    I reckon the Microsoft Explorer Mouse would be good.
    Right now I have the mini version but i think its a bit small

    I'm using the full size Explorer right now. I really like it a lot, I only wish it were bluetooth.

    Pick a wireless laser mouse, not an optical mouse. Laser is more accurate. In terms of brands, I really like Logitech.

    The Logitech Anywhere MX mouse is pretty good. It has a nice small USB receiver too.

    I've always found that optical mice tend to track smoother and work on a greater variety of surfaces, while laser mice can be faster, but are more picky about what you use them on.

    The Blue Laser Technology found in the Microsoft Explorer Mice are the BEST I've ever used in terms of tracking and how many surfaces it will work on.

    Having VX Nano and Anywhere MX, they're great!
    Also have Orochi, but bluetooth mice tend to have ~1-2 second wake-up time from sleep

    edit: doh,, just read that notebook mice are too small for u :p

    I have been using Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Bluetooth for approximately 1.5 year ... In term of size, it is considered small and yet comfortable to hold on. With the package, you also will get a pouch for mobility purpose. :D Below are some of my babe pictures:
