Hello:
This might be of interest: a wireless, optical mouse (or more precisely six models of mice) -- that do not have any batteries!

How do they do it? The mouse*pad* is powered by your USB and it uses a short-range radio link to the mouse -- it works up to about 2" above the pad, apparently. The review (second link above) tests the NB-50, which is a mid-line model with four buttons -- and it costs just $20!
Has anybody used one of these, or maybe someone is willing to give one a try and give us a review?
