a minute of inactivity which definitely save power. Just a slight bump is needed to power it back up.

The shape of the V550 Nano is closer to a rectangle than typical mice and the two main buttons are extensions of the body so style is to opinion, but the buttons are easy to click. The response from both moving and clicking is very quick and accurate (what do expect from Logitech?) And of course the middle scroll wheel works 4 ways.

Then there is the docking station which is a simple square of metal with a round peg in the middle. Basically the stick it on whatever (bottom has sticker) and you can lock the mouse on it so it doesn’t get lost.

They also give you a small tin case for your tiny USB receiver, a extra “docking station”, and a tool to remove the sticky, one-time-use dock.

Overall, the Logitech V550 Nano is solidly built and a nice buy if you absolutely need a mouse.
