I'm searching for a (1) portable (2) bluetooth or nano receiver mouse that as a (3) clickable and notched scroll wheel button with (4) more than four buttons. They are all fairly common features, but I am having a heck of a time finding a mouse with all four.
The closest mouse I've found is the Logitech VX, but unfortunately it isn't bluetooth or have a small receiver. The VX Nano seems perfect, but it's scroll wheel isn't a button which is a super pain when you use the scroll wheel to drag/pan. A notched scroll wheel is a requirement to have some sort of precision over how you zoom in CAD/RHINO/3DsMax. Right now I'm using a Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 mouse for Notebooks, which has everything but only four buttons.
Does such a mouse exist? I would assume there would be a pretty big market among workstation users to a product like that.

Isn't there a specialist mouse for 3D applications?
(At least there was 6 years ago...)
Have you looked at Gaming mouses (or mice?)
Also: Bluetooth will drain the batter - my simple Sony Mouse lasts about 2-3 months on 2 AA batteries.... (bluetooth and to few buttons for you) -
Sure. I use Spacepilots and Spacenavigators. There's a notebook version of the latter, which isn't wireless. These are true 3-D mice.

You use it in conjunction with a mouse, or the touchpad.
Does a portable mouse good for 3D modelling exist?
