This Logitech Wireless Mouse M235 features a contoured design with soft rubber grips and a smooth scroll wheel that makes it more comfortable for users.
Its compact design is also travel-friendly. The accompanying wireless receiver is small enough to be left in the computer port after use. Additional PC peripherals, such as a keyboard, can be added to the existing connection without the need for another receiver.
It can keep going for up to a year without changing its battery.

Created with Web junkies in mind, this wireless mouse features a new precision scroll wheel that improves a user’s online browsing experience.
The M325 has a scroll wheel that can be up to four times as precise as that of a regular mouse. This means that scrolling down long Web pages or documents will be smoother and the on-screen motion will appear less choppy. Users can tilt the scroll wheel right or left to move forward or backward from one webpage to another.
This mouse promises a long battery life of up to 18 months. Its wireless receiver can connect up to six devices as well.

This pint-sized wireless mouse does not look like a mouse at all. Sporting a radically different design and only slightly larger than a matchbox, holding the mouse feels like gripping a pen. But the grip actually feels more comfortable than many regular mice.
The buttons on this Swiftpoint Wireless Mouse are positioned differently too. Instead of being lined side by side, the left and right click buttons are placed one behind the other. The scroll wheel, which is traditionally found in the middle, is on the right side.
Using it for the first time felt a little strange, but I was surprised at how quickly and naturally I was able to adapt to it. It remained comfortable to use even after many hours.
The mouse works well on most non-glossy surfaces and can even be placed on the palm rest of a laptop if space is really scarce. Left and right clicks, as well as scrolling pages were easy, but I found it difficult to click and drag, like when I try to draw a box or highlight a group of items.
Left handers will find it nearly impossible to use as the mouse is designed for right handers.
This mouse does not require external batteries. Simply attach its USB receiver and plug it to your computer to charge. However, the mouse requires a horizontally oriented USB port for charging. If your laptop or computer has vertically oriented ports, there might not be enough clearance between the mouse and the table. You would have to use a USB hub then.
A full charge takes about 90 minutes and is good for four weeks. Should it run out of juice, charging it for 30 seconds will provide about an hour of usage.
The Swiftpoint Mouse is great for travellers and road warriors. Its size is especially useful when you are using your computer on a small space such as an airplane tray table. But if you belong to the approximately 10 per cent of the population who are southpaws, stay away from this mouse.
Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 is a stylish affair that sits comfortably in the hand and glides smoothly across the desk. A small docking station recharges the battery, but we found you need to be very precise when placing the mouse on the dock. The wireless connection is provided by a small 2.4GHz USB stick.
The two traditional buttons are joined by a smooth-scrolling wheel, which itself has three button actions, and two thumb-operated buttons Microsoft says they are for one-touch magnification and Vista’s Flip 3D tool, but the included software lets you reassign them. The extra buttons are well positioned, so you are unlikely to press them by accident. Will Stapley Overall A well-designed mouse but there are cheaper alternatives

Previously, I have reviewed Microsoft Mobile Mouse 8000 before.
Microsoft new mobile Memory Mouse 8000 is a well-designed, full-featured, and expensive input device. This wireless mouse worked great on all desktop surfaces; it even worked on rough or unusual surfaces such as glass and the keys of a keyboard.
Powered by a rechargeable nickel–metal hydride battery, it can charge through a small cable that latches magnetically from the mouse to a 2.4-GHz USB receiver that also doubles as a 1GB flash drive. (You can connect the mouse via Bluetooth, too.)
Business travelers will appreciate the flexibility this mouse offers; other people will find its price too high.
If you’re looking for a lean, totally wireless keyboard and mouse combo, the Kensington Ci70 Desktop Set is a great bet.
The Kensington Ci70 is notable for its sleek, low-profile design. Kensington says the keyboard is roughly 35 percent thinner than a standard multimedia model, but it seems much leaner. It’s a trimmed-down multimedia keyboard that eliminates boundless buttons in favor of a limited selection that will serve the average user well. You get quick-launch controls for applications and basic controls for media-player operation.

The wireless mouse is similarly svelte. It’s a comfortable, responsive pointer with a symmetrical design, making it a great choice for lefties. You can dock the mouse at the top center of the keyboard; when the mouse is docked, the PC is automatically dispatched to Sleep mode. The set is easy to set up: it simply connects to your PC wirelessly via a single USB dongle.
Most people liked the feel of the Ci70, because we use laptops as much as we use desktops, and the Ci70 feels much like an oversize laptop keyboard. It doesn’t have the deep key travel or tactile response of traditional desktop keyboards, however, so those accustomed to desktop typing may not like the feel. Speed typists, on the other hand, will be able to race across the keyboard because it requires less effort to depress the keys.
Kensington provides a five-year warranty and includes free technical support. The company says the combo should deliver up to six months of battery life.
The Logitech MX Air cordless mouse lets you send long distance commands with hand gestures in the air, making it ideal for controlling an entertainment PC from across the room.
To set it up, just connect its tiny receiver to your PC’s USB port, and it’ll instantly come to life. Its tear-drop shape makes it comfortable to hold in the air. Unfortunately, the MX Air has no grooves for your thumb, so when you’re using it conventionally on a desk, it’s not the most ergonomic mouse around. And despite its high price of $149.99, it has only a modest 800-dot per inch resolution.

In addition to left and right buttons, the mouse has dedicated back, select, play/pause, and volume buttons that glow orange when the mouse is witched on. Instead of a scroll wheel, the mouse comes with a touch-sensitive strip. Glide your finger up or down the strip, and the mouse makes an audible clicking sound that mimics a scroll wheel. Slide your finger a little faster, and not only will you scroll through documents more quickly, but the speed of the clicks increases, too.
There is no trouble opening folders, browsing through pictures, or even dragging individual files to the trash with arm gestures. There’s a slight learning curve to Logitech’s motion control when using the mouse in the air, but nothing you can’t master after a day’s use. It worked well with both Apple’s iTunes and Microsoft’s Windows Media Player software on a Windows PC. There is no support for Mac OS X, however.
