    Can anybody suggest or post links to any ergonomic bluetooth mouse that doesn't come with dongle? I am okay with keyboard and mouse bundle but would like them to work with my computer's bluetooth and do not want any kind of dongles. Your help is appreciated.

    You can buy one that comes with a dongle, and just not use it.

    They just provide it because most desktops dont have built in bluetooth, but you can use your built in one just fine.

    What nizzy said. I have (and so far like) Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5000 Laser. The MX 1000 BT mouse is part of this bundle, and it's quite nice. There seems to be a newer variant that comes with the MX Revolution BT mouse.

    Bluetooth mouse without BT dongle, the logitech v470 is relatively cheap

    I read a few reviews about the v470 and apparently it affects wireless connections in a bad way.

    hmm it does? I'm using it with my X61 while connected to a wireless network everyday at home, at work and at public places like starbucks, no problems? not a single dropped connection? My mobile phone works fine too?
