When we purchase a desktop computer, it normally comes with either a wired/wireless or optical mouse. However, most laptops do not come with a mouse. Usually, it comes with a built-in track pad. I am thinking of buying a bluetooth wireless mouse for my laptop computer. Has anyone here ever used a bluetooth wireless mouse before ? Is it good ? Any brand recommendations ?

I'm currently using a bluetooth Microsoft mouse, which is working fine. I originally had a Belkin mouse and keyboard set, which wore out. I replaced it with a new Belkin set, but the mouse had a design flaw, and the left mouse button broke off on three of them. Eventually replaced it with the Microsoft one.

Thanks for your response. How much did you pay for the Microsoft bluetooth mouse ? Does it need to install software driver for it to work ?

It cost £24.99, but it was a mouse and keyboard. I've seen similar mice sold separately though, for about £17. Some stuff was installed, but I can't remember whether it was from a cd or not.

Microsoft bluetooth mouse is not 100 % reliable. It sometimes gives problems. I felt logitech better than microsoft.

I have only tried a wireless mouse. It is crap lol. I have the microsoft set of wireless (by radiowaves) mouse and keyboard. I am still using the keyboard because that is still ok... most of the time and a wireless keyboard is more convenient that one with a wire. As for the mouse, somehow the connection kept breaking for me and I axed it. I am using an optical mouse with a wire but that works absolutely great. So far, my experience with bluetooth has been great. If the one you are eying is comfortably within your budget, I would suggest you go for it.

Glad to know that you have no problems with your wireless keyboard and bluetooth experience :-)
