Targus mouse has gone: Main probs with the it were:- Occasional disconnections requiring me to go messing in the Bluetooth settings
- Right button never seemed to work properly
- Mouse action would occasionally go very jerky if left unused for more than about 10 minutes
- Battery life was a bit crap although that might be a common feature of all Bluetooth mice
It has been superseded by this:

The blue windows logo is a button with up and down swipe action.
First impressions are:- Nice size and feels very comfortable
- Silky smooth when being pushed around the desk (no mousemat)
- Connected very easily
- So far it works flawlessly
- It vibrates to confirm a swipe action
- Separate on/off switch and BT reconnect button (The Targus had a single button which had to be held for a set number of seconds to turn on/off or reconnect and then some flashing lights. Bit of a ball ache really)

I for one appreciate the update. For now I'll stick with my Logitech wireless (with dongle which I know you didn't want). Superb battery life (about a year), flawless operation, no disconnects. I have two of these in close proximity for 2 separate PCs and neither interferes with the other.
IMHO you seem to be prepared for a lot of hassle just to avoid the small sticky out bit on a USB port.
Pls let us know how you get on with the MS mouse.Comment

I've never felt the need for a non wired mouse, they do the same job are less likely to go wrong and usually have better response times
And if you do any gaming, wireless is horribleDoing the needful since 1827Comment

I like one of these. Folds flat and has tiny dongle.
