Which wireless mouse

[robpiat]

Which compact wireless mouse would you guys recommend. I saw a deal on a MS bluetooth mouse, but it appears to be full size. I am looking for something to take on the road. my i9300 does not have internal BT so keep that in mind.

Check out our reviews on wireless notebook mice

In addition I have a Benq wireless notebook mouse right now that is pretty sweet.
Unfortunately we haven't reviewed any bluetooth mice, but will in the near future.
Hope this helps

Do you prefer the benq or the V500

That's a hard choice right there.
This is the Benq
What I like about the Benq is the scroll wheel mainly: it is VERY precise and comfy. Accuracy is okay, not bad for a wireless optical mouse. Also, if you click all 3 buttons together at once, it shuts off the mouse. If you leave it sit idle for like 10sec or something, it also deactivates and you just hit a button or the scroll wheel to turn back on.

The V500 is more comfortable to use. It is wider and angled upwards, whereas the Benq is pretty narrow and lays flat. You would have to have small hands to really be comfy w/the Benq; I have big hands and am barely okay with it after a week or two of use.
Also, the V500 is more accurate & precise. As you'll notice from the V500 review, it is much more suitable for applications where preciseness is necessary; like photoshop and stuf.
The V500 is definitely higher quality, but also higher price. The V500 retails for $80 and the Benq $30-$40. Find the best price of each and make your decision accordingly

What about Logitech's regular wireless notebook mouse plus? I just ordered that; I hope it's decent!

I have a regular logitech cordless mouse for notebooks, and imo it's the best mobile mouse out there. Unlike the Ben Q, Logitech v500, and MS notebook mouse, it is a decent size. I hate tiny notebook mice. This is a little smaller than a normal mouse, but not so much so that you get annoyed using it. You really could get away with this being your only mouse. Plus it has great responsiveness, takes a beating, has great battery life, and moves very smoothly.

-Good Luck

I assume both MogyBear and kenan921 are referring to the same mouse. It is a good one, my buddy has it and it works well. As I mentioned in my review of the V500, it is more of a technological novelty; something cool to have. It works well and the design is neat, but I see no reason to buy that over the logitech you guys have (unless you really want to be able to store the USB receiver in the base).

I have the v500. I don't use it anymore mostly b/c im lazy, but I would rate it highly.

I always found picking a mouse to be subjective, why don't you got to retail store and see how they feel in your hand. One mouse might be really comfortable for one person and not for you.

I think you really can't go wrong quality wise with big name brands.

Good point
