    I've looked through Logitech's selection and didn't see anything I really liked. Curious as to what you guys like and or use.

    The problem is, there isn't much of a selection. There's the logitech V270, the Microsoft 8000, a targus one, the mighty mouse, and a few more from small/independent manufacturers.

    I'm using a Rocketfish BT optical scroll mouse that comes with a BT dongle from Best Buy. It's the best $19.99 I ever spent. (when it was on sale)

    Which one is that? The only rocketfish bluetooth mouse there is comes bundled with a keyboard and retails for much more than 20 bucks.

    Haven't looked into this much but the Targus one I'm getting looks okay - this site has a review on it:
    http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=2150

    Bit expensive and the circle logo section looks a bit weird but good overall, not sure if I would have got it though if it wasn't a free offer.

    I'm using the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000, and I'm quite satisfied with it. It works my HP's internal BT device. It will seem small if you have large hands though - the non-presenter version may be a better option in which case.

    You can't just say Microsoft 8000 since there are 3 different BT models available, although one of them is not made specifically for notebooks but I really think it's a good choice for a DTR, the Laser Mouse 8000.
    I think you've missed some models:

    We have this new one, with both BT & RF. USB reciever with 1 GB storage and mouse charger. It's absolutely the best thing on paper, but I dunno how well it actually works, and I'm not so sure about the design.
