    I'm looking for a mouse for my new laptop. Although, it will be used with a notebook, I'm not into notebook-size mice. I prefer a regular size mouse. Also I'm looking for it to be cordless, and bluetooth.

    Also, I want it to be rechargeable.

    Price Range from $10-$100.

    Why, the Logitech MX1000! There's a bluetooth version, I'm not 100% certain if the model number is the same, but I think it is. It's a nice larger mouse, very comfortable, and with 10 buttons that can be programmed. It's hugely useful having buttons bound to Alt+F4 and Ctrl+F4 (IMO, you can set them up however you like), in addition to forward/back, omni scroll, and page-up/page-down.

    I should add that I have two of these mice -- one with my gaming rig and one at work. It's just that awesome it's worth having 2 of.

    Well,my targus wireless rechargeable mouse is pretty good. You can use it wirelessly and when the battery runs out you can charge it and use it wired at the same time. I think I paid about $22 or so at Office Depot.

    I'm going to point you back to the MX1000, there is for sure a bluetooth version (maybe its only available bluetooth in a desktop), but the mouse is absolutely fantastic, as are the never MX and VX Revolution mice. The new ones aren't bluetooth, but they are still very nice. Regardless, I would recommend Logitech.

    Yeah, I'm either going to go with Micorsoft or Logitech. Probably Logitech, because I've used many of their mouses, for along time. They're durable.

    One drawback of the MX1000 is the non removable battery so if you run out, you have to put it back on the charge stand. If you are willing to forgo bluetooth, then the Logitech G7 is great as it has 2 battery packs and one is always charged in the stand while you use the other.

    Try the Logitech G7 cordless rechargeable gaming mouse. Also consider the Microsoft Wireless 8000 bluetooth mouse.

    I've got a Logitech V450 Laser Cordless Mouse, and i love it. not too expensive at all and gets teh job done. its pretty tough as well (been through a few tough situations). also, ive set up the tilt buttons as back/forward buttons so using web browsers is even easier. battery life is excellent, and it feels really good. only drawback is it is a little small, but it was designed as a notebook mouse.

    Logitech V450 is very affordable (slightly under $40) and comfortable to use.
