    Can anyone recommend a Bluetooth mouse?

    Seeing as the Apple Macbook only has 2 USB ports, I have developed the urge for a wireless Bluetooth notebook mouse.
    The only ones I could find were the Logitech V270, which looks horrendous; the Trust MI-5300M, which is known for its awful battery life; and the Logitech MX900, which isn't exactly a notebook sized mouse.

    Therefore, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a small, good looking bluetooth mouse with a decent battery life (better than the 2 weeks the Trust one offers at least).

    I have the Kensington Pocket Bluetooth mouse which I like a lot. I would recommend rechargeable batteries so the life won't matter so much.

    Yes, I read your post.

    I love my Logitech V270.

    I noticed that there are 2 colours to the V270. The one I saw was the silver one, which in my opinion looked awful, but the blue one appears to be extremely rare. Then again, the silver one might actually look better with a mac than the blue one. What do you think?

    I think the silver one is fine and goes well with the colour of my notebook and probably with your mac too.

    The v270 maybe not be the best looking but its a very good mouse. The best feature about this BT mouse is the battery life... I don't worry about it at all. I estimate it would last me another 6 months+ without changing (been a few months already). No other BT mouse comes close to this.

    Take a look at the Microsoft Wireless Mouse 8000 and Wireless Presenter Mouse 8000. The presenter is notebook-sized. I have the regular sized one and it's great. It's also laser instead of optical so you can use it on pretty much any surface. Also, this mouse's bluetooth technology is great, and there is absolutely no delay. They say it's faster than a corded mouse, although I don't know how that would be possible. However, it definitely is atleast just as fast, which is as good as you would need!
