    A mouse for the netbook

    G'day!

    As I am typing right now, my right arm hurts from using the touchpad in an awkward position (in the process of waving my arms to impress the judges of a gymnasium competition /sarcasm :eek: lol).

    I bring this netbook around a fair bit, and like to get a mouse with it. Preferably a wireless one that is light but fits nicely to my palm. I have a Razer Imperator at home, but couldn't be bothered to wicker the wire up every morning and take it off from my Sager before heading off to work.


    With lights, ok!
    Weight = light, ok!
    Wired, maybe!
    Wireless, ok!
    Multi-buttons, not preferred!
    Price, not too high like the Razer or CoolerMaster or any other professional mouse.

    I hope it will be my last gymnasium stretch in the office as I look silly waving my arms 360 degrees almost hitting someone in the process. Will be buying this tomorrow, thanks!

    :)

    Bluetrack Technology will allow you to use the mouse on almost any surface. :)

    More info: Link

    Is similar to the Logitech Mice with Darkfield Technology capability.

    The last recommendation looks good! I'll buy that one today...the USB dongle seems to be small, which is perfect; don't like things sticking out from my netbook.

    Thanks again :)

    Yea I have the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 5000, and I love it. I agree about the dongle. Now I can just leave it in since it doesn't stick out like crazy.

    Cool! I have the MS Mobile Mouse 6000 : ) It's worked out quite well for me. Oh, the Receiver can store underneath the mouse, another plus! :D

    I believe you will enjoy it! ;)

    Same here as above, I have the MS Mobile Mouse 6000 :)

    I have the Logitech Nano which has worked well for over 2 years now. It is small, light and I never remove the USB thing from my machine. I also travel a lot. I believe there is a newer model of similar dimensions from Logitech (I wonder if the first of the links that Cin' posted is the newer model).
