Mice - Bluetooth

[FYIan]

I also registered purely to voice my support for this. I need a bluetooth mouse to accompany my bluetooth keyboard, that I will be using from the couch. A trackball seems like the perfect tool, since there would be no good surface to mouse over.

There is some form of apple-focused bluetooth trackball, but its expensive and has the trackball under the palm, instead of under the thumb, where its actually usable.

For crying out loud, c'mon Logitech!  Surely more Trackmans have been sold than these- and you're going to be making THEM w/Bluetooth...

It's time Logitech. Bluetooth trackman, marble and wheel, are needed. This forum is a couple of years old now. Don't wait until another company gets the jump on you. You have some loyal customers waiting.

i've used a trackman forever. yes, forever. getting ready to purchase a laptop that has built-in bluetooth, and what's better for a laptop then a portable trackball so that i don't need a good surface. and what better trackball than a trackman?

i'll tell you:

bluetooth wireless trackman.

I know the trackball market has to be a lot smaller than the mouse market, but i'd presume that people that use trackballs are probably more likely to invest in a bluetooth one... since trackballs are tailor-made for mobility / cluttered / small spaces

A Bluetooth trackball (in black or dark grey) and a comfort laser keyboard (also Bluetooth) would be the best package deal available right now. If it existed. I would buy that almost immedialtely. I am trying to set up a home office to go for my laptop and would like to use as many wireless/bluetooth components as I can.

Logitech are you listening? If you build it we will buy it.

I just submitted the request for a Bluetooth Trackman on Logitech's website.  www.logitech.com/newbusiness

Everyone else should do the same.

Been looking for this since the first bluetooth mouse came out. Would buy it in a second. Been a trackball guy for a long time. Actually I'd probably buy 3 one for my office one for home and another to leave in my bag. I already have that setup with my wired trackballs, I'd go wireless but I hate having to deal with dongles

Been using a cord and cordless version of the Track Man Wheel and would buy a Bluetooth version instantly Beta.

For some reason I am not suprised by this response in the least. Logitech is knelling the death of trackballs. Guess I need to start a savings account to create my own (throws a penny in a jar).
