    I need a wireless mouse but i need it to fit very very specific critera.

    I need the following

    It has to be compatable with XP and OSX. (Preferably known to have no issues in OSX and works well)
    It has to be a Full size mouse (no notebook mice)
    It has to be Wireless (Non bluetooth)
    It has to be 60$ or less
    The USB dongle Must be SMALL like really small (No flash drive size Dongles)
    Will consider all brands


    Thanks in advance =)

    Buy a VX Revolution, then purchase the VX Nano's receiver off Logitech for another $17, attempt to pair the two, and hope it works.

    USB dongle are usually big with 2.4GHz wireless mice. Small ones are only open to bluetooth mice. (Am I right? lol)

    No, you are wrong... case in point is the VX Nano, 2.4GHz wireless mouse.


    To the OP, I am going with the Logitech V450 Nano.

    The Nano receivers are great, i'm using a bluetooth one now but had the VX nano before that and loved the fact i could just leave the receiver in at all times, in bags etc.

    I haven't seen the Nano in person but it looks awfully small on the websites. Is it actually a full sized mouse?

    No the nano is not. They are just suggesting buying the nano's receiver separately to use with the larger MX revolution.

    Corrected.


    Well, the MX might work too, but the OP's budget would be somewhat strained.

    The nano's are nowhere close to desktop size mice, whereas the VX Revolution are almost similar to most of the standard wired desktop sized mice.
