Laptop Mouse

Josem

Hi,
I'm looking for a good wireless mouse to use with my laptop. It could be a mini one I don't really mind

Any ideas on the cheapest/best?

Hi,

I've just spent weeks finding the very same thing.

I looked for a mouse with the following:

Laser technology;
mini-USB receiver (not bulky desktop receiver with a mile of cable);
full-size, not mini/travel size;
ergonomic (preferably);
not required to recharge the batteries via a docking station/cradle (which means a mile of cabling, as it doubles as receiver, I discovered);
wheel allowing you to scroll left and right (a bonus);
and under £20 (preferably).

I realised, pretty early on, Microsoft and Logitech are the two main players, so I focused my attention on their mice:

I bought the right-handed version of this, which was £15 but has jumped in price:

These might be acceptable:

Big, "snap-in", 'mini' receiver: http://www.saverstore.com/productinfo/Product.aspx?catalog_name=Savastore&product_id=20011147&rstrat=12950
