    The dell bluetooth mouse what we will get from dell laptop or u can buy it via ebay.this mouse actual name is 5button bluetooth mouse.It is actually made by Logictech (but a logic tech bluetooth mouse will cost INR 2k+ you can buy a DELL BT mouse for 1.5K).The dell pack will comes with SW CD+Mouse+2 AA Duracell batter+manual.Its totally worth it.Dont install the dell software download new SetPoint software form Logic tech site so you can use all 7Buttons.The scroll button can be pressed to Left and Right.If any one has it just Try new set point its avilable for both 64 and 32bit. :cool:

    Side-scrolling is not generally considered a separate button. There are 5 buttons on that mouse; the left and right click buttons, the scroll wheel, and two thumb buttons. That's pretty much the standard definition of a 5-button mouse (sometimes there's one thumb button and one pinky button).

    physically, horizontal-scrolls are buttons.
    and logitech does count horizontal-scroll in their buttons count
    (+ in some mice the action can be changed --not only for scroll-- )

    My point the dell branded SET point is not providing this feature....and this is the cheap solution for Bluetooh mouse than going for a logictech one.
