wireless mouse? any good?

i have been looking for one for my laptop as well..

check out the Logitech Cordless Mouse for Laptops one.. it looks like it can do everything that you need it to do.. it is a small dongle thingy that hangs out of your usb port, but there is no wire.. check it out at logitech's main site.

I'm thinking about switching to this one.

I'm looking to purchase a wireless mouse to hopefully free up the clutter on my desk.  By free up the clutter I mean no wires at all, no ac adapters, no things coming out of my usb ports with little receivers on them........I'll deal with a little 1 inch long thing that plugs directly into my USB port and a mouse that uses like batteries or somethin......also it can't interfere with my wireless network (wireless B) and it has to work well.............anyone kno where I can find such a mouse?

I use the Targus Wireless Optical Notebook Mouse which has NO wires whatsoever. It's a bit smaller than a regular mouse, but it's great if you want to eliminate wires. Check it out at:

I have a Logitech wireless mouse and it works fine.  No complaints!

" no things coming out of my usb ports with little receivers on them"

i guess you should take a look at BlueTooth devices i.e. mouse

I am using the new Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse with the USB Xmitter/receiver (size of a Thumb-Drive).  The mouse is SUPERB and tracks beautifully.  I have used it as far as 5 feet from the computer without trouble.  Logitech quality is certainly involved here.  Ulike the poor performance and feel of the Kensington wireless mouse - this one is a solid 9.5 out of 10.  It would have a full 10 if it were not for the fear I always have of snapping the USB dongle off as it is plugged into the back of the notebook...  Also the Logitech has an on/off switch on the base - unlike the Kensington unit.  I have seen the Kensington wireless locally for $29 now - it would appear that they are trying to unload them.  I paid $39.95 for the Logitech at Best Buy.

 

you may want to check out the microsoft bluetooth mouse to use with your internal bluetooth card. Another would be the logitech mx900 which is bluetooth but it also uses rechargable batteries and has a charging dock. I have the logitech mx700 which is the same but standard rf wireless with the recharging dock. I had a microsoft wireless mouse, but i got mad at changing batteries every 2 or 3 weeks because even when my laptop was off the mouse was on. I threw that in the trash, the mx700 is the best i have ever used. I love the rechargable batteries, i use it all day, set it in the charger at night and never have to worry about having my batteries die. So you may consider the mx900 if you can stand a charging dock, if not the microsoft bluetooth mouse with its very poor battery life.

Yep i totally agree, i love my mx700,

I use the Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks.  The tracking is great and I love the fact that there is an On/Off switch on the underside of the mouse to conserve battery power.  The USB receiver is small.

I have to agree with Big-Foot: the Kensington pro wireless mouse is bad.  I have it; it tracks poorly and stutters.
