Whats a good bluetooth mouse

I have had a dell m1530 since march and been using a normal mx300 logitech optical mouse and i love the mouse but i would like to shed the wire and get a bluetooth mouse.

Whats the best bluetooth mouse i can get? i only really need 2 buttons and a scroll wheel. If they make a full size mouse that would be nice otherwise i can deal with a smaller one.

 

I use both the Microsoft bluetooth mouse (full size that came with the bluetooth keyboard) and the Logitech travel mouse. Both are decent mice, connect quickly, and get the job done. I personally prefer the MS mouse due to the ergonomics.

 

I recommend the Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse...

Hey DJ:

You have several choices in a BT Mouse for your 1530. I have the 1530 and I, of course...recommend the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000!
It's compact, reliable, durable.. and scrolls very fast, batt' life is good (for me)
(Yeah, to the others..I'm pimpin my mouse again)

Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 - $34.99
http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Bluetooth-Notebook-Mouse-Windows/dp/B000TG4BA0
or,
Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue) - $41.24

I know you said BT..but I'm gonna throw in the VX Nano, it's wireless and uses a receiver (so tiny) ..but it's a really great mouse!

Logitech V470 is very Good looking, precision infrared laser, generic Bluetooth device compatibility and it costs in ur range - 29$

 

its BLUE !!!!. y didnt they make it black?

 

I have a BT targus mouse (amb03us) for sale.

 

thanks for the suggestions the V470 looks to be a good mouse but the color is UGLY i might just go with the microsoft mouse.

 

The...Microsoft Bluetooth Wireless 5000?


It's a great choice! :yes:
I'm using mine right now sitting in my lounge chair!

Cin

 

Does microsoft actually have software support for the 5000 now? Read the reviews on this mouse and a common complaint when this mouse came out was that there was no software support at all, you were not able to remap the buttons from the sounds of it.

 

yeah that one. and about remapping the buttons i really dont need that i dont do anything special that i need to remap the buttons. THanks for your guys help

 

Glad this is the one your getting!
It will work great for you..no worries

Keep us posted once you receive it, are using it..and how it's just working out!

I never got around to buying that mouse yet however i think i am going to buy one this week.

between the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 & a used Logitech V270 Cordless Optical Bluetooth Mouse

anyone know if either of these are about the same size as a normal mouse? like a say Logitech MX300? or are they smaller? i would like to find a logitech or microsoft mouse that is almost the same size as a normal mouse. I have only used normal mice and i think a smaller one might get annoying

 

Have you seen the sizes of the new wireless usb recievers? I have both the V450 and the V470 and I much prefer the wireless over the bluetooth. Besides, it looks much better.

 

it does look better, however i dont really want dongles poking out of my laptop

 

You wont even notice it. I dont have to remove it when putting the comp in a sleeve. Also, it saves you battery life.

 

Ha...Your not a Procrastinator are you??? lol.

I think the MS 5000 & the V270 are about the same size And, it's still priced at $34 at amazon.com, as well as the V270 is $37.95

Cin

 

so they are both smaller than a normal mouse? i suppose there is no normal sized bluetooth mouse, only smaller ones?

yeah i saw they were cheaper on amazon i just dont know if i can get down on a smaller mouse.

 

do you have a pic of it connected to your laptop? curious to see what it looks like plugged in.

 

Theres the Kensington Slimblade:

thanks but that thing looks hideous lol. i guess im between the microsoft 5000 and the mini usb one from above i suppose lol .

 

Yeah, it is kind of!~

You know I just got a Dell Cherry Red Bluetooth Mouse for my 1530 and my Mini 9 Netbook..it's a great BT Mouse!

I'm looking at it next to the MS BT 5000, and it is a bit larger. Have you considered a Dell BT Mouse? The setup was easy, and I really like it!

That's a nice amount of cash for that! lol.

Cin.

 

looks like a bar of soap

 

Yeah, and not only does it come in a silvery lookin bar of soap..it comes in a plum one also!

The Plum one is fairly cheap, too.

The missus uses a Microsoft BT 5000 mouse on her E6400, and I use a Microsoft BT Presenter 8000 on my M4400.
Both have good ergonomics, and are flawless in operation; also, I was able to remap the buttons of the BT 5000 by browsing to the IntelliPoint folder & selecting the Dual Mouse Optical driver.

 

This one recharges from your usb port:

I have this BT mouse for about 1 month now.I'm very satisfied with its performance and battery life.It works in all kinds of surface.

can someone tell me how a bluetooth mouse works. when i use my nano mouse, all I have to do is turn the mouse on. it immediatly works without any setup. it cant get much easier then simply turning it on. now with bluetooth every time I want to use the mouse do I have to go through adding a bluetooth device and such or is it like the nano and you turn it on and it simply works.

 

With the BT mouse all u have to is:
- Control panel/select bluetooth devices
- Click add
- Check "my device is set up and ready to be found" then click "next"
- Press and hold the connect or pairing button until the optical sensor flashes
- Under "peripherals" select "mouse then click next
- Select "don't use a passkey" then click next
- Windows will start to connect your mouse automatically
- Press "finish" after the connection process is complete
* Once the connection between mouse/computer is established,the connection will re-establish automatically when Windows runs.
// Do not press the pairing button once the mouse has been paired,otherwise connection will be lost and pairing process will need to be repeated.

 

thanks zim!
