hi all

I had a notebook blue tooth mouse the Microsoft 5000, nice mouse, however, it has been playing up and spoke to microsoft who deemed it to be faulty and offered me a free replacement of any mouse I wanted from thier site.

this is where I have an issue, i looked at the mice and only 4 were bluetooth and none really initially got my attention, wondered if you have any recommendations (bearing in mind I would prefer it to be bluetooth)
Many thanks in advance

ah forgot to add, Microssoft could not replace my bluetooth 5000 mouse as apparently out of stock for 2-3 months!! (strange that, i can see it in stock in many uk internet shops!!)

then sell it, and get something cheaper that you actually like.

Get the most expensive, sell it, and order the one you want from somewhere else?
