    I have a dell M1530 with bluetooth. I don't need a gaming mouse. I don't really need any more than 3 buttons+ scroll wheel. I need a mouse that doesn't go to sleep really often, and is easy and quick to link up. I like the vx nano, but I'd rather not have to worry about a usb transmitter. Is there any bluetooth mouse that does all of that? Or is bluetooth just too much of a battery hog? Thanks

    Microsoft Notebook Mouse 5000 has no dongle, it's BT mouse and the one I'd get if/when I were to get the XPS m1530 :)

    edit: searching the forum a while back, there were several positive reviews for it!

    Another mouse that I'm a big fan of for its color selection and sweatproof finish is the Razer Pro|Click Mobile Bluetooth Mouse. If you look it up in Google you'll find the website to buy from. I have it in Naughty Black to go with my Asus G1S, but it's also available in Nice White, Sugar Pink and Spice Red.

    I really like the DELL BT Travel Mouse. 5 buttons, cheap, compact, great battery life.

    I like the Microsoft bluetooth mouse 5000 as well. I bought mine at Microcenter. They sell a OEM version of the mouse that has a nice color scheme. Its grey on black. Its cheaper than the retail version by about $20. It just comes with the mouse and batteries, no case or retail packaging. Here is a Pic of it:

    This is kinda a late response because of work, but I just got my M1530 and realized I have no mouse. Does anyone know how long the Microsoft one stays awake before it sleeps. It seemed like most bluetooth mouses went to sleep after ~10secs which is too short for me. Thanks for the responses.
