    I am looking for a rechargeable, wireless mouse for everyday use. Preferably rechargeable because I don't want to have to keep buying batteries. And wireless because I don't like having the cord. It doesn't seem like many companies offer mice like this anymore.

    Logitech has:

    MX Air
    MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse

    Microsoft has:

    Mobile Memory Mouse 8000
    Mobile Memory Mouse 8000

    Wireless Laser Mouse 7000
    Wireless Laser Mouse 7000

    Explorer Mouse
    Microsoft Explorer Mouse

    Wireless Laser Mouse 8000
    Wireless Laser Mouse 8000


    Are there any other older models I should be considering? Also, would you recommend bluetooth or some other receiver? I am using it for my laptop so it might be a bit annoying to have a usb receiver sticking out.

    Thanks!

    Maybe you can consider of Roccat Pyra Wireless? It comes with rechargable battery and you can simply plug it to your USB ports via an USB cable when you want to charge the battery while using it at the same time. Good deal?

    Anyway, I have ordered myself one and now waiting anxiously for its arrival. Hehehehe . . .

    I have ordered mine in Germany. Thus, I believe I will get it after 2-3 business days. Super excited now!

    How about Logitech VX Nano?
    It use 2 x AAA battery but I think the battery can be used around 2 - 3 months.
    Currently I'm using it, I used it around 1 months and the battery still 50%+

    Logitech MX950? Comes with rechargeable battery as well, with a cable to charge the mouse in case you need it. It uses the micro receiver so it won't stick out.
