    In theory, all BT peripherals (e.g., mice) should be compatible with the built-in BT adapter. My Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5000 Laser keyboard+mouse combo works great with the built-in adapter. Hope this helps!

    If you want something that is portable...I am quite happy with the Dell Travel Bluetooth Mouse, that I ordered from Dell with my M1330...it was only $30 with my laptop, it has forward/back buttons, a scroll wheel that works both for vertical and horizontal scrolling....and connects perfectly to my laptop.

    Best of all, it's EXTREMELY small...but formed in such a way that it's easy to handle, and I have big hands.

    I read reviews that the Dell Travel Bluetooth Mouse suffered from problems like disconnections or switching into a sleep mode to often. Have you had any of those problems? I thought about picking one up, but avoided it because of the reviews.

    I've only had it for a week....but i've had no problems to speak of as of yet. It's very ergonomic, and it matches my black m1330 perfectly....

    As long as the hardware switch on the bottom is turned on, it connects immediately to my laptop and beings working when i turn it on.

    Another Bluetooth mouse that I've heard of is the Logitech V470. You may want to look into that too.
