For mobile device peripherals...er...you know what I meant. ;) See the dongle for the Logitech VX Nano Cordless mouse? It's only going to produce an 8mm nub coming out of your mobile device and for UMPCs that are constantly watching their figure, that's an appetizing prospect."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/logitechnano1.jpg" /><br /><br />If you've got a laptop or UMPC, and you prefer to use a mouse, you know the dangers associated with that choice. Most USB receivers for wireless laptop mice are flimsy, and stick out pretty far, increasing the likelyhood of breakage. This will probably be my next laptop mouse, if for no reason other than the tiny receiver.

wow, that is a tiny sucker isn't it. You know I had a wireless KB a long time ago and hated it. Batteries dying, poor number of simultaneous key presses for gaming. The wireless mouse on my moms computer also had many battery life problems. Left a bad taste in my mouth for wireless controllers. Well my long treasured Logitech I-feel mouse (many years of forcefeedback love from games of tribes 2 and unreal 2003/4) finally broke its left switch, so a new mouse was in order. I didn't do to much research into a new one yet but when I browsed around cricuit cities selection, I was instantly in love with the LX7 (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/152&amp;cl=us,en). The glossy finish, simple curved (vs boxy or outright hand molds of the bigger mice) was sexy and the price was right too. So far battery life seems good, as well as sensitivity (though I do think it is a bit less sensetive then my I-feel was, but it shouldn't cause any problems).

I have Stowaway BT mouse that I bought for my PPCs and it works just nicely with my notebook.

But, lately I just use a small cheap USB mouse, it's just convenient not having to think about batteries.

Nice, looks like it might just be small enough to leave plugged in all the time.
