    I have the Logitech V 470 mouse and like it a lot. However, I have medium-sized hands and this mouse is considerably smaller than my Microsoft Natural Mouse. I would not consider it a "full-sized" mouse.

    Yeah I was going to mention the same thing. It doesnt appear to be a desktop-sized mouse.

    Over last 4 years I haven't found an inexpensive full size bluetooth mouse.

    I have used a Kensington Bluetooth Pilot Mouse for last 4 years it has worked fine but would go through 2 AA every 2 weeks. It would collect every little nasty thing in the rubber side pads. Recently it started to die. I have replaced with the Microsoft mouse below.

    My only problem is that the scroll wheel is smooth movement the is no click feel for every 16th turn. Beyond that it is perfect. Many people say you have to use the dongle but mine works fine with internal bluetooth on T61P.
    Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 $74.99 LINK

    FYI: Neither mouse has a passcode for Bluetooth connection so is you will have of same model 2 in proximity there can be problems.

    Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 or 7000. Big enough for desktop use.
