    Hey guys do you have any recommendations for a tiny laptop mouse? I'm looking for one like the size of roughly two usb flash drives. I'm talking smaller than logitech's nano mouse. I'm looking for something simple with two buttons and small enough to put in my pocket without being a hassle. Thanks in advance.

    Damn sorry, I forgot to mention I would like it to be wireless.

    Mastershroom: How long is the cable? Have you ever had any trouble extending or retracting it?

    Zimbros12: How small would you say it is? The picture really doesn't give much to scale.

    Thanks for the replys guys!

    The cable stretches to about 2 or 3 feet, I would guess. Good enough to use with a USB port on the same side of your laptop. The actual extension/retraction mechanism worked just fine. You pull out the cable as far as you want it, let go, and it locks in place. Pull it again and it unlocks, allowing you to retract it all the way.

    I don't have a tape measure right now but to have a rough idea use a credit card to compare >>

    Length > 1/8" inch smaller than the length of the card
    Width > 3/8" inch smaller than the width of the card
    Height > Middle of mouse hits the 5th digit of the card
