Spec me a bluetooth mouse

Ol!ver · 3 Dec 2008 at 19:09

As title, after a bluetooth mouse so I don't need to mess around with USB dongles. Preferably not a silly notebook mouse either.

Any recommendations ?

Up until a week ago I would have said get anything other than the Might Mouse. However, I've spent the last week using it and I've actually grown to quite like it.

Just a thought.

It does seem to get a slating, but I had a five minute play with one a few weeks back and didn't mind it at all !

I'd recommend a Logitech V470. Works for me.

Doesn't that need a USB dongle ?

I'll be using it as my main machine, so really looking for a full sized mouse.

Yep. Sets up in the blink of an eye. Worth the extra(comparatively) money.

It's a shame Logitech don't do more Bluetooth mice. There is a Bluetooth version of the MX Revolution, but it's only ever sold as part of the MX5500 keyboard and mouse set, not on its own.

this.

No side buttons. Left and right with a central scroll wheel.

On/off button and connect button on bottom.

How much fiddling? Which one, there's the 8000 and the Presenter 8000. (or are they the same thing?)

Also you can push/click the scroll button left and right on pages.

Is there a white Bluetooth keyboard that goes with this? Even if it isn't Logitech as the Apple Bluetooth keyboard whilst awesome looking is far too expensive.

RoleyBirkin · 5 Dec 2008 at 11:58

Not sure in their current line up

They have a slim, bluetooth keyboard in black. Extremely expensive though.

I've the Apple bluetooth unit personally.
