    Hi,

    I am looking for a very small mouse, if possible can latch onto the laptop? I would need it to fit into the official CR case with the CR in it (which leaves practically NO space :( I remember reading something about a mouse that fits into your express card thing, is something like this possible to buy in a shop (Currys, PCWORLD, Micro Anvika etc)?

    Thanks!

    P.S. Any other accseories that you would reccomend for a 14.1 inch lappie?

    Jewp

    It won't fit in a slot, but the Sony Travel Mouse is quite slim. However, I have found that many of the smaller mice become uncomfortable to use for more than short periods of time. If you have a branch of Maplin nearby then they also have a selection of pointing devices such as this.

    I think you may be wondering about a clip-on trackball. I have one that is about 10 year old but it needs a PS/2 port! They are hard to find on the internet, so you would be lucky to find one in a shop.

    Otherwise look though the selection here. Cordless mice, such as the Logitech VX Nano don't have extra cables but they tend to be a bit bigger because of needing space for a battery or two.

    Other accessories?: I don't know what you need. Sleeve? Phone charger, External HDD? A selection of USB flash drives? Memory card reader (if not built in)?. Spare PSU so that, if you are commuting between two locations, you don't need to carry the PSU (as a minimum, get a spare mains cable since the UK mains plug is an awkwardcshape to pack).

    The VX Nano is about 100mm x 63mm x 30mm. The receiver store inside the mouse.
