Actually, for most people you don't need to install the software at all. On my Vista laptop I just use the OS Bluetooth options to find and sync with the mouse and I'm good to go. If you want to do non-standard button/wheel mappings you may need to install the Logitech software, but as a general rule I try to avoid software bloat whenever possible and the Logitech software is something you don't really need.

yes, i think they use a single standard program for all their mice and keyboards

Yes, this mouse comes with a CD for installation and is designed to support all computers. You will love this mouse; it works excellent, and lasts a long time. I own 3 and have purchased additional ones for other family members. Hope this helps...

I returned mine, because it didn't work. You have to verify which receiver for which mouse. Not all waves are the same, I made the mistake of purchasing before researching. There is a p/n id on the bottom of your mouse, that's the number you want to verify will work with your replacement. You could just contact Logitech support, they will tell you the replacement usb receiver if you tell them what wave model you have. Hope I helped!

There are different models of the same keyboard/mouse. One is Bluetooth and one is USB.

I would assume that if you preferred to use an external mouse you could install software and plug in standard USB port.....I prefer the mouse pad that is installed already....

No. This mouse is strictly blue tooth and does not come with a USB receiver. If your PC is blue tooth capable, go to control panel, then click on "Add Device" and look for USB Devices. There's a small button under the mouse to put it in "discover" mode for pairing up. Once it's paired, your PC remembers it. I like not having that USB piece poking out the side of my laptop, and since I only have one USB port, it gets saved for memory sticks.

No. It's not a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse. It will still work with your computer via the USB dongle that's included, but it won't connect via Bluetooth.

I asked the same question, for the same reason, over at the Logitech forum. Unfortunately, for security purposes, the mouse can only "mate" with one computer at a time, so you can't use the mouse with both laptops simulataneously. However, you can make a shortcut to the mouse's connection in the Bluetooth Manager and it's pretty easy to switch laptops by just pressing the little button under the mouse.

I have Windows 7 on my desktop. When I put in the USB device it searched Windows Update for a driver and installed it. The mouse seems to work fine although I haven't been able to find out how to adjust the two side buttons.

Dear Kornelia, the mouse came with an USB Bluetooth adapter.Connect it to your computer, after recognition, look down your mouse and will find the ON/OFF switch.Turn it ON. If you can't see the red light then charge the mouse'a battery with the USB cable, the connector is on the front side of the mouse.If all above was meet, then your computer should've recognize your new mouse. Enjoy it as me.

Logitech maintains a product support webpage where the software can be re-downloaded (though a newer version may be posted than what came on your CD). Search for V270 from Logitech support and look for "Downloads" on the product support page. However, most of the mouse functionality should work without the logitech software---this is how I use the mouse.

We tried Bluetooth, it works basically. When we connected a Bluetooth Laser Mouse the following problem occurs : After 1 to 3 Minutes of using the mouse in e.g. Firefox, Mouse will be disconnected. You will then have to reconnect the mouse using the Configure Tool, resp. at least you will have to switch from Desktop to Tiles view. We were not able to fix the problem and - actually there are no fixes available. Therefore we deactivated Bluetooth and bought a wireless USB Mouse which works properly.

Hi, When I look for bluetooth radios in the device manager it is not there so technically I guess it doesn't have bluetooth, but let me ask you why do you need it? The reason I am asking is, I have connected a wireless mouse and keyboard via a USB port and they work just fine. The only other reason I can think of that you might want bluetooth is to transfer files, but there is a multitude of other ways to do that. The most important question is how did I only pay $619 for the exact same computer on Amazon. I bought when Amazon had them in stock just 4 weeks ago and it was sold and fulfilled by Amazon. Now there are only other vendors. This laptop is incredible and I wouldn't let bluetooth stop me because technically, I think you can do everything you need without it. Again, I am doing a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with it just fine from 20 feet away. Keep checking the price and when it goes back to $619 - buy it.

Yes, Bluetooth or USB mouse. I prefer the Bluetooth as it doesn't take up your one USB while undocked.

I believe it comes with an installation cd. I do not remember using a cd to install it. It is easy to install and best of all you have access to all you need to know to solve any problems at Logitech.com; including the software. I hope this helps
