    I just bought a netbook. the msi wind u123. I hate touch pads lol. i was wondering what a good mouse would be. A small one since i need to to be extremly portable. It would be nice if the mouse could read off any surface.

    Looking for anyones opinion thanks!

    I've been using this:
    Amazon.com: Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX for PC and Mac: Electronics

    The few times I tried it on my glass coffee table it worked alright. Only problem is it goes through my rechargeables much quicker than my old mouse. I've switched to buying lithium batteries every few months..

    OP if you decide to go with the Anywhere MX, and get it from amazon with the above link that JohnPC posted. Here it is again. You can get it for some nice savings!
    Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX for PC and Mac

    Anyway, you can pay $59.99 upfront, but if you use this 10% Code at CheckOut: GXTPOFES, you will pay $53.99 Upfront, and then after the $20 Mail In Rebate, final cost will net you $33.99! :)

    Here is the Mail In Rebate Information/Form!!

    **Offer valid til 8/28/10

    Get the Logitech M305 Wireless Mouse ($17.99) or Logitech M310 Wireless Mouse ($19.99) at Office Depot. It's on sale right now at those prices (in store).

    Yeah, i got to choose between the Microsoft Mobile Mouse 6000, Microsoft Mobile Mouse 4000 and the Logitech M510... Quite an hard choice.

    Btw, I never used a wireless mice, only the corded ones, so there are some kind of delay between the movement and the image? I will play quite some games too, so it would be nice if someone could help me.

    Other thing, I did some research about Laser mice and the Bluetrack ones and the only difference is that Bluetrack can be used on more surfaces?
