bluetooth mouse

Hello

I have a Vostro 1500 with bluetooth. Lately I am finding the touchpad to be a bit of a pain to use on certain things, and especially games like GTA San Andres.

I am currently using a old USB optical mouse, but the chord gets in the way.

I have looked into a Logitech VX Nano mouse, which is wireless, but not bluetooth. This seems ok, except that it uses up a USB port, and also, its around $79.

Does anyone have any ideas for either a bluetooth mouse, or a mouse / kb combo that I can use (would use the mouse only most of the times, but sometimes I use the keyboard when its plugged into my 22")

I should have bought the Dell bluetooth mouse when I got the lappy, but I hadnt used a touchpad for ages, so I forgot how annoying they were !

thanks

Ben

I bought a no name bluetooth mouse off ebay to use with my inspirion. I was a bit hesitant - but took the huge $35 (including shipping) gamble and have been pleasantly surprised. It worked straight away and I have been using it for the last 4 months or so.

do you have a link to the seller, or a name of the item so I can check it out on ebay ?

Thanks

i use the microsoft presenter mouse 8000 which comes with a carry case and has presenter buttons on the bottom!

great for anyone that does powerpoint presentations and it has a laser pointer

also the case makes it good to chuck in your bag and if your laptop has built in blutooth you can leave the blutooth adapter behind and use the buld in to keep all your usb ports free!

how much is the presenter mouse ?

I dont really need all those functions & the laser, so I would probally be paying for something I would never use !
