Title: Which unostentatious not to small bluetooth mouse?
Post by: ibu on Thu, 17 November 2011, 03:39:57

I'm looking for a bluetooth mouse, which has an unostentatious appearance. The contrary is a typical gamer mouse.

Example: I like the appearance and the form of the Apple Mighty Mouse.

Which are the must haves?

* bluetooth
* laser
* separate left and right button (I mention that because I need it for so called rocker gestures, which are not possible with mices like the mighty mouse)
* scrollwheel
* minimum length 11 cm
* unostentatious appearance

Nice to haves?

* symetrical form
* integrated slider to cover the lense for transport
* clean design in color and texture
* no big letters of the name of the brand

Any recommendations?

If you think of a mouse, which is out of production, but still available second hand: that's fine as well.

Thanks.

Fits your description pretty well, I guess :P

@Pileks
Thanks for your hint. I saw that mouse may be one year ago in a shop. I didn't like it. Can't explain why exactly .

My Father has this Microsoft mouse (http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Bluetooth-Notebook-Mouse-5000/dp/B000TG4BA0). I think it's too small, but he seems to like it. Or maybe the Logitech V470?

Thanks for the hints.
I don't like the design of the Microsoft Mouse 5000.
And, indeed, the Logitech V470 is to small. AFAIR their length is 8 cm. The design is nice. Bad luck.

Not to ugly the Orochi - though it's one for gamers. ;)

But I don't like the form with the free space inbetween the two mail buttons. Sorry, for beeing picky.

free space in between the 2 main buttons? that there so you can plug the USB cable in to program it and use wired if necessary.

I know.
But I will never need a cable.

Of course that is a nice concept - for the uses who like to switch.
