    I have looked at MS 4000 and Logitech Nano. I want a mouse which has a truly nano receiver, which is so small and unobtrustive I can just plug into the USB Port and forget it is there.
    Any ideas?
    I looked at Razer too but probably top much $.

    I use the Msft 4000 that I was able to get from Best Buy pricematching a $19.99 sale price advertised by OfficeMax. It has the Nano receiver and BlueTrack which works on every surface I have tried (glass, wood, carpet, my leg). The OfficeMax sale ended but amazon has it:

    Is there a similar mouse that have two buttons on left side for easier web browsing?
    For me im using MS X8 mouse which i bought on bay for 65$. The cons is the big receiver and the mouse is quite big itself.
    If the Razer Orochi is as big as Mamba or DA, I'll definitely buy it!

    My personal favorite is the Logitech 705M "Marathon Mouse". It is comfortable at least to me and it comes with a nano receiver. We will see if its 3 year battery life claim is legitimate.

    I'm looking for a mouse with the same parameters as the OP, and I almost bought the Marathon Mouse today. Does it lag at all when you move it after letting it idle?
