Travel Mouse
 

I use a laptop and schlep it around with me and so after trying one desktop mouse, which got a button that jammed making it unusable I would like to get a good travel mouse. I've got a big hand so I'd prefer a full size mouse, however durability is a big issue. Any suggestions?

Bump in hopes that the office crowd can help me out with a recommendation.

I've went through about three different ones and the current one (MS Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000) has been the best in terms of durability and performance.

Worst. Parody thread. Ever.

Which thread did I inadvertently parody?

Funny, because as a laptop user for about 4-5 years now I have never had a mouse for a laptop. After using one on the job last month it got me wanting one, so I went and picked one up two days ago.

I got the Targus wireless laser mouse for notebooks. Laser is excellent, I like it much better then optical. This Targus one comes with the receiver of course, and rechargeable batteries with a usb wire so you can charge and use when your batteries die. I have good size hands and the mouse is comfortable to me.

Negatives about it; battery life doesn't seem to be so hot so far(unless I didn't charge it enough out of the box which could be the case), the receiver is a little different(meant to fold/bend and touch table top) and would be much better if my USB ports were on the right side of my computer(not a big deal though really), and I don't like having to reset the connection every time I walk away for 15 minutes.

Overall, I like it a lot. I did see Target had the MS wireless laser notebook mouse on sale when I went there today. Made it only 5 bucks more then this one, and that one I believe lets you snap the USB receiver into the bottom of the mouse when traveling. Mine just comes with a pouch for the mouse and accessories.

Thanks for the recommendations. I went ahead and purchased the MS mouse since it looked like the better of the two mouses. Best of all I feel like I got a good price (just a nudge over $50).
