Bluetooth mouse for the T60?

[bri]

Yea it's weird that they have two versions without a clear distinction. The media pad is not required, the three pieces are linked as individual devices and so you can mix and match. I'm using the keyboard at work with my work computer and the mouse at home with my Thinkpad. This is just for convenience sake where they get the best use and I don't want to carry them back and forth. I only use the number pad for heavy data entry which I never have to do, so the Media Pad is in a drawer somewhere. The keyboard is AWESOME, it's just like a very high quality laptop keyboard. The T60 keyboard is just so-so, no comparison to the great keyboards on the X20 and T40 I had, and the DiNovo keyboard is very nearly as good as those 'gold standard' Thinkpads.

Well I did a lot of research when I got my T60p. To help you guys out:

There are two versions of the DiNovo, one is regular "Fast RF" and one is Bluetooth, I have the Bluetooth version, is it was absolutely perfect! When looking at the DiNovo keyboard one might think that it's too thin to provide enough response while typing. I've found that it provides great feedback and just the right amount of "springiness".

As for a portable mouse. I got this off of eBay. The quality isn't as great as Logitech's (the mouse clicks doesn't feel as nice), but it's bluetooth and it has a USB cord that you can plug into USB to use and recharge. So just use the mouse over bluetooth until it dies and then plug it to a USB slot and use it while it's charging. I wish Logitech would come up with a solution like this. Hope this post helps.
