    Hi all,

    Having just bought a Sony Vaio Pro 13, I'm after a mouse that is relatively "normal sized" but has to be bluetooth to take advantage of the built-in bluetooth of the laptop and not use up the limited number of USB ports.

    I've always been a Microsoft snob when it comes to accessories such as keyboard/mouse and currently use the Laser 7000 series mouse at work and 6000 at home. Both really nice to to use.
    Had a quick look at the Wedge but it looks tiny. Anything else seems to be around this size.

    Thanks in advance

    Unfortunately there are not many options available for bluetooth mice. Most wireless mice in general are rather small though.

    I've run into this issue before. Honestly, you'd be better served with a Logitech Unifying Receiver, but if you must have Bluetooth, the only real choice is the Targus Comfort Mous:

    Thanks all,
    I ended up taking the plunge last week on a Microsoft mouse - It's the Bluetooth Notebook 5000 mouse. It is small but I am pleasantly surprised on how comfortable it is
    Also where the Sony mouse would disconnect constantly, this is not so pretty happy.

    If someone releases a normal sized mouse, I may change up but for now, this will be fine.
