    Are there any good Bluetooth mini-mice out there?

    I don't need a full size mouse for my notebook, but i'd like something small and wireless for when i'm at a desk. Anything out there that's smaller than a full-size mouse, more like those mini-mice Targus makes?

    I haven't followed the market closely but I still use the old Targus one I reviewed some time ago. It was good at the time and I'm sure whatever they have out now is just as good.

    hmm where did my bluetooth mouse thread go... anyways, Compusa had it on sale for $10 AR. It was a Targus Rechargeable Bluetooth Laser Mouse Model # AMB03US. I bought it just in time. Unfortunately the deal expired today.

    I have a v270 and love it .. it's not really a super-small mouse, though. It's smaller than a normal mouse, but not by much. It's basic, but bullet-proof.

    I've got an Acme. It's pretty small but not tiny, will fit in your palm rather nicely. Operates on one AAA batery that lasts about 4 months. I'm pretty sure a rechargable would last longer. Nice little mouse, has the scroller wheel, good feel to it and has rubberized side grips. Silver and black, I like it.

    Thanks for the information.. i'll check out the Acme, Targus.. I haven't seen the Logitech V270 in person yet, but if it's smaller than a "normal" mouse, it might be good enough.. Because I really like the quality of Logitech mice.

    I bought the Targus Laser Bluetooth Rechargeable mouse and it's pretty horrible.. if you don't touch the mouse in 15 seconds it goes to sleep that fast. I haven't found any way to stop this from happening.. I also read that everybody else is having the same problem in all the reviews. There's a 2 second delay while it wakes back up.. I literally would stop to type a message in an IM chat window and then have to wait for my mouse to start moving again. I guess i'll have to end up with the Logitech V270.

    Back to CompUSSR with this thing.
