Wireless mouse w/ internal wireless card

Question

Hi,  Just a quick question.  Are there any wireless devices that work with an internal wireless card, in my case I am looking for a wireless mouse/keyboard that would work with my dell 1370 card.  It just seems like that would be much better than having to carry around a usb adapter when there is allready a receiver in the computer.  I know I could check out all the manufacturer websites, but these forums are much more informative and useful.  Thanks for any info.   LDB

I don't think so.  Your wireless network adapter is a different type of peripheral than your mouse and keyboard.

You could consider a bluetooth wireless mouse provided your laptop has a bluetooth card.

Thanks for the info.  Bluetooth would be overkill for this thing though.  After all, I know I have a box with a couple of serial mice around here somewhere. LDB

Forgive me for laughing but on one hand you're asking about a wireless mouse and keyboard and on the other suggesting that Bluetooth is overkill because you still have a couple of serial mice hanging around somewhere.

Hey bacillus,

At least someone got the joke. Bluetooth would be a bit much for this computer. It's a refurb B130, a great computer for $470 list. I doubt theres a Bluetooth ExpressCard yet so I would still be stuck with an adapter. So a $10-20 wireless mouse is probably the best solution. That way I can save my money for a really important upgrade, like a new couch.

Have fun,

Now that new couch sounds like a good idea.   :smileyhappy:
