looking for a mouse and a case

hey guys,
i require your help once more.
i just bought dell xps 1530 (havent got it yet, but suppose to get it soon)
and i am thinking of getting a mouse and a case.
im a student so ill probably carry some work in the bag.
for a student should i get a backpack or a messanger bag?
and which one do you recomend?
about the mouse i wanted to buy a Bluetooth mouse, is it a good idea?
im a left handed and i saw a lot of right handed mouse, ill love to hear your recomendation on a good mouse...
btw im at NY if i want to go to a store, where i can find a nice collection of bags and mouses?

 

For a carrying case, I recommend a backpack. It's easier just to sling it over one or both shoulders and carry on your back; you'll hardly fell the weight. You can also move more freely. My backpack is made by Targus, which is a big name in laptop bags, and works well for me.

As for a mouse, I'm also a lefty, but I've always used it with my right hand. There are many good mice that can be used with either hand, just try them out and pick one that feels right. I don't recommend a Bluetooth mouse. They're more expensive than just a simple USB optical mouse, and they run out of battery, and they're more bulky. But that's just a preference; the wireless ability of Bluetooth is nice. Logitech makes great mice, and so does Razer.

You can pick this stuff up at an electronic store, or Best Buy / Wal-Mart / Office Max / Radio Shack / Staples, etc.

 

I agree with Elkid about backpacks. It's soooo much better than a standard shoulder bag.

About mice - I'm using Logitech V400, very good mouse and suitable for left-handed as well as for right-handed. The battery life is also very impressive and you are not bound by wires - good for making presentations

 

Logitech VX Revolution

 

As long as you dont game bluetooth is alright if you game GO WIRED.

As for bag backpack is better.
