Besides Bluetooth connectivity, the M555b also features a nearly frictionless scroll wheel, laser tracking and a low battery indicator.

All in all, it provides some basic conveniences that you might not find in a standard notebook mouse. Cordless is always nice and zipping through huge documents and web pages with a single flip of the scroll wheel could definitely be helpful while working on the road. If you agree, the M555b will be available later this month for $50. [Logitech]

<![CDATA[Microsoft's Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000 Has a Tiny Dongle]]> One of three new peripherals from Microsoft, the Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000 is the first to use Microsoft's nano transceiver: A 0.3-inch wide dongle that is barely visible when plugged into a USB port.

The three newest additions to the BlueTrack family—Microsoft's line of peripherals specifically designed to work on any surface—run on 2.4GHz wireless connectivity and are equipped with a plug-and-play feature with their dongles being clipped to the bottom of the peripheral. Starting from $39.95 to $69.95, both wireless mice and keyboard will be ready for purchase sometime in June. [Microsoft via DVice]

<![CDATA[Munchkin-Chic Lingo Wireless Mouse Might Be the World's Smallest]]> Nobody asked for it, but here it is: the 'world's smallest' wireless mouse! This thumb-sized min-strosity will run for 15 hours on one charge, assuming you can go that long without losing it.

I can't say for sure that the Lingo's 27.5 x 60 x 19mm dimensions qualify it for a size record, but if you're convinced (and care), it'll be available through Japanese import firms in a month for around $50. [Tecnosite via Crunchgear]

<![CDATA[Gold Bullion Wireless Mouse: Right Click With Your Goldfinger]]> Sadly, this mouse is not made out of real gold bullion, which would have made it completely insane, but it does go well with your fake gold USB hub and gold PC.

What kind of person would buy a wireless gold mouse? In my estimation, the customer base consists of the three distinct personalities pictured below.

<![CDATA[Road Mice Help You Burn Out at Work (Sales Pitch Needs Work)]]> Sometimes you don't want a mouse that looks like a mouse. Sometimes you want a mouse that looks like a Hot Wheels toy.

Road Mice are $45, officially licensed sports car versions of wireless optical mice. Infused with scroll wheels and LED headlights, the Ford Mustang, Chevy Z06 Corvette, Dodge Charger SRT8 and more are all ready to burn through some spreadsheets during your otherwise humdrum workday.

Plus, we're pretty sure that there's a decent cruising for chicks/internet porn pun you could tell all of your coworkers 100 or so times before realizing that it probably wasn't all that funny in the first place. [Road Mice]

<![CDATA[Logitech MX 1100 Mouse Review (Verdict: Our Favorite Mouse Ever)]]>

The Gadget: Logitech's MX 1100 cordless laser mouse, which is a combination of the MX1000 (which we've used for years) and the slightly newer MX Revolution. It's wireless, which is great for most everyone, and contoured to your hand for extra comfort. There's also an on-board DPI toggle for sensitivity and the ability to switch between regular scrolling and super speedy scrolling.

The Price: $80

The Verdict: Our favorite mouse yet. The exterior is totally molded to fit your hand with very cozy grooves for the thumb, ring and pinkie. Like the MX Revolution, it's missing the fast scroll buttons found in the MX1000, but makes up for it with the fast scroll/regular scroll wheel toggle that lets you switch between standard scrolling and the super fast turbo spin that shoots through 10,000 lines of Excel in seven seconds. Then there are the other buttons.

The exterior DPI toggle can adjust sensitivity on the fly without opening up the control app and the "body" thumb button is good for whatever function (Exposé on Mac or Flip 3D on Vista) you want to assign. The forward and back thumb buttons are still there, and are still nice and soft, and the right and left mouse clicks have just the perfect amount of feedback to balance out feeling solid, being quiet and feeling satisfying. It also solves the flaw Logitech mice have had the past few years where it's hard to middle click the scroll wheel because it would tilt to either side, activating the side scrolling.

The two questionable design decisions are its use of AA batteries, which means it's not natively rechargeable, and the fact that lefties will feel even more uncomfortable using this than with previous ergonomically-shaped mice. We're right handed, but a few of our friends (we call them leftovers) wish they could use these along with us. Maybe make a left-handed version with all the internal pieces mirrored, but only 1/20 the production count? As for the batteries, this might be better, since our experience with Logitech mice is that the contacts between it and the docking station always get worn out, which leads to an inability to charge after a few years.

If you're like us and can see past these very minor quirks, you'll definitely be happy picking one up for daily use. At $80, it's not on the absolute highest side of the mice scale, plus it's actually still cheaper than the $99 MX Revolution, so power users will definitely be happy using this for years;or at least until Logitech decides to refine their design even more.

<![CDATA[Asus MS71 Is a Wireless Mouse and a USB Thumb Drive]]> What do hardware engineers talk about when they're drunk? Merging two distinct gadgets into one gadget, as evidenced by this Asus MS71 mouse/storage device. It's a wireless laser mouse, but at the same time it's a USB thumb drive. The marriage of the two may sound good on paper—if you don't think about it for more than five seconds—but the actual execution gets you either something that's way too cramped to use comfortably as a mouse, or way too big to shove comfortably into a USB port. How about a Webcam/USB thumb drive next? Maybe we need to be more drunk to come up with these things. [Newlaunches]

<![CDATA[Brando Car Mouse: I Think It's Meant to be a Bug (or a Nissan Micra)]]>

If I had one of these (which I don't, because firstly, I don't drive and secondly, it doesn't come in Barbie Pink) then I would use it to hunt down the cockroaches in my apartment, thanks to those little LED headlights. If I had cockroaches, that is. Brandon's car mouse will set you back $22, but a can of Raid costs just $5. The other option, nuclear war, is a little more pricey.
