Logitech VX Nano Mouse Review

When I first got wind of Logitech’s latest notebook mouse, I couldn’t help but be excited. The VX Nano sports the smallest USB receiver I’ve ever seen, finally a receiver I could just leave in and forget about. With such a small receiver I had my doubts about performance. So I dropped by a local electronics store and shelled out the $70 premium.

After spending two weeks with the VX Nano I’m ready to share my impressions. The build quality is excellent, shaking the mouse I hear some slight movement inside, but not enough to raise any concerns, for the most part, the construction is solid. I’ve used plenty of mice that have a rattle to them, which drives me crazy, especially when playing a first person shooter, where quick mouse movements are a common thing.

The VX Nano comes with a carrying case, made of a spongy cloth mesh and USB dock, which acts as an USB extension cord for desktop users. I liked the rubber grips located on both sides of the VX Nano, it has a good texture to it, reducing the chance of slips. Although I do miss the sunken thumb grip of the VX Revolution, the VX Nano’s thumb grip is just slightly sunken.

The rear of the VX Nano is rather flat in comparison to the VX Revolution, depending on your hand size, most likely you’ll be holding the VX Nano with your finger tips. If a comfortable palm rest is important to you, you may want to forgo the Nano for the Revolution, I found the Revolution more comfortable to use over long periods of time.
