| Bluetooth Mouse I currently have both a tablet & a Netbook with Bluetooth. However, my hands are big enough that I find most of the Bluetooth mice uncomfortable to use. Are there any full-size Bluetooth mice available? |

| Re: Bluetooth Mouse There are a number of full sized bt mice... I have one from microsoft that is the same size as all of their other "standard" mice. Pretty sure that logitech sells some as well and many companies such as dell vend the same hardware with their name on it. Might also take a look at http://mogostore.com/ as they have some interesting mice that ride and charge in the pcmcia slot but are large enough to fit large hands. Beverly Howard |

Really valid recommendation! One of the main advantages is that they can be stored inside the computer and there is no "extra" to forget when leaving the house or loose it when on the road. Immediately after its appearance I bought the "classical" PCMCIA MoGo mouse (also branded as "HP Card mouse) and later I got the "MoGo Presenter Mouse X54T" which I use for the screenshows in my lectures. Fantastic device. Only disadvantage: My good old HP tc1100 does gave a PCMCIA card slot and I did not yet find an adapter for PCMCIA to X54 {siiigh} so that I can not store it inside the computer and need a loading cable :-( Rainald |

| Re: Bluetooth Mouse Looks like the one I have (Microsoft Bluetooth Wireless Intellimouse Explorer) may have been discontinued, but it's shown at http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Blue.../dp/B00006LHSL and http://www.microsoft.com/products/in...60f67&type=ovr ....the prices for "used" and "refurb" seem to indicate they are beloved. This one; http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mo...s.aspx?pid=013 ....is not much smaller but much less expensive. (4") Beverly Howard |

| Re: Bluetooth Mouse Beverly - You're right, *expensive*. ;-) I forgot to mention earlier that I'm left-handed, so I need one that can be used ambidextrously. Unfortunately, I have some *feeling* problems with my hands, so, I also need one at least 5" in length. My favorite wireless was the Logitech Cordless Click; however, I don't really like the wireless dongle sticking out when I need to move around. I've actually gotten pretty good at using the wireless mouse on my shirt or leg. :-) Larry "Beverly Howard" <Bev@NoSpamBevHoward.com> wrote in message news:e47RoNZWKHA.3720@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Looks like the one I have (Microsoft Bluetooth Wireless Intellimouse > Explorer) may have been discontinued, but it's shown at > http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Blue.../dp/B00006LHSL > and > http://www.microsoft.com/products/in...60f67&type=ovr > > ...the prices for "used" and "refurb" seem to indicate they are beloved. > > This one; > > http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mo...s.aspx?pid=013 > > ...is not much smaller but much less expensive.

| Re: Bluetooth Mouse I can recommend the MS Laser Mouse 8000. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mo...s.aspx?pid=084 Yea, expensive, but rechargeable, and ambidexterous.
