The good: Five programmable buttons; four-way scrollwheel; 30-foot wireless reception; comfortable, contoured shape; fits left- and right-handed users.

The bad: Buttons are too close together; Mac software not included on disc; expensive.

The bottom line: With five programmable buttons, a four-way scrollwheel, and a comfortable design, the Logitech V400 is a leader in the notebook-mouse category.

Logitech's V400 Laser Cordless Mouse for Notebooks has just about everything a road warrior could want: it offers five programmable buttons (rare for a notebook mouse), a four-way scrollwheel, a 30-foot wireless range, and a comfortable design. The $49.99 mouse is a bit expensive, but its similarly priced counterparts, such as the Kensington PilotMouse Laser Wireless, don't offer the programmability or the comfort of the Logitech V400.

The V400 works as a plug-and-play device, but to get all the benefits of this package, you need to install SetPoint software from the included CD. The disc lacks Mac software, instead directing you to a URL for a download. Once installed, the software makes configuring the five buttons easy; you choose which button you'd like to program and select from a list of tasks and functions. You can also configure rudimentary mouse movements, such as pointer speed and acceleration. SetPoint also allows you to monitor your mouse's battery.

Measuring 3.5 by 2.5 inches, the V400 is slightly larger than most notebook mice, but it's still very portable. We love that it has two extra buttons, both located to the left of the primary button. You don't need to move your hand to click them, but they're positioned very close together so clicking in error is a possibility. The sides are contoured for comfort, and this mouse will fit both left- and right-handed users, though the extra buttons are placed for rightie users.

    Summary: We found the V400 versatile, but no more so than single laser units. In fact, the single laser of the Mighty Mouse and VX Revolution worked better on reflective surfaces. It is indeed sensitive, but perhaps overly so €" we had to turn the tracking ...
