    Bluetooth Mice are good, if you know which one to choose, I am not experienced with Laptop Wireless Mice, but Bluetooth Mice are definitely good.

    Everyone forms their own opinions...I have BT on my lappy & Netbook...So I take advantage of it..with no problems.

    So I like the MS BT 5000,

    The VX Nano is always a *forever win* especially here on the forum:
    Here is a good deal right now:

    A particularly good deal now is the Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 from Amazon, for $25 free shipping. I got mine a couple of days ago, and it's very nice - it is dual mode wireless (with a dongle) and Bluetooth (I'm using Bluetooth now), rechargeable, and is a laser mouse.

    Sounds like a quite good deal to me, $25 is cheap.

    Dongle?, that is a plus, in case that Bluetooth messes up, Rechargeable and being Laser are two big pluses as well, thanks for posting.

    What kind of mouse are you looking for? If gaming bluetooth is surely no good. If office use etc bluetooth works but why dont you give us a rough idea of what kinda mouse you are looking for, your needs, and your budget

    Logitech 450 Nano is a good one. After a lot of research I bought one for my wife and she likes it. Its receiver is real small so you can leave it plugged into your laptop all the time without any problems. The mouse have very good battery life. I have big hands though so it doesn't fit me very well.

    sorry i didnt specify, i wasnt sure it mattered anymore! i remember when i built my desktop and gaming mice and regular ones were different, but figured that had changed, guess not.

    as this intel X4500 isnt really good enough to play games on, i will just be using it for general office stuff and web surfing.

    reccs still the same? the mice seem so small!

    The Nano is a great mouse...you should look at that, and the discount I applied in my above post. Right now, most of the Logitech mice are rebated.

    Logitech Deal info: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=4954508#post4954508

    I have the MS BT 5000, a Dell BT Travel mouse, and the MoGo X54 BT Media Mouse..they are all great, in my own opinion! ;)

    They are specifically laptop mice.....take on the go sometimes.... I take mine everywhere and use it as my main mouse.... does the job well neverminding the size because it is still comfortable
