I got bluetooth on my computer, and I want to know what would be the best mouse to get for it, so I dont have to deal with wires ect....

by best: battery life, and reaction (reaction is the most important)

I have had the Iogear Bluetooth MiniMouse for about 2 weeks now, and I love it. Battery is long, I haven't fully tested how long it will go, because if I am at home, I sometimes just use the cord to keep it charged, (oh yeah, it has a USB cord that you use to recharge it right on your computer) but I have gone for days without a single hiccup. As for reaction, I have heard some people complain about bluetooth mice in general, saying they lag a bit, but I have not noticed any lag at all. Sure, if you let it set for a couple minutes, it takes a second or two to realign, but in actual use, I have never experienced any lag. Of course, I don't play First Person Shooters, so maybe there is some lag with something that reaction sensitive, but I doubt it.

It first I thought it was a little small, as in narrow, but after a day or two I have become completely comfortable with it. I picked it up of Mwave.com for around 65 shipped, it arrived within 3 days (and that was with the cheapest shipping option, ground I believe).

So you can tell I obviously have some bias, but I love it. Works perfectly with my integrated laptop bluetooth.

Hope that helps.

My personal fav is MS Blutooth mouse. It is great for working with all day. Reaction time is good. My only objection is that it goes into a sleep mode. That is probably a the fault of the client that goes with my BT card, 'cause it didn't do it with the MS BT adapter. Battery life is excellent, except when I carry it in the backpack with a key depressed.

If you are looking at buying one, you can usually get one with a keyboard for $10 more.

Yes they have a scroll wheel. I have bought 2, one for the office and one for home. Got one refurb for $63 and the other new for $78+s&h. If you watch there seem to be discounts when they are trying to make 1/4 or 1/2 sales goals
