    Hello everyone,
    I'm looking to purchase a cordless optical mouse that uses a USB dongle to plug into the pc. I don't want a mouse that has a wired cradle. It must also be a full sized mouse. Any recommendations would be appreciated.[8D]

    rths,
    I purchased from BestBuy "Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse" price
    $39.99 works with USB receiver. 2-AA battery included. In the package you will find installation CD but I did't use it. I just plug the receiver my zx5000 notebook and disabled my touch pad and Logitech started to work. Also you can go to Circuit City web page and read the other owners review.
    I hope this info will help.

    Along those same lines, I use the HP mouse sold through Radio Shack. Includes charging base, two NiMH batteries, and dongle. Full-sized mouse, scroll/middle button, very good. It's not too sensitive so it works just about anywhere (except reflective surfaces). No complaints...but I can try to think of one....OK...it was too expensive...$39.99 [ :D]
