Now, you won't have to choose between grabbing your mouse or a cup of coffee."

Always ready for use, the V550 Nano also features the Plug-and-Forget Nano-receiver - it's so small that once it's plugged into your computer, you can forget about it. The Nano-receiver stays nearly flush against the side of the computer (protruding pro·trude

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.

The V550 Nano is offered in two colors - gray with silver accents and silver with cool-blue accents. And with the purchase of the new Logitech mouse, you'll receive two Clip-and-Go docks - one silver, one black. An included setup kit makes it easy to install the dock, and to remove it, if necessary.
