I used to have a regular sized Dell laptop and just bought a new 1011 mini. It's got Ubuntu 8.04 and I am trying to figurer out how to get my Targus PAKP003 wireless mouse/keypad combo to work. Any ideas?? I plug it into the USB port, but it doesn't recognize it. I'm not familiar with this operating system. It worked fine on my other laptop, but it had WinXP. any help would be great! -JebNaustin |

i picked up a microsoft arc mouse this week and i love it. it folds up real small for storage, but feels nice in your hand when unfolded. i wish the dongle was as small as the logitech one, but i don't use it all the time so it's not a big deal. |

I'm ambidexterous for mousing and shooting, but I prefer my left hand. If I walk up to a computer and the mouse is on the right side, I don't move it, I just keep it on the left at home and at my work desk. Now, as for reversing the buttons, I'm the freak -- I'm lefty and I *don't* change them. |

I am somewhat ambidextrous when it comes to using a mouse... but I definitely prefer my right hand, by far. I have used my right hand much much more so I am naturally more accurate. Also, I usually keep my left hand rested near the keyboard for quick access to hotkeys and keyboard shortcuts!

The Anywhere Mouse MX is pretty much symmetrical, except for the side buttons. It isn't like the MX Revolution I use on my desktop which is absolutely right-handed. In overall shape it seems very similar to the VX Nano, but I am uncertain how big it is. Mini 9|2GB RAM|64GB RunCore|Intel 5300|Windows 8 |

In the photo I saw, it doesnt look 100% symmetrical. Need more shots to tell for sure. Either way, I ain't payin' $80 for a mouse. That's alot of bourbon. |

That is why you wait for a SlickDeal the mouse is new, so SlickDeals will probably not have any deals posted on the mouse for a while... but still  And the mouse does look comparable in size to the VX Nano... I think it is supposed to "take its place". It looks relatively symmetrical too (almost perfectly symmetrical). The only annoyance would be clicking the "thumb" buttons  Meklort's Blog | NBI Google Code Page | osx.mechdrew.com -- the best OSX installation guides |
