Logitech has introduced the V550 Nano cordless laser mouse for notebooks, featuring the Clip-and-Go dock that lets users clip the V550 mouse to their laptop.

"Logitech research revealed that the vast majority of people who use a notebook PC are mobile both within and outside the home," said Rory Dooley, Logitech senior vice president and general manager of the Control Devices business unit. "To meet the demands associated with increased mobility, the V550 mouse offers a complete set of features to make it easier to use a mouse with a notebook when moving from the kitchen to the living room or from one’s desk to a meeting. Now, you won’t have to choose between grabbing your mouse or a cup of coffee."

The V550 Nano also features the Plug-and-Forget Nano-receiver that stays nearly flush against the side of the computer (protruding 8 mm), so it doesn’t have to be unplugged when users stow their laptop.

The V550 offers up to 18 months of battery life and is the only Logitech cordless laser mouse currently offering this extended level of use. Plus, the V550 Nano saves additional power by automatically turning off when it's docked or when the Nano-receiver is stored inside the mouse.

To enhance productivity, the V550 mouse's scroll wheel can spin freely to let users move quickly through long documents and Web pages. By pressing down on the wheel, users can switch to click-to-click scrolling mode and scroll precisely through lists, slides or photos.

Logitech’s advanced 2.4 GHz wireless technology provides a powerful, reliable signal that effectively eliminates delays and dropouts.

The V550 Nano is offered in two colors – gray with silver accents and silver with cool-blue accents. With the purchase of the new Logitech mouse, users will receive two Clip-and-Go docks – one silver, one black.

The new Logitech mouse is compatible with both PC and Mac computers, and the Clip-and-Go dock is compatible with all notebook styles.

The Logitech V550 Nano cordless laser mouse for notebooks is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in late August at a suggested retail price of $59.99.
