    I'm buying a laptop, and I got it with Bluetooth to help keep the amount if wires down. But I need help fining a good Bluetooth mouse - most of them are the smaller-than-average sized mouse that cramp up your hand after a while, but I'm looking for a desktop sized one. I also want to spend the least amount of money possible. I found these 3 on Amazon, are they a normal desktop size?

    Dont forget about something like the V450 nano or VX nano from logitech, its not bluetooth but the reciver is so small it doesnt matter. I would personally use one over blue tooth as its a lot less of a hassle and works when not paired incase you ever have driver issues or something.

    edit: nevermind I though you were asking for a small one, all my links are for smaller mice.

    I know microsoft has a full sized bluetooth mouse that is targeted for presentations.

    Do you know the model number or something? I can't find it.

    I need Bluetooth. USB would take up one of the ports, and Bluetooth just seems so much nicer. The Logitech one you mentioned is nice, but as you said, the Bluetooth one is only available with the keyboard. I don't need a keyboard, and won't spend $160 for the combo.

    It seems like the only plausible one right now is the ASUS one I mentioned. I'm not a big fan of the glossyness though.
