I WANT to buy Logitech MX900 Bluetooth cordless optical mouse or

Logitech MX1000 new Wireless laser cordless optical mouse for my x40

technically they say wireless is better than the bluestooth

Bluetooth is more slower than wireless mouse


but each one machine that has bluetooth and wireless features (x40 etc.)

The benefit with a bluetooth mouse to a laptop is that you dont need to carry the "transmitter" with you if you got builtin bluetooth. The Microsoft Bluetooth mouse works very vell and I use it everyday. The drawback is that its kind of "hevy" cause of the two AA batterys inside, and Its very easy to forget the mouse when you pack your laptop back since the mouse isnt attatched to the computer... I forgot mine today at the office...

Microsoft Blutooth mouse := No problems!

I have no problem with "response time" or "lost transmissions". The Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse is "cleaver" it goes to "sleep" after a while to save battery, to wake it up you just shake the mouse a little, and then the transmission is back again. I have no "interfearing" from my mobilephone eventhough its very close to the mouse, no interfearense from my WIFI network or other wireless mouses either. The transmission range is longer with this bluetooth mouse than "ordinary" wireless mouses (good when you do powerpoint presentations). Battery consumption is lower than my previous Logitech wirelessmouse! I have used this mouse for over a year now, 8x220 hours ... Buy it , try it , I think you like it!
PS I dont work for Microsoft... DS.
