14 DAY TRIAL // Logitech launched the V400, a laser cordless laptop mouse with a rugged design that fits different work environments, from a home office to a conference room. The V400 is different from other products in its range because of its laser tracking engine and Logitech's proprietary wireless technology called 2.4 GHz Digital Cordless.
The V400's laser tracking engine is jointly developed by Logitech and Philips Laser Sensors. The engine is based on the Philips Twin Eye Laser technology that uses two lasers in order to detect microscopic surface variations, resulting in a precise tracking combined with performance. The new mouse also features Logitech's Tilt Wheel Plus Zoom, a tilting scroll wheel that adds side-to-side scrolling plus zoom, which is ideal for viewing large photos and web pages.
Logitech's 2.4 GHz Digital Cordless wants to bring reliable and powerful cordless mouse experience. Conventional mice use 27 MHz, a shorter less consistent range that can be easily interfered by nearby metal surfaces or other mice. But Logitech's 2.4 GHz gives a 15 meter range that is hassle and interference free.
Logitech claims that the new V400 is built from the ground up to provide unparalleled mobile performance. Also, the technology should provide a tracking that is pixel precise fro a wide variety of surfaces, from wood to glass and metal. Moreover, V400 automatically turns off when the Micro Receiver is stored inside, for energy power saving reasons. For users to easily check the battery level, a battery indicator light lets them know when the battery is running low.
The housing of Logitech's V400 is shock resistant and features rubber panels and a storable Micro Receiver that are built to survive the bumps on the road. The storable Micro Receiver is a plug-and-play receiver that slides into mouse for easy transport. Users can push to eject and power up or stow it away to shut down. A protective door covers the storage slot when receiver is in use.
