    I went to Best bUy to buy stuff for my P-6831FX but they had nothing interesting. I saw in the box there was a small catalogue advertizing batteries and a mouse. Are those the ones you guys are using? Thanks

    I am using Logitech mx1000 laser bluetooth mouse. It came with a bluetooth dongle and bt keyboard but don't need to use those. Works great. Also use occasionally BT motorola 500 headset I had for my cellphone. Works alright.

    Extra batteries and a BT mouse is all I am interested in. The mouse Best Buy had to sell was just really ugly...

    I have both VX nano and the MX5000 bluetooth keyboard/mouse. I can still use the BT dongle with any computer and use the keyboard and the mouse. VX nano worked ok for a week. But got tired of seeing the weenie little wireless dongle sticking out. Tested out the only the BT MX1000 mouse and worked out great. More easier to juse use the BT then with wireless dongle with VX nano. Of the two mouse, VX nano had better quality and feel. But in the end, BT wins.

    Except BT uses a lot more juice for both the lappy and the mouse ;)

    RF all the way for battery life...
