Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse - Why discontinue!?

Hi guys,

Just ordered my SZ-2VP this afternoon, can't wait to get hold of it! One accessory I'm definately in the market for is a bluetooth mouse, I don't like the idea of plugging and unplugging dongles all the time.

I currently have a wireless (RF) "Microsoft Explorer 2.0" and find it absolutely fantastic! Though perhaps not that common a choice, I use the thumb buttons to show/hide desktop and maximise windows which I now feel are indispensible.

This makes the Bluetooth explorer an obvious choice.. however it seems to be pretty much sold out/discontinued everywhere.... is this proof it was never any good?

Not wanting to start another argument about lag times, etc. with bluetooth mice - I don't do any major gaming so generally it's not an issue.


The other option I can see is the Radtech BT600, but I'm not hooked on the looks and generally had poor experience with 'unknown' brands in the past!

Remember, I'm in the UK guys!

Cheers, Ben

 

if you can, the kensington pilotmouse mini bluetooth or whatnot is great. My friend has one.

 

But only twin button I believe?

 

yeah its a simple 3 button. left click, right click, middle click on the wheel.

 

Bah, not so great then... I've come to rely on the extra buttons!

 

I have Microsoft's bluetooth mouse and love it...it's too laggy for gaming of course but for regular computing it's great, and pretty accurate too. I got mine cheap on eBay...there's a reseller on there that sells them, I highly recommend them if I could just think of their eBay name...

 

I bought the bluetooth MX1000 - check ebay, they float through.


now I need to look for the diNovo keypad on it's own.
