If you’re the kind of user who’s constantly hopping from one conference room to another, this clever little contrivance could really come in handy. The dock is just a small stick-on nub (which Logitech promises is easily removable); the mouse snaps onto it much like a coat-pocket flap snaps shut.

The V550 also comes with a tiny 2.4GHz USB receiver that protrudes only about half an inch from the port where it’s inserted, meaning you could probably leave it there full-time. Best of all, Logitech claims the V550 will last 18 months on a single set of AA batteries. Cleverly, the mouse automatically powers off when docked.

It’s a little pricey at $59.99 list, but the Logitech V550 could be the perfect mouse for folks who are constantly on the run with their notebooks. [via Crave]

    The only nice thing about this mouse is the ?clip-and-go? dock. Having said that, everyone carry a notebook bag which should be able to pack in the mouse as well. So, this feature is not that great after all.
