    I was wondering which bluetooth laptop mouse has the best reviews/ratings?

    I was hoping there was one that had rechargable batteries or some type of rechargable method. Are there any like that?

    And also my laptop already has bluetooth built in. Do you usually still need the bluetooth usb adapter that some of them come with?

    Aren't many on the market, so you should just wait a while, Both Logitech and Microsoft have new models coming out soon, check those out when they come out!

    Should be before Christmas

    After much of my own diliberation (yeah i know i spelled that one wrong, im working a 12 hour day on 3 hours of sleep)

    I am choosing the Microsoft intellimouse 2.0 for Bluetooth.. here are my reasons:

    1) the most comfortable mouse ive ever used
    2) Long battery life
    3) can work with internal bluetooth on my Dell i6000d
    4) its a nice dark blue color :)
    5) because the v270 i was going to buy is too small (IE its "notebook sized" which is WAY TO SMALL LOGITECH), i wanted a regular sized mouse to take with me along with my notebook.



    Seriously i dont know why manufacturers think that anything that goes along with a notebook, especially mice have to be small in size.. I like my mice big heavy, and cool looking so it gets stolen quickly :p

    I agree with Delvien. I have the same mouse and I love it. I didn't want a "notebook-sized" mouse because I have larger hands and fingers and needed something that wouldn't cause me to cramp up. It still fits nicely in my backpack!

    I got it cheap on eBay...around $30 or so with $7 shipping. Give it a look!

    I prefer the MSFT mouse as well, but mostly because it doesn't require a huge charging cradle like the Logi does.
