    Cordless mice for laptops?

    I need to get a external mouse for my laptop and I'd like it wireless. There don't seem to be a ton of bluetooth ones out there, but there are some. Most are USB and I think they'd have that massive USB dongle thing hanging off the side of my laptop which is a no-go for me. Anyone have any knowledge on a good wireless (possibly bluetooth, or tiny USB dongle) mice?

    Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000. Retails for $99, but I bought one a few months ago brand new for $25 on ebay. Uses one rechargeable AAA. Charges with a magnetic cable that connects from the base of the mouse to the end of the USB adapter on your laptop. It can be used three ways; wirelessly with the adapter, connected with the charging cable, or with bluetooth if your laptop has it built in.

    The adapter is also a 1 GB flash drive and it all comes with a little travel case.

        I had a Laser Logitech Cordless mouse and the USB dongle was small enough to fit into the bottom of the mouse itself for storage. It had good battery life and worked perfectly, unfortunatly its a bit small for my hands so they would cramp up at times from using it for an extended period of time.

          I'm done with wireless mice. The ones I've had (got them for free at my familys business) looked good enough, but they would lose their connection from time to time with the laptop, and it'd go long periods of time where I couldn't use it. The one I got now is made by arbinet.

            I have something similar to this and it works really well.

            If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                I primarily use the Logitech V470. Bluetooth. No USB ports needed! Get yourself rechargeable batteries and you're all set.
