    I want a good notebook mouse that is also good when used in playing games. Mainly FPS. I don't mind whether it's cordless or not. I also don't want it to be a huge mouse nor a small one. I currently have been using the MX518 and find it to be a bit too large for my liking. I'm looking for something a bit smaller. Have been interested in the VX Revolution. Curious if anyone has any feedback on that.

    do you want one designed for gaming like a razer or one designed for laptop use?

    Well, that's a tough question. I want a comfortable mouse that works well for gaming. Doesn't necessarily have to be designed for gaming. I most concerned about size.

    Yeah. I'm looking at that right now. I'm think I'm going to go down and take a look down at my local Circuit City.

    I have a G5 and it's working pretty nicely...

    But then again, a G5 is pretty much the same size as an MX518 isn't it?

    Yeah. I went checked out the DeathAdder. Not bad. I also took a look at the VX Revolution. I really like the VX. Mainly because of the wireless part and the comfortable fit/size. I realize it's not the ultimate gaming mouse, but I think it would be okay for some casual gaming. Now I just need to find a good retailer, with a good price.

    just looking at the size of the receiver.

    Yeah. The MX518 is a great, comfortable mouse. I just found it a bit too big for my use with the laptop and all.

    Also, the nano is smaller than I'm looking for. The VX Revolution I find to be a great medium sized mouse. :)
