    With only two USB ports, are you guys using a Bluetooth mouse, or using a receiver dongle? I recently picked up a Microsoft Arc Touch mouse, figuring the flat profile would fit in well with the Series 9 and wouldn't add any bulk to my sleeve for it. However, since I've got the S9 R1, the USB ports are of course underneath those little doors... and now that I've got the receiver plugged in, I'm constantly concerned that I'm either going to break off the door or I'm going to lose the receiver if I remove it every time!

    Bluetooth mouse would alleviate that problem but it doesn't look like there's any slim ones like the Arc, and I hear reports of Bluetooth mice lasting sometimes only a few days on a charge. I usually turn Bluetooth off on my S9, but it makes its way back on anyway when I toggle the wireless switch.

    Anyway, long story short, what have you found for your best solution to a wireless mouse with an S9?

    I use this BT mouse:
    eclipse touch mouse

    +Slim, lightweight, matches the overall design theme (brushed aluminum)
    -touch based scrolling is a little bit fiddly.
