I think this Belkin Bluetooth Comfort mouse is a good contender to the Logitech M555b Bluetooth mouse I posted earlier. Unfortunately, Bluetooth technology puts everything at insane prices and this mouse will end up costing me $50 if I buy it.
Also, how come all of these press photos for computer mice always show a person using the item with their left hand? The majority of mice users are right-handed so having a left-handed person model the object always seemed weird to me.

I’m kind of sick of my notebook mouse because it’s not as comfortable as a regular-sized mouse. So I’m excited that Logitech finally made a regular-sized bluetooth mouse. I don’t know why it took them so long.

I just received my Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 in the mail today and I’m already very satisfied with it in every respect. It is compact, tiny, and comfortable — a combination of descriptions that I’m sure very few mice can lay claim to. This being a portable laptop mouse, it comes with a handy black neoprene carrying case so that you can throw the mouse into your bag without having to worry about it getting scratched up.
The mouse takes 2 AAA batteries, and with a battery indicator light at the top, you’ll know when it’s time to replace the batteries before you run out of juice. On the bottom of the device there’s an on and off switch so that you can save batteries when you’re on the go or not using the mouse. That way, it doesn’t sit idly and waste its life away. The scroll wheel is “rubbery” and feels good with each rotation (good feedback).
Best of all, the laser technology fitted into this mouse will keep you as accurate as possible when it comes to moving your cursor around pixel by pixel.
The Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 (whew! That’s a long and awkward name, right?) is both PC and Mac compatible and it’ll work nicely with any computer that has Bluetooth connectivity. In short, I recommend this item if you’re in the market for a convenient and portable mouse to go with your laptop computer.
NOTE: For whatever reason, the back-button on the mouse doesn’t work well out of the box with Mac computers, but I managed to solve this problem easily by installing SteerMouse, a handy little app that enhances mouse support on the Mac.

I’ve tried lots of computer mice in my days in front of the computer and I can say without a doubt that some of the best computer peripherals come from Microsoft. They’re keyboards and mice are the cream of the crop in my opinion but their selection of mice is where they shine. I’ve been looking to buy a notebook mouse for a while now and I finally jumped in with the purchase of the Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 for a very spectacular deal.
I cannot wait until it comes in. I love the multi-touch trackpad that I’m using now, but a mouse will surely be of greater ease and comfort!

Black Friday is quickly coming upon us all, and I’m starting to think about what I might want to buy if I had the chance to get it for a significant amount off. I was just talking to Flo about bluetooth headsets and I’d really want to find a deal on the Jawbone 2.
I really love the black or the gold one. The suggested retail price is $129.99, but Amazon.com currently sells the black one
It’s a deal, I guess, but I want a better deal on it and I’m willing to wait.
