Travel Technology - Portable Bluetooth Mouse with Nav Buttons?View Full Version : Portable Bluetooth Mouse with Nav Buttons? PorkRind Jul 31, 06, 6:11 pm I've been googling like mad, but I haven't been able to find a Bluetooth travel mouse that has browser navigation buttons like the MS IntelliMouse Explorer. Anyone here come across one? Two buttons and a scroll wheel just doesn't cut it anymore . . . Thanks! ScottC Jul 31, 06, 6:15 pm Portable, Bluetooth AND navigation buttons... That'll be hard to find... Is a regular mouse really that much bigger? I just don't know of any that have more than scroll and 2 buttons...

I just don't know of any that have more than scroll and 2 buttons... Guess I can dream . . . I've currently got a USB IntelliMouse Explorer that I drag around with me, but I sometimes wind up working in some cramped areas (multiple PCs and/or displays, laptop, conventional keyboard/mouse), and the cord gets in the way. But I'd still like something that has at least the functionality of my current mouse. Microsoft's BT mouse has the functionality, but I'd like it to be a bit smaller. There's a comparable Logitech, but it seems less suitable for travel because of its charging base. Someone will come up with one someday . . . PorkRind Oct 21, 06, 10:06 am After much searching and no satisfaction on the Bluetooth front, I finally decided to consider other wireless mouse possibilities, and boy, I'm glad I did. Although it's not quite as compact as I'd like, the Logitech VX Revolution Notebook Mouse (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2146,CONTENTID=12140) is freakin' AWESOME. Comfortable, versatile (forward/back buttons, tilt scroll wheel that has a "free spin" setting, zoom slider, search button), long battery life and not entirely unattractive, this mouse is a real winner. It's a bit pricey at US$80 MSRP, but you can find it for 10-20% less on-line. My Intellimouse gets put out to pasture on the office desktop at home :D dismal_scientist Oct 23, 06, 3:39 am + 1 vote for the Logitech VX Revolution Notebook Mouse I love it. ^ ScottC Oct 24, 06, 11:03 am After much searching and no satisfaction on the Bluetooth front, I finally decided to consider other wireless mouse possibilities, and boy, I'm glad I did.

I simply gave up waiting. If Logitech ever comes out with a BT version of the VX Revolution, though, I'm sure I can find a home for this one :D |
