    Hey Guys,

    I was thinking if any one of you have bought a bluetooth mouse for their tz90 or anyone have suggestions on which one to buy.

    I have the Bordeaux TZ90 and I also want the mouse to look aesthetically appealing.

    I am open to ideas or suggestions....

    I bought the Logitech v270 cordless optical for bluetooth notebook. [​IMG]. It's not particulary sexy but there is no additional USB dongle. It is lighter, more practical and I think that it consumes less (regarding the power consumption of the notebook) than one with a proprietary 2.4GHz solution. The color of mine is silver but I think it exists in black.

    I have the MS Notebook Mouse Presenter 8000. It's more expensive than the Logitech one, but I've used both and the MS one works much better... it connects faster and the extra buttons are nice as well.

    Are you using this mouse with the usb doggle or with the built in bluetooth adapter on the notebook? I have a FZ190 with built in bluetooth and the same mouse. The middle click (instant view/magnify feature) does not work using the built in bluetooth adapter. Do you experience this problem?

    Doesn't using bluetooth affect your 2.4g wireless connection?

    Hey pepito, good suggestion.... I guess I might opt for the logitech one.... Also, I have been pretty satisfied with Logitech products in the past..

    Also, son1, I am pretty sure bluetooth would not affect your wireless connection....

    I vote for the Logitech v270 too, it's a great mouse and works well with the TZ. First set of batteries lasted six weeks! :cool:

    I got the MS Notebook Mouse Presenter 8000 too, apart from a little jiggling with the drivers at first, it all works sweetly! I use the external BT dongle that came in the pack and was able to utilise the Widcomm BT stack ;) (taken over by Broadcom). I can now connect my Nokia BH-501 headset and N95 without any hiccups; all at the same time. :cool:

    Batteries supplied have lasted me ever since I got the mouse (June 14th 07) and still going strong.
    Extra buttons are a plus and the design is very appealing; not to mention the convenient hardcase it comes with. :yes:

    I've always thought that bluetooth doesn't runs on the 2.4GHz, just RF.

    I have the both the VX revolution for my laptop and the MX for my desktop. I also have the Logitech Z5500 with the wireless rear speakers running 2.4GHz. Whenever I turn it on the speakers, the MX is unusable, but the VX is no problem, very strange since ALL are on 2.4GHz.
