Logitech has announced the V550 Nano wireless laser mouse with its miniscule USB receiver and Clip-and-Go dock. The wireless receiver is designed to stay plugged into a laptop’s USB port without needing to be removed for transport. The receiver only protrudes about 8mm while plugged in. Another new feature of the V550 Nano is the Clip-and-Go dock which allows users to clip their mouse to their laptop for easy carrying.

The Logitech V550 Nano is compatible with PC and Mac and will begin shipping in late August 2008 in the US and Europe.
