New Mouse on its way

I wanted a convenient mouse to go with my laptop for those times when I'm planning to surf longer than an hour or so. I've become very used to the touch pad and have already applied an add-on for Firefox since I don't have a middle mouse button. However I still have the habit of reaching to the right of the keyboard and looking for something a bit more comfortable in my hand.

While my laptop comes with Bluetooth installed, I really wasn't impressed with the Bluetooth enabled selection of mice I have come across so far. The HP Bluetooth Wireless has been the only one to catch my attention, but I just didn't exactly fall in love with it, and I'm worried that the scroll wheel is that particular type of rubber that my finger eventually just slides along rather than maintaining a good grip. With my laptop coming with 4 USB ports that I doubt will all ever be in use at the same time, I opted for the Logitech VX Nano Cordless. The nano receiver is a "forget about it" receiver that can stay permanently in the USB port. However, other features I like about the mouse are:

- the receiver itself can be stored inside the mouse
- protective pouch for the mouse
- includes a USB extension adapter, which was something I didn't know until after placing my order for this mouse, but I like having additional options like that
- the mouse just looks comfortable and classy at the same time
- I like it's thin profile which will be great for not taking up too much space in my laptop bag
- the black and gray color scheme it has will actually match my laptop perfectly
- the faux leather sides is a really nice touch
- side-to-side scroll wheel, and this will be my first time to actually own one, so we'll see how much use I get out of it
- convenient forward/back buttons for web pages

Something else that kind of caught my eye, the Kennsington SlimBlade at least has a sleek look to it as well, and also comes in a nice burgundy. The Presenter version has a deep blue option. Not bad as options that come with smaller profiles and smaller receivers as well.
