    Hi,

    I'm looking for a preferrably small mouse that can pair with the built in bluetooth in a laptop. I also want forward and back buttons. Anyone have any good suggestions? I've heard some bluetooth mice can only pair with it's own usb reciever, which defeats the purpose of it being bluetooth so i am hesitant to buy anything.

    Thanks,
    Wai Jun

    It dont believe it has "forward and back buttons" but the logitech V270 is awesome. It is also about ten times more attractive than the targus.

    o boy, this flagged something ... ;)

    is the Microsoft Wireless Laser Presenter Mouse 8000 affected with this (possible) issue - cos I noticed it includes a bluetooth dongle in the package?

    The V270 definitely does not need the adapter either.
