    I am on the hunt for a mouse. I was wondering if someone has experience with a wireless mouse with the following characteristics:

    1- rechargeable but not from a stand
    2- can be used while charging
    3- small, about the size of the logitech v220
    4 - optical or laser doesn't matter
    5 - if it has extra buttons is better
    6 - I can use it with both hands
    7 - I won't use it for games.

    I looked at the vx nano, I like it but no recharging options. I also looked at the G7 but it's too big. any ideas? the revolution seems also big. right now I just have the regular logitech 3-buttons usb optical, but I'd like it smaller than that.

    thanks

    You might want to check out Microsoft's Mobile Memory Mouse 8000.

    It's a rechargeable mouse that features a wireless USB receiver that doubles both as a 1GB flash thumb drive and a magnetic power port that, via the included thin charging cable, allows the mouse's rechargeable battery to be recharged *while* the mouse is in use as a mouse.

    There's no need to remove the mouse battery to recharge it and there's no need to wait for the battery to recharge before it can be used.

    Overall, it's a brilliant design.

    I saw that at officemax, the only thing is that for left hand use it's not that great. and I don't need that memory stick. it's an option.

    Personally I would just get a notebook mouse that runs on a regular batter and buy some enloop rechargables then no need to wait just have batteries always ready.
