Iim always a bit leery of “portable mice” and “travel mice” because more often than not those terms really mean “too small to use, and uncomfortable, too.” Thatis why Radtechis BT500 Mobile Mouse was such a surprise: It is actually a usable travel-size mouse.
The BT500 is an 800dpi optical Bluetooth mouse with rechargeable batteries. It includes left and right buttons along with a scroll wheel that acts as a third button. A custom USB charger cable is included, and the mouse also works with AAA batteries in case you forget the cable while on the road. Iim not big on custom cables since that means you have one more bit of charging gear to potentially forget.
Battery life on this little mouse seems totally reasonable. After an initial charge, I used the BT500 for a week without killing the batteries. That tells me I can get several days use on the road even if I leave the charging cable behind.
