Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks

Right now, most reviewers say that the Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse is the top choice for use with a laptop. Its small size and ultra-small USB transceiver -- which can either be left safely plugged into a laptop or stored within the mouse itself when travelling -- combine for the maximum in on-the-go portability. Mouse performance is excellent. The one fly in the ointment is that the VX Nano might be too small for those with more ample hands to use comfortably. One alternative is the full-sized Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 (*est. $50). We saw nice comments for it as either a desktop or laptop option. It, too, has a small USB transceiver that can be stored within the mouse when not in use.

The best review we saw for the Logitech VX Nano is at HardwareCentral.com. Though the site is harder to use than most, the effort is worthwhile as reviews are rich in details and all mice are extensively tested. CNet.com and Everything USB are also worthwhile destinations. The discussions at CNet.com are not as detailed as some other reviewers', but the site reviews many different models of mice and rates and ranks them, making it easy to see which ones are best. Users can weigh in as well, and often do. Everything USB's discussion is more detailed, but does not rate or rank mice -- though clear opinions are rendered.
