    Hey, so I just ordered a T61p and I need to purchase a webcam to Skype and a wireless mouse. Anyone have any recommendations? I'd prefer something portable and not too expensive.

    Just for general usage. I plan on playing some games like Starcraft 2, Spore, or WoW.

    For those who don't insist on Bluetooth, the VX Revolution and VX Nano are both well-liked around here... and you therefore get a great size selection! Check them out.

    The only wireless "gaming mouse" I can think of is the Logitech G7. Correct me if I'm wrong on the number... might be a G9, but I'm pretty sure it's G7. That will be more expensive though.

    You are correct, the wireless "gaming" mouse from Logitech is the G7. The G9 is their latest work and I use it on a day 2 days biases. I must say that it's the best mouse I've ever used overall. Although "wireless" and "gaming" in the same sentence is kind of an oxymoron. :laugh:

    I even wrote a review for my G9: :cool: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=3418288
