    Can anyone recomend me a cheap bluetooth mouse to buy in UK?

    Im not looking for extra buttons and fancy features - i just want a mouse with a laser, right/left click and mouse wheel.

    good battery life would be nice too

    I have the Kensington Pocket Mouse. It works well. It goes for around $45 over here if that is inexpensive enough.

    I can't seem to find any bluetooth mice that don't come with the adaptors since the laptop im getting has integrated bluetooth.

    If i get a mouse with the USB bluetooth adaptor, could I just throw it away and use the integrated bluetooth?

    also Im not willing to pay more than £40 for a mouse

    I have the Logitech v270. It is designed to work with laptops with integrated bluetooth (it doesn't come with a dongle.)

    Works great, no noticable lag, perfect size for my needs. Good battery life. It cost me about $50. I don't know if it's available on your side of the pond or not.

    microsoft make poor laser mice in my opinion. Every single one I have used sometimes moves the curser in a direction without moving the mouse. This only happens rarely but still should not happen

    I'm also happy so far with the V270, for what it's worth.
