    I am having some trouble finding the right mouse for me. I really like the idea of a small receiver (like on this VX Nano) which only needs to be plugged in once, but all of the mice with nano receivers seem to be made for people with hands much smaller than mine (which is rather surprising as my hands aren't particularly large). I tried a few of them in a store and they don't feel comfortable at all. Does anyone know of a mouse the size and shape of an LX6, but the receiver from the Nano mice? It doesn't have to be Logitech, this is just the company I know best.

    For mice, I'm deciding between the Microsoft Wireless Mobile 6000 which can be bought here or the new Bluetooth Logitech m555b.

    I think the Mobile 6000 is about the size of a wired regular sized mouse but I'm not absolutely sure.

    If your looking at the Nano w/the receiver that is a good choice...And, Microsoft makes the new Microsoft Mobile Mouse 6000..I have it..and I love it.

    The Nano is going to have some mighty competition with the MS MMouse 6000 being on the market! :)

    I also have the new Logitech M555b...(bluetooth)...this is a great mouse also!

    They are nearly the same size. (I will finish my review on them this weekend. The camera I had, took crappy photos and I got fussy).

    You cannot go wrong with the MS Mobile Bouse 6000, trust..me..it's so smooth in your hand! :D And, it's quick..No software needed to install (even though provided, of course).

    Here are pictures of the two so you can see (tiny) size differential.

    MS Mobile Mouse 6000 on left, Logitech M555b on right! ;)

    and, with another BT Mouse of mine..:

    Thanks. I will take a look at all three -- the V450, MMWM 6000 (Microsoft really should come up with a shorter name) and M555b -- the next time I go to the store.

    The 450 Nano is too small for me too, but I like the small receiver for laptop use. My laptop has bluetooth so I'm considering a bluetooth mouse. If a person found a bluetooth mouse that they liked, you can buy tiny bluetooth receivers almost as small as the nano receiver.
