    I want to get a Bluetooth Mouse with the foward/backward web buttons for my dell inspiron 1420...i have built in bluetooth therefore i don't need any adapters and I WANT to use the built in bluetooth....i looked at the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth and it seems to fit my needs as it has the foward/backward buttons...

    Does anyone have that mouse and like it? Will it work with my built in bluetooth opposed to the USB adapter it comes with?

    Any other options?

    Thanks, Nick

    i have the v270 by logitech i does not have foreward and back buttons but it is a perfect size( for me) between full size and mini. it connects easily to my 1520 and i have been very happy with it.

    You can map horizontal scrolling which is mostly useless on the wheel to back/forward.

    As i remember you may use the V470 scroll wheel (like on other logitech mouse) to the left for bach and to the right for forward.
