    I'm looking to buy a nice new bluetooth mouse.

    It seems the Logitech V270 is very popular here and as a bluetooth mouse in general. However one problem is that it takes AA batteries, meaning they would need to be changed when the power runs out.

    Are there any bluetooth mice out on the market that are rechargable by usb?

    Thanks

    i almost bought that mouse, but ended up going with the v450 (non-bluetooth) and love it.... almost as much as my g7 for my desktop :)

    The bluetooth MoGo mouse lives inside a PCMCIA slot and recharges there when not being used.

    Wow, cool idea re MoGo mouse. However, I've got an express card slot.

    re a wireless mouse, I want to avoid having extra dongles, etc!

    Looks as if you're out of luck at present WRT the Mogo mouse, but according to this writeup the company has a PCexpress version in the works. Good luck.

    I've got the Logitech V270 and it runs for months on a pair of AA batteries. I use rechargeables.

    I got the logitech mx1000 bluetooth model that comes bundled in the mx5000 desktop, which alot of people hate, but works well for me.

    Thanks guys. Gone an ordered a V270. Only annoying thing was had to get the silver one (preferred the black one but it was more expensive and hard to get hold off!!)
