Bluetooth Mouse

Not bluetooth (unless it's on a Mac!), but I've had the Evoluent VerticalMouse recommended from a posture point of view.
 
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It has been superseded by this: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.
 
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 horrible
