buying a bluetooth mouse

hey guys..
i had an apple wireless mighty mouse, til the scroll ball gave way and now its pretty much impossible to use n i need a new mouse...the thing is, ive been searching for a few days now, and ive found it very hard to find a bluetooth mouse...i thought logitech's mice would be all bluetooth, like the vx revolution n all...but i find that they have a usb receiver that needs to be attached....i have a laptop with just 2 USB ports which i sometimes need for work...i really need it to be bluetooth, and apart from the mighty mouse, the only one i saw in a store is the logitech v470...it seems alright, and cheaper..but it looks a bit boring so before i go in for that, any other suggestions? something not too expensive, and with bluetooth connectivity...btw, is the mx revolution bluetooth enabled? i cant afford that, but im curious...thanks guys

 

here are some options, take a look at Microsoft notebook mouse 5000 and 8000.

 

thank u...those look good options, thanks

 

and also..about the logitech v470....ive generally read good reviews on it....if all else fails and i dont find another, this is a good option, right? and wat about razer?

 

I just realized that you are from Singapore (after posting my first reply)... , in that case check out the Sim Lim Square price lists to find out what BT mice are available over there.

 

Hey there,

I have the Microsoft Wireless BT 5000! It's an awesome mouse, and has worked great for me. It's reliable, compact, moves well, and the battery life has been really nice!

Amazon has a pretty good deal on both the MS BT 5000 and 8000:

Hello,
The 3 bluetooth mice I was looking at were the Microsoft 5000 mouse(that Cin mentioned), Logitech V470 and the Lenovo Thinkpad mouse. I had the MS 5000 mouse. It worked and comes with a nice little mouse case but I didn't like it too much personally. I found that the mouse cursor/tracking was a little choppy in my opinion, wasn't too smooth. I have not used the V470. I have a Thinkpad and went for the the Thinkpad mouse, it is awesome!, but would be a little wierd look wise for your Sony. I would check out the V470 and see how you like it.

BTW - the MX revolution requires a USB receiver if you by it seperately but there is a bluetooh version with the keyboard combo MX 5000 from Logitech.

 

I like the 5000 also.

 

thanks, everyone..will check out the thinkpad mouse but im looking strongly at the v470 now...

The v470 is also a nice mouse, I think you would like it! I have a friend that uses that one!

Keep us posted!
