Anyone have personal experience with any? I'd prefer a smaller one but i NEED more than two buttons. Even one with bind-able side-scroll would do.

It's not Bluetooth but would something like the Logitech VX Nano do? Four buttons (and scroll wheel) and a tiny, tiny wireless dongle.

THanks, but I want bluetooth becaseu my tablet only has two usb ports (though the dock has another four) and the BT 2.0 is intergrated. I did find a sweet tiny BT mouse that fits into PCI-MAwhatever slots, but i have none. Arg. Now i'm looking at an MS or Dell mouse, but the prices are a little steep... and I'm cheap. Maybe I'll jsut settle for a cheaper 3-buttoner.

Do you mean PCMCIA? :)

Also, what's 'steep' for you? I found a Logitech V470 BT mouse... £29 is a fairly good price for a BT mouse here.

US Amazon Logitech V470 ($37) This is the Blue version - the White one is about $10 more... :?

Microsoft alternative, $34

Not much help the US links if you're in Canada... :oops:

Ya.. that's the one.

Yes I've been eyeballing the V470 and the MS one more than the others. I now see the Logitech one has side-scrolll, which i assume I could bind to the other side buttons I'm used to.

I can get the V470 price-matched down to about 30 bucks, so i'll likely grab that one.

Actually, i've been looking at grabbing a Wii controller and building a sensor bar for it, since those use bluetooth. I've used one on an actual Wii and the response seemd pretty close to a mouse for gaming purposes.

I dunno, I'll figure it out. The mouse i have now i really starting to piss me off - just a cheapo HP optical.


Well after discovering the fact that the little cover on teh left side on my tablet was not for the HDD, but a freaking Expresscarfd slot. Yay for me, the Media Mouse X54 will fit and seems like it's perfet. A mouse that charges in -slot and also doubles as a remote. Has 4 buttons and a scroll area. And is about the same price as the others. Huzzah.

Now i just have to find a good place to order it from....
