Rugged BT Mouse

Hi all, i need to buy a good BT mouse for my cf19. BT i think is a good solution to avoid to open the notebook usb slot.
My question is, is there a good "rugged" bt mouse ?
I bught a logitech m555b but i don't like it very much. (poor construction)

Thank you

 

While I haven't found a true "ruggedized" Bluetooth mouse, Logitech is the manufacturer of the OEM Dəll Bluetooth mouse (and keybioard) I use on my desktop.

Look into the Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Bluetooth®

 

I personally have the MOGO PCMCIA mouse. It works very well and it charges and hides away in the PCMCIA slot that is covered from the elements.

I think they make an express mogo mouse now that also has a laser pointer built in for presentations or to annoy your cats...

 

Mogo, really cool. this mouse have an usb connector or bt ?

edit:
found, BT mogo on ebay for 25 € very good. i will try this!

 

Bluetooth:

Newton MoGo Bluetooth Mouse

 

I use the Mogo too but I have the expresscard slot model.
Mine does not have a laser pointer though?

 

Newegg used to have them but they're all out of stock: Newegg.com - mogo

 

Lots of them on fleabay from $12.00 and up MoGo Bluetooth Mouse | eBay+

Which style do you have Rob ?

 

I have the one on the right. It used to last 6 hours and now it only lasts about 2 hours on a charge

It just rests in the PC card slot

 

If the USB port is recessed a little, like the CF-29s, I have a Logitech laser wireless mouse with the "nano" receiver which fits in the recessed USB port such that I can close the rubber flap. (Just use some electrical tape to make a pull tab, so you can pull it back out if necessary.) As for ruggedness, this mouse has been knocked in the floor at least a dozen times so hard that both batteries flew out (grandchildren) and still works fine. I think I've had this mouse for about 2 years or so.

 

I just got my MoGo PCMCIA Bluetooth mouse today and this thing is cool and you can close the PCMCIA door in all my toughbooks and it only cost $13.00 shipped

 

Blair! watch out on ebay. It will be copied by some lurker here that mostly there stuff/idea came from this forum and it will be added to there file of highway accessories, Lol.


ohlip

 

I'm using Microsoft Notebook Mouse 5000
20 bucks on ebay
When it dies - I will buy a new one, so it's immortal ))

 

That's the one I was using but I find it was very hard on batteries

 

Eats 2 AAA Duracell batteries per 2 month. I don't use it too often. If I do - I will just use accums

 

DAMN! I paid $70 for mine back in 2005.....

 

i have both mogo and i love it i have the pc card ver and the ex ver only used the pc card one and it works real well and it can hide under the skin of toughbook real +
hear are some pix of the mogo for those that can not make up thar mind ex is on the cf-30 pc is cf-29

 

Speaking of BT, has anyone put a combo BT/Wifi minipci in CF-28 to replace the modem?

 

We've bandied the idea about quite a bit; but the inexpensive nature of the Atheros MiniPCI cards and the fact that they just blow away anything else that was available at the time made it much more cost-effective to do that hack. Then we'd just add a bluetooth bug when we did the internal USB/Hub hack while we were doing the GPS hack.

sweet glad you mentioned this, gonna get it

i guess the cf 30 can use both models, so i may get both lol when the other dies i switch haha

 

That's what I just did , I just got another one off of fleabay for $9.99 shipped and it only took 3 days. Now I have both.

 

Been using the MS BT5000 as well and it takes a beating. God knows how many times I have been in a little "high speed" driving action going after our ever increasing law breakers and it's been thrown across the Tahoe like a bullet. The battery cover flies off sometimes but it has always worked like a champ. If there is a rugged one out there I would like to try it. They should make one with a rubber edge on it or something???

 

is the full size slot card version the cheapest you guys found at $25? i got the express 54 at $9 99

 

Express @ $9.99 shipped
Full size @ $12.00 shipped

I like the express 54 better

 

is this on ebay, im not finding the full for $12

 

Starting price now is $18.00 Wireless Mogo Mouse for laptop with USB dongle | eBay
This is the one I bought Bluetooth MoGo Mouse PC Card PCMCIA NEW | eBay

This happens all the time, sellers watch these forums and when there is some talk about something the prices go up.

 

lol well for them at least they are doing market research

i was lik for $12 great deal, $18 aint bad either considering they are around $80 elsewhere

 

apparently theres a few models or i could be blind

theres the the 54 and the full
but they have the flat versions as well as the imprinted versions on the buttons

 

OF the 19 of them on fleabay I only see 2 types. I have them both pictured

 

notice how theres the indentations for the left and mouse button, i thought i noticed some were totally flat or maybe it was the angle of the picture

anywho i got my 54 version and it looks cool, if only it didnt say HP on it it would match the cf 30 very well

 

HAY THAT PIC LOOKS LIKE MY OLD COUCH

 

It's my La*Z*Boy

 

got the x54 version looks great matches my 30 and looks great
