    Looking for a nice bluetooth mouse

    Hi everyone,

    I am looking for a nice (and not expensive) bluetooth / wireless mouse for everyday use (work, not gaming). I have checked online in a few review sites for the 'best bluetooth mouse' and these are the best that I found. Any suggestions on which one I should go for? Or is there any other bluetooth mouse that are better than the ones listed below?

    PS., I would prefer one that works without the transreceiver (like to have my USB ports free for other devices). Thanks in advance.

    Edit: I bought the Visenta and Tonor mice. Links here

    i bought 3 mice recently for really cheap.

    i wanted rechargeable mice though.

    I didnt buy this one im about to suggest to you, but i wish i had. it is around 50 dollars, it is similar to the microsoft arc but also rechargeable. i dont like using batteries that can run out

    http://www.amazon.com/Visenta-Bluet...keywords=rechargeable+bluetooth+folding+mouse

    im not positive why but it seems that bluetooth and lazer are not compatible.

    because the same model with lazer, is wireless but cheaper.

    ill also share a mouse i got that was a steal. but it is a wireless lazer mouse needing a dongle.

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...olp_refurbished?ie=UTF8&condition=refurbished

    for 14 dollars it is unbeatable. and yes i can notice the lazer tracking better but optical is just fine.

    Thank you @stamar

    I actually like your suggestions, particularly the first one. I didn't think about the rechargeable option and I'm glad you mentioned it. I will take a look at the mice you suggested.

    Meanwhile, any preferences from the list I had? :)

    i prefer the microsoft arc. except that it takes batteries

    i keep my mouse in the sleeve pouch with my laptop.

    so mine is the targus, but the switch to flat when in storage is very nice.

    or let me retract that. i like the microsoft arc touch. not the microsoft arc you have, the newer one the touch that bends.

    Alright thanks again for your suggestions. I'll check it out. This one had a transreceiver though.

    Nice :) It looked pretty nice and simple to use.

    PS., I really liked the Targus Ultralife Wireless Mouse and Presenter for Ultrabooks, but the need for a USB receiver put me off. May be I will check it out sometime later - does look cool and useful with the mouse transforming into a presenter!
