    I've search high and low, can't seem to find one

    Have m11x, just arrived
    Need small portable mouse that has both wired and wireless options, but NOT bluetooth, I would rather use RF

    All I could find was the orochi, which is BT
    Mamba fits the bill but not portable friendly

    Anything else out there?

    There is the Logitech g700, it is a large mouse but it uses a tiny micro-receiver and can be used as a wired mouse.

    The Microsoft Sidewinder X8 has both wire and wireless built in. The receiver is a "drum" that houses the wire, should you require to attach the mouse instead of using the RF (it uses some proprietory MS frequency). It runs off of a rechargeable AA battery and can recharge when you wire it up from the receiver drum.

    I gave up on BT, and git a nice Logitech Anywhere MX mouse. It tracks great on most surfaces and uses the tiny Logitech RF USB thing.

    Also it's looks go well with the M11x. image

    No wires though

    I like that one but unfortunately I do a lot of traveling and airlines gave a fit if it is wireless
