Best light wieght Mouse to use without a mouse pad

[readers]

Hi guys,

I need a mouse for my travel laptop, I want a good mouse, small, but not too small, good tracking on all surface as the chance is I won't be bringing a mouse pad.

Please recommend me some.

Thanks.

A couple of years ago, I settled on a Logitech VX Nano. Still using it with my laptop. It is a solid performer. The transmit/receive module is small enough so I don't have to ever remove it from my laptop's rear USB port. But, it is no longer produced. The current M305 is the closest one currently on the market.

If you are looking to eliminate the mouse pad or worries about tracking surface, while being completely compact in working space and porability, may I recommend breaking the traditional mouse and going trackball?

My choice for a travel trackball would be Logitech M570. Light, but only applies to travel and carry, usage (being trackball) there is not a worry about weight to lift and move.

The ONLY drawback is getting accustomed to using the thumb in manipulating the ball for pointing. A good solid 2 weeks or so of daily computing usage should be a good period to acclimate.

Bonus? No wrist strain. And you can use the pointing device ANYWHERE. Even in your lap, to the side in a chair seat, on a chair arm rest... etc.

Great little mouse perfect for travel laptop. I picked mine up at Walmart I think for $10 or $15. Tracks good on all surfaces even my armchair when lounging and computing.
