    I've considered getting a wireless mouse ever since I got this Dell here, now that I've got my dv2 as well and have really started carting these around (on the patio outside, the bookstore etc), I've gotten a little more serious.

    One thing I've really wondered about though is the interference certain wireless mice have with some WiFi connections. What I'm wondering pretty much is how bad any supposed interference is and if there is a particular mouse/brand I should avoid?? (I'm not going to have to worry about any mouse preventing me from browsing the web?)

    My top 2 so far
    MX Revolution
    VX Nano


    (Bluetooth is out....as my Dell has it, but my dv2 does not--want something I can use with both)

    it shouldn't pose too much interference with your wifi...

    both mouse are on the 2.4 ghz band

    if you really want to increase your wifi range/quality, look at wireless N + 5ghz, though range might decrease due to the longer(or shorter?) wavelength of 5ghz
