For the longest time I have relied on a normal sized corded mouse with my laptop. I only recently switched to wireless mice for mobile use but the mice were still full size desktop units. This is because I haven't found a single laptop sized mouse that felt good in my hand. That all changed when I discovered the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse. If you're a laptop user unable to warm up to a touchpad or pointing stick then you'll want to check this mouse out - it's an almost perfect for Laptop users.

With a conventional corded mouse, you had to deal with a long, tangle-prong cord. Going wireless helps to free up the cord but adds a receiver to the list of items to keep track of when you're on the go - lose the receiver and your mouse becomes a wireless paper weight. I get around this problem because I use a Bluetooth mouse with my Dell XPS Gaming Laptop, which has a built in Bluetooth receiver. At any rate, whether you're using a corded or wireless full size mouse, the mouse itself is too bulky for easy transport or tray-table use when flying. And laptop specific mice were generally too small and fidgety to be of any use. The new Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse strikes a perfect balance between portability and use-ability. The mouse is small enough to be carry with you anywhere, yet big enough that it doesn't feel like a toy. The mouse features a L shaped USB RF receiver that snaps to the underside of the mouse when not in use, so you won't have to worry about losing it. The MS mouse carries a retail price of $39.00 but we've found it for less. Direct Link: http://www.laptopgamers.com/content/view/264/26/
