Logitech V200 Mouse Battery Lasts One Year

Logitech V200 Mouse Battery Lasts One Year

The Logitech V200 Cordless Notebook Mouse can last up to a year on two AA batteries because it uses 2.4 GHz digital cordless technology. The 2.4 GHz digital cordless technology also provides a stronger connection between the mouse and micro-receiver than found in conventional 27 MHz mice. The 2.4 GHz technology gives users a range of up to 30 feet, which is great for presentations, and is less prone to interference when there are other wireless signals in the same area, a common situation in the workplace. The mouse’s powerful optical engine works on a wide range of surfaces, giving mobile professionals more flexibility when selecting a place to work. It will work on a chair at the airport or on a coffee shop table.

The mouse features Logitech’s Tilt Wheel Plus Zoom, which allows people to effortlessly scroll left, right, up and down, and zoom in and out of images, Web pages and open documents.

Initially available in onyx and silver colors, the Logitech V200 Cordless Notebook Mouse builds upon the design of the best-selling Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks. The Logitech V200 Cordless Notebook Mouse will be available at U.S. and European retailers and online this month. The suggested retail price for the product is $39.99 in the U.S.

The Logitech Cordless Mini Optical Mouse is ideal for notebook PC users who value comfort and simplicity. The mouse is shaped to fit in the cup of the hand and provides a resting place for the thumb and pinky on either side. Customers can choose from two color options — aquamarine or silver, both bordered by a gray grip — adding some style to their mobile experience.

The Logitech Cordless Mini Optical Mouse also features: Logitech’s Tilt Wheel Plus Zoom scrolling wheel, a wireless range of six feet, and battery life of up to four months on only one AA battery.

The Logitech Cordless Mini Optical Mouse will be available at U.S. and European retailers and online beginning in July. The suggested retail price for the product is $29.99 in the U.S.

If you've been following our recent Nvidia GeForce RTX 40-series coverage, you may have noticed that most of the rumors are centered around the flagship RTX 4090. Today, a new leak explains why that might be the case.

It seems that Nvidia may only be planning to release a single new graphics card this year, with all the other models to follow in 2023. This brings us to the question: Is it really worth it to wait for the RTX 40-series at this point?

Cyberattacks have nearly doubled since last year, report says
Cybersecurity is a constant battle.

A recent analysis by fraud-buster and cybersecurity company Seon found that cyberattacks have nearly doubled since last year. Given that the number of people using the internet worldwide is creeping upward quite slowly by comparison, that means the odds that you'll be affected are increasing rapidly. It's time to double-check your security settings.

The most common cyberattacks reported were ransomware, phishing, and malware. Ransomware refers to software that threatens you with data loss or the sharing of personal information if a payment isn't made. Malware is similar but takes direct action to gain unauthorized access to your data, storage, and computer-processing power.

ARM vs. RISC-V: Is one better than the other?
An ARM processor.

If you wanted to make a CPU, and you're not AMD or Intel, there are two real choices: ARM and RISC-V. But what are the differences between the two, and why do companies choose one over the other? These questions are fundamentally intertwined with differing philosophies about open source hardware and what's best for the processor and computing industry.
What are ARM and RISC-V?

ARM and RISC-V are instruction set architectures, or ISAs. The ISA is the foundation of a processor and is the most fundamental and basic component of any CPU. Both ISAs are reduced instruction set computer (or RISC) designs, meaning the base instructions the CPU has access to are inherently simple but ideally fast to calculate. The 'R' in ARM actually stands for RISC (though ARM is no longer treated as an acronym), so in this sense the two ISAs are similar.
