Logitech has announced a new mouse on Wednesday for the travelling laptop user, around the home, with a new feature called Clip-and-Go.

The new model, called the Logitech V550 Nano is a cordless laser mouse that comes with a docking station so you can clip the V550 mouse to your laptop and go.

“To meet the demands associated with increased mobility, the V550 mouse offers a complete set of features to make it easier to use a mouse with a notebook when moving from the kitchen to the living room or from one’s desk to a meeting. Now, you won’t have to choose between grabbing your mouse or a cup of coffee," said a Logitech spokesman.

The V550 Nano also features the Plug-and-Forget Nano-receiver that sits in a USB port and protrudes just 8 mm, so it doesn’t have to be unplugged when you stow your laptop.

Logitech say the V550 mouse offers up to 18 months of battery life while the scroll wheel will the be same as on the company's Revolution mouse allowing users to spin freely to let you move quickly through long documents and Web pages.

The V550 Nano is offered in two colors – gray with silver accents and silver with cool-blue accents.

The Logitech V550 Nano cordless laser mouse for notebooks is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in late August. The suggested retail price in the UK is £39.99 while the US it is $59.99.
