I finally broke down yesterday and picked up a
Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000. I have been using a USB wired mouse on my laptop for years although the buttons were starting to go south so I decided to make the jump to wireless. It's on the small size which has pros and cons.... pro: fits in my laptop bag with lots of space to spare, con: I'm a big guy with big hands and the small mouse can sometimes make things difficult. It was the only mouse at the store that had a thumb button. Having had a thumb button on my Logitech G5 and MX518 I'm never going back.
Cheers!
