I just ordered a Dell Studio 17 w/ built in bluetooth.

I'd like a good wireless mouse to go with it, but am having trouble finding a solid bluetooth mouse for a decent price.

Should I even bother with bluetooth or just get an RF mouse with a tiny USB adapter?
 
I just bought myself a Bluetooth mouse, model UN733, on eBay for $20 shipped. It's a Dell mouse with five buttons and a side-scrolling wheel. It's nice as far as desktop usage is concerned. I don't game with it so I can't advise you there.

If you want another one, eBay is still a really good place to look. I could hardly find any Bluetooth mice in stores, certainly none in my price range; eBay yielded like a million choices under $30.
 
I'm seeing a lot of complaints about bluetooth mice.
Mostly that they fall asleep within 5 seconds of standing idle and that random disconnects are common.

So I am starting to wonder...
should I just get a nano vx(with tiny USB receiver) or use a bluetooth mouse?

I'm looking at:
Logitech V470: Bluetooth, convenience of not having a reciever

Microsoft Notebook mouse 3000: Reciever is large, but does snap in and I can pick it up at locally for $20. Which is a plus, since I can start using it right away.

Logitech Nano VX: Seems to be more consistent than bluetooth and doesn't have a large reciever.

I have no experience with any type of wireless mouse. So any advice is welcome.
If it was up to me every mouse in the world would be an MX510.
 
I would get the VX Nano if I were you. It's a quality mouse and should work great for your purposes. Plus, Logitech's RF technology is the best out there.
