    I curently have a Logitech MX700 mouse and I recently purchased a laptop with built in bluetoth capability. I know Logitech has a laptop bluetooth mouse, but I really like the design of the MX700 (I think MX1000 is the same). Particularly, i am a fan of the side buttons that your thumb can click on. The charger on the MX1000 seems a bit bulky and I don't really need anything like it since I already have bluetooth capability. Is there an optical or laser bluetooth mouse that is similar to the MX700 and has side buttons? I heard microsoft makes one, but it doesn't have an on/off switch.

    I have the Microsoft one, and I'm still using batteries I put in it last September (almost a full year ago). I don't use it daily, but when I use it, I USE it. It may not have an on/off button, but it sure is good on battery conservation. Plus it's comfortable as ever. May want to give it a look!

    PS...you can get them cheap on eBay...I got mine for less than $40.
