I am looking for a good quality bluetooth mouse to use with my netbook. I want a legit bluebooth mouse meaning I do not want to have to plug in a USB dongle to get it to connect.

So far I am looking at this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826116011 and this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826125059

My main issue is it must run on batteries so I can get a few months use out of it and it must be small. Went from a 10lb laptop with a corded mouse to a netbook that's 3lbs so the less weight the better also.

I will also ask around on some actual PC forums but figured some of you guys may have used one of these..

I have an older Iogear BT mouse, and it works pretty well. I've had it for a little over a year now. Batteries last about ~3 weeks or so, I use it about 15-20hrs/week. I have rechargable AAA in it, when they die I just plug the mouse in USB and it charges while I use it.

Loving it, ended up getting the 1000HE with 2GB for about $370 shipped second day so it worked out well. Surprisingly the keyboard is laid out quite well so typing on it has not been nearly as bad as I was expecting.

Thanks again for the suggestion.

Nice, I was hoping to have something like that where I can just charge it via the rechargeable battery in it instead of hacing to take it out and charge it each time.

Good thanks, I am alive and getting by still on pain meds but hope to be off them this week sometime fucking things have me living in la la land..

Then I have another surgery during the summer for my arm with rods, screws and a ton of hardware going in so that will be a much longer recovery. :(

I ended up getting a MS 5000 mouse which kicks fucking ass. However it was expensive @ $60 over at Staples so I am going to return it and get one of these off ebay.
