Does such a thing exist?
I'd like a cordless optical mouse, but without the transceiver and huge wire (kinda defeats the purpose).
I'm looking for a little receiver (similar to those USB drives) that just plugs into the USB port and sticks out the back of the computer/laptop a little bit.

The Kensington Pocket Mouse Pro Wireless might be up your alley. Check it out at http://kensington.com/html/1766.html

Precisely what I was looking for! Thank you!
Just curious, but is Kensington the only manufacturer of these types of wireless mice?

I guess Bluetooth is an option, right?
Isn't everything wireless with Bluetooth as long as you have Bluetooth peripherals?

Where's the best place to get a cheap bluetooth multi-button mouse w/ clickable scroll wheel for my new 15inch PBook?

I played with a wireless Kensington Studio mouse at CompUSA today and I must say it was really cool. It looks cool, feels comfortable, and it has a nifty 'iPod-like" touch scroll pad in the middle to replace a wheel and a third button.

I've used the Targus Wireless Mouse before, and it's neat. Works cleanly, and has a cool blue LED that lights up on the receiver every time you move it. (I think it's nifty.
Images are available at MacMall, and it's slightly cheaper than others.

The only bluetooth mouse I could find is from Microsoft. Is it compatible with Macs? The reason I want bluetooth is so I don't have to have a reciver sticking out of the usb port.
