I bought a Mouseman Cordless, and am very happy with it. The mouse itslef is kind
of big, but the cordless part is great, and Logitech makes pretty good mice,
IMHO. Be creful to stay away from the kind that have to be in the line of sight
of the receiver. These tend to be quirky. I think these are the infrared mice.
Mine uses radio waves, and can be anywhere up to six feet from the receiver, and
the receiver doesn't have to be able to "see" the mouse.

Good Luck
