    I'm wanting to buy a wireless mouse that has a tiny usb receiver.
    I will use it for some gaming also.
    It doesn't need to be the best mouse out there either.
    I want to spend as little as possible too ;)

    Any models recommended?

    Thanks

    if your laptop has bluetooth, you could try the Razer Orochi, i bought it recently and i'm loving it. very responsive even while gaming but it may be a bit pricey. logitech do some good ones too. i'm sure other people here will have great suggestions.

    My current laptop does not have bluetooth. I wouldn't mind a mouse that had both USB and bluetooth though :)

    I would whole-heartedly recommend the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000 after receiving mine today.

    The mouse itself has a very solid ambidextrous design, with a tiny receiver that fits into the bottom of the mouse.
    As it is a BlueTrack mouse, it will track perfectly on almost any surface (except glass, even though it can *just* about manage it).

    This is my second BlueTrack mouse, and I have to say, I doubt I'll go back to anything other.

    MS Mobile 6000 is a very nice mouse..Have it.

    The Bluetrack Technology is an added bonus, besides the "nano" receiver, and it's very smooth to use, battery life is good...and feels great in your hand! :)

    The VX Nano is quite a good mouse. Although it may be a bit small. If you want something larger, with a still small receiver, then there's the Performance MX.

    The Microsoft Sidewinder is a GREAT choice. It looks awesome and the price is good.

    I think he means the Sidewinder X8, which is wireless.

    I bought a MS Wireless Mouse 4000 and I LOVE it. Plus it's got a blue LED tracking system instead of a clichè red laser.

    I love my logitech M-RBB93, I've used it for several years every day in many different locations. Battery life is amazing (I change them every 6 months at most?), switching it on and off is easy, pairing/connections are solid, the mousewheel is great.

    Just combine it with a cheap bluetooth adapter.
