    Can anyone recommend a mouse that has the very small dongle? I have a 2 year old who likes to grab the standard sized dongle :eek: I'd prefer something full-sized, my laptop sits in a stand in my family room 99% of the time. Thanks for any advice.

    If you are going to get a wireless keyboard look at the new logitech mouse. You will be able to pair up to six devices (logitech devices I believe) to one nano dongle.

    If you have a bluetooth notebook , get a bluetooth mouse and then their is nothing to grab at all and you dont loose a usb port.

    Although the answer to the question of "what is the best USB mouse" is subjective, I think I agree with Kinghong1970's suggestion of the Logitech MX Performance USB mouse. :)

    Thanks all :)

    Nano is definately too small for me, and no bluetooth. All I could find was the Nano and Verbatim mice - I don't know anything about the quality of the Verbatim mice. The Performance Mouse MX looks perfect - thanks.

    Forgot to ask - where'd you buy the Performance Mouse MX? Directly from Logitech? Or is there a better deal?

    Tim,
    If you haven't purchased that Performance Mouse yet from amazon..you can get it from Logitech.com for $74.99 + Free Ground Shipping!

    Here is the Link: This deal is dead...:(
    Logitech Performance Mouse MX at logitech.com

    You will need to apply this coupon code: for the 25% savings:
    bestbuy_us_7091

    **Best Buy is now your better option...***

    Or, you can get it at your local Best Buy for $79.99 (check for store pickup availability), but you pay Sales Tax: (you can have it shipped, you pay shipping & it's on backorder now)
    Linky for Best Buy

    Just some savings ideas for you! ;) :cool:

    Cin...

    Sorry to point this out. :eek: The price after applying the coupon is $74.99 + free ground shipping. :eek:

    I know that because I just ordered one yesterday. :D However, if any buyers want to donate that extra $5 to me, I'll gladly accept it anytime! :p Just kidding, of course. :)
