I got the Logitech cordless Mouseman (is there another one??) which is radio-
controlled, with a 6 foot range and all-aspect transmission (no LEDs to aim).
It runs from a lithium battery, which isn't rechargeable, but is supposed to
last a year.  Mine is brand new, but I've heard 4-6 months is more like it.

It's a little bigger than the standard Logitech mouse, plus it has an "ear"
under your thumb where the battery, etc. is held.  The feel is basically the
same as the corded mousemen (I liked my "wedge" C7 better, but...)   My opinion
(and from mostof the people who come to my desk and say "hey, let me play with
that neat mouse of yours") is that the bigger size is a down side but the
cordlessness more than makes up for it.

BTW, I don't know if they make a left hand model.  If you're a lefty, forget
about this one.
