I have a $70 i need to spend at dell and am looking for some wireless mice.

I have a 9300 with bluetooth and my wife has a m1330 with it as well. I would like a mouse for while i am traveling and can just keep in my bag as i have a nice gaming mouse at home.

First question, if i got 2 of the same mice, would there be a conflict or does each have some type of ID.

The two mice i am looking at are th following ones. Any first hand reviews?

I use a BT mouse but its the microsoft presenter 8000 mouse and it works like a charm, so i'd assume that dell one probably works just as well.

Yes each mouse has it's own ID. Also I'm sure aware of the lag or startup issues with BT mice and their power saving mode. Same with BT keyboards.

If you let your mouse or KB sit unused for a time they power down. When you touch a key or move the mouse they don't work right away. It takes a couple of seconds for them to power back up. USB KB and mice don't do that.

oh... well my bt mouse does do that, but its as easy as switching it off and then back on... and my sister uses a wireless mouse that does the same thing.. (they run on batteries so they shut off to conserve power after a certain amount of time of inactivity)

Haven't liked any of the BT mice I've tried...2 bluetake...1 logitech.....I find them very laggy.

I like normal dongle type wireless mice better,even though its a pain with the dongle hanging out of a usb port.

Use a logitech G7 mainly which doesn't have a sleep mode at all,so no probs there,but very low battery life as a consequence.

I check out the links and bought the VX Nano. Very happy with it and the small USB dongle.
