    What is the best bluetooth mouse for the SXPS 16? I think both the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 and Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 look good but don't know much about them. Which would you recommend or is there a better one on the market? Thanks.

    Good question, as I would like to know too, since I plan to get one when my 1640 arrives in a month.

    Take a look at the Dell 5-button Bluetooth Travel Mouse. I've been using one for a few months, and it's fantastic. 5 buttons on a BT mouse is pretty rare, and a necessary feature for me. It also comes in different colors, and it's less than 30 bucks. Very comfortable in the hand, too.

    Yes I have the Dell bluetooth mouse too and it's very good. Just remember though that if you intend to game, bluetooth mice will lag like hell.

    Decided to go with the VX Nano b/c I heard a lot of bad things about bluetooth mice. The receiver on the Nano is actually so small that you can leave it in even when travelling and I usually don't need all 3 USB ports at the same time anyway.

    Like bboy said, don't plan on gaming.

    The best BT mouse so far I had is one that comes w/ diNovo set, which is rechargeable, but pricey.

    I think it's called MX™ 1000 Laser mouse for Bluetooth®
