    I'm looking for a small, Bluetooth joystick so I can game on the road.

    The reason I want bluetooth for the joystick over USB is because I don't want to wear out my USB port by constantly plugging the joystick in and out.

    That would cause excessive wear and tear on the notebook I think.

    Any ideas?

    I really don't think you'll find one, especially since BT is somewhat prone to buggy connections.

    You wouldn't wear out a USB port...they're designed to withstand thousands and thousands of inserts/removals.

    You're not going to wear out your USB port, beyond that i'd hope you have more than one.
