    Anyone have a recommendation for a good (or great!) portable bluetooth mouse for windows? I have the microsoft bluetooth notebook mouse 5000, but its right mouse button has died. Time to move onwards and upwards.

    Anyone ever use the newish touch mice? Some of these look interesting: Logitech - Choose your mouse

    Thanks!

    For bluetooth mice, Logitech only has the V470/Tablet Mouse (same mouse, two names). But no worries, it is good. Are you sure you need a bluetooth mouse and a regular wireless mouse won't suffice? The wireless adapters these days are tiny and can be left in a usb port and forgotten.

    thanks for the reply, Qing. I'd prefer BT, but if there's a much better mouse that needs the USB dongle, I'd be fine with it.

    Razer orochi has been my stalwart companion no matter how much I have abused it, it also has a cable for when you run out of power and uses the internal adapter so no dongle.

    Also worth picking up a couple of sets of really high capacity AA batteries with it and a charger that can cope with them.
