I am currently using the MS Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000,
which works perfectly under Windows (haven't gotten around
to installing Linux on my notebook), but is way too small
for my ginormous hands esp when I am using my notebook for
an extended period of time. I do agree that even a small
mouse is preferable to using the trackpad.

The Logitech VX Nano has a really tiny RF transceiver (hence
the Nano in its name) but the mouse itself isn't much bigger
than the one I am currently looking to replace. I spent over
an hour last night at a Best Buy and a FutureShop and I've
narrowed my choices down to either a Logitech MX620 or a
Logitech LX8. Both have transceivers that stick out from the
USB port but they stick out less that the length/height of
a Chapstick.

I would have preferred a full/desktop sized BT mouse that
didn't break the bank but I guess I'll have to make some
compromises myself!

Thanks.
