Bluetooth Mouse/Keyboard

I've been using the Logitech MX900 bluetooth mouse for a few years now, great mouse, no problems at all.
But now I'm thinking of upgrading to Windows 7 from XP and am currently searching to make sure drivers are available for all my hardware, and there doesn't seem to be any available for the MX900 that support the bluetooth, so it looks like I'll have to get a new mouse, I know I could just buy a bluetooth dongle for a few quid, but to be honest I like the set up I have and don't really want to change it unless I have too, and I like the widcomm software, most dongles I've seen use different software (I'm sure some use the widcomm, I'll look into it).
So does anyone know of a decent bluetooth mouse and keyboard set that is compatible with windows 7?
Thanks.

can't help on advising about a new set, but does the mouse do something special that requires special software? if not it will probably work just fine with Windows 7 anyway as it comes with a lot of generic drivers. or if a Vista version is available that will likely work. I've used several Vista drivers with my Windows 7 install due to lack of proper versions and there haven't been any problems so far.0

Stay with your current mouse, should be fine..1st get the WLAN and Ethernet network drivers just in case. Window 7 should get the rest for you (after a few Automatic Downloads)0

Sorry for the delay in replying, I couldn't fins the blooming thead.
I went a head and installed windows 7, mouse worked fine, detected the bluetooth as well, so thankfully no need for a new one.
Cheers for the replies.Sigless0
