    No, I am not sponsored by these people, but I just bought these from Dealextreme for my Aspire One (XP), and they rock!

    I am in day one, but these are so awesome for the price!
    ** Be carfeful which adapter to buy as not all are as flush fitting as this one. **

    I looked at other wireless mice, but this adapter is bluetooth, so I can use it for other things like a keyboard, etc....
    Please let me know if there are better options, but like I said, for the price, with free shipping, these rock!!

    *** update ***

    One thing that is annoying, but am working on fixing is that bluetooth connectivity is lost when the computer wakes up from hibernation mode, and the mouse has to be re-registered. I use hibernation mode as it is way quicker than shutting down the computer and restarting it. I am using the Toshiba stack 6.00.03 that came with the adapter, and running Windows XP. Maybe one of the other stacks works better?

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    What's are your observations of the mouse, is it worth it?

    For the price, I don't think that you could do much better for a bluetooth mouse.
    Selecting a mouse is somewhat personal as I have bought expensive mice that I have detested.
    For casual use, I find this mouse quite good, but would not use it for long periods of time.
    I really like it as it is basically a clone of this MSI mouse for $51:
