			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve never been a big fan of using a laptops touchpad so I’ve always counted on my mini portable mouse when I’m on my laptop. Unfortunately it was dropped and stopped working. I had the Microsoft Explorer Mini Mouse which really worked well and was an <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/mice/microsoft-explorer-mouse/4505-3148_7-33314593.html" target="_blank">editors choice at CNET</a>. The thing I liked best about it was it worked on any surface. This was a nice feature when I wanted to kick back on the couch and get some work done.</p>
<p>Even though I liked it, I thought I’d look around at what new portable mice are available. Below are a few models I checkout out, along with links to reviews that I found for each model.  If there is a portable mouse you really love using, let me know in a comment below. I’d love to hear any suggestions and comments you have about your favorite (or least favorite) portable mouse.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=019" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.rainebrooke.com/images/blog_pics/mouse_minimouse3500.jpg" alt="" width="136" height="118" /><strong>Microsoft  Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500</strong></a> &#8211; Has the BlueTrack technology which allows it to work on almost any surface. Also has the Nano transceiver which can stay plugged in…this would be a nice change from my previous mouse.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Reviews:</span> none found, product ships in April</p>
<p><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=013" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.rainebrooke.com/images/blog_pics/mouse_wirelessmobilemouse4000.jpg" alt="" width="129" height="135" /><strong>Microsoft  Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000</strong></a> &#8211; Also has the BlueTrack technology for working on any surface along with the Nano transceiver.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Reviews:</span><br />
<a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/mice/microsoft-wireless-mobile-mouse/4505-3148_7-33731948.html" target="_blank">CNET review</a> &#8211; OK with the exception of short battery life, lack of precision and price.<br />
<a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2351328,00.asp" target="_blank">PCMag review</a> &#8211; Does the job but it’s nothing to get excited about and the reviewer doesn’t like its inability for horizontal tilt on the scroll wheel.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=112" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.rainebrooke.com/images/blog_pics/mouse_arcmouse.jpg" alt="" width="179" height="106" /><strong>Microsoft  Arc Mouse</strong></a> &#8211; Folds onto itself which makes it really portable and has a good range and small transceiver. However it doesn’t offer the BlueTrack technology which is negative for me.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Reviews:</span><br />
<a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/mice/microsoft-arc-mouse-black/4505-3148_7-33187155.html" target="_blank">CNET review</a> &#8211; likes the design and portability, but is mentions the side button is hard to use.<br />
<a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2332321,00.asp" target="_blank">PCMag review</a> &#8211; overall positive for design and function, but doesn’t like that it takes 2 AAA batteries and feels gamers might not like its lightweight feel.</p>
<p><a href="http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.169419000/parentCategoryID.35208800/categoryId.35210700" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.rainebrooke.com/images/blog_pics/mouse_razerorochi.jpg" alt="" width="133" height="119" /><strong>Razer Orochi</strong></a> &#8211; Bluetooth &amp; wired capable, small size, plenty of customizable buttons</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Reviews:</span><br />
<a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/mice/razer-orochi/4505-3148_7-33783495.html" target="_blank">CNET  review</a> &#8211; highly customizable and really accurate sensitivity<br />
<a href="http://www.cravingtech.com/razer-orochi-review.html" target="_blank">Craving Tech review</a> &#8211; overall seems really pleased&#8230; tested it by playing Left 4 Dead (the one computer game I play when I have time <img src='http://www.rainebrooke.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<p><a href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/5843&amp;cl=us,en" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.rainebrooke.com/images/blog_pics/mouse_marathonmouse.jpg" alt="" width="119" height="114" /><strong>Logitech Marathon Mouse M705</strong></a> &#8211; long battery life, tiny receiver and a fast scroll wheel (big + for me)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Reviews:</span><br />
<a href="http://www.digitalversus.com/article-384-6693-33.html" target="_blank">Digital Versus review</a>: likes the scroll wheel, batter life and tiny receiver, but feels the overall size is not comfortable (too big for portable use, too small for daily use)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/6536&amp;cl=us,en" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.rainebrooke.com/images/blog_pics/mouse_anywheremouse.jpg" alt="" width="129" height="125" /><strong>Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX</strong></a> &#8211; Darkfield technology that tracks on any surface (+), good size, tiny receiver</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Reviews:</span><br />
<a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/mice/logitech-anywhere-mouse-mx/4505-3148_7-33767206.html" target="_blank">CNET review</a>: Darkfield technology delivers on its promise, but feels the price is too steep for a portable mouse.<br />
<a href="http://gizmodo.com/5340410/logitech-performance-anywhere-mouse-mx-review" target="_blank">Gizmodo  review</a> &#8211; says it&#8217;s &#8220;one of the best-tracking mice&#8221; they&#8217;ve ever used</p>
<p><a href="http://us.kensington.com/html/11191.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.rainebrooke.com/images/blog_pics/mouse_kensington.jpg" alt="" width="127" height="126" /><strong>Kensington Wireless Mouse</strong></a> &#8211; I checked out several of Kinsington products at their site, in particular the one I linked to. They all look like decent mice, but I searched around for reviews and couldnt find any that were recent&#8230; not sure why, but this doesnt help me much when deciding to buy their product or not. If you know of a recent review for a Kinsington mouse let me know.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s your favorite portable mouse? Let me know below and tell me what you like or dislike about it.</p>
