I'm using the Logitech M305 cordless mouse - it has a "micro-receiver" unit which plugs in to a USB port. Debian picked it up just fine in the USB 2.0 port on my Medion brand laptop. For the greater part, I think they just present themselves as a generic USB mouse in Linux, but I've only used this one model and didn't look too far in to the inner workings because it "just worked" for me. Regards, Tim Lyth

Thanks Tim. That is logical, but some times logic doesn't count. Keith Bainbridge PO Box 324 BELMONT Vic 3216 Australia +61 (0)408 522 706 keith.bainbridge.3216@gmail.com
I've been using all sorts of wireless mice for the time I've been using Linux (2005). I went into Harvey Norman one day looking for a wireless mouse. Looked on the Logitech boxes and they basically all said they were compatible with Windows and Mac. A sales assistant happened to be sitting at a desk nearby so I asked him if that meant they wouldn't work with Linux. He replied "probably". I just picked one up and bought it knowing that every mouse I've used has been compatible with Linux. Michael On Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 8:41 AM, Keith Bainbridge <keithrbau@gmail.com>wrote:

Hi All, Housemate recently bought a genuine Microsoft "Wireless Desktop 800" mouse and keyboard combination. Has a very small USB dongle and runs at 2.4 GHz. Works great on our dual boot system with XP and Ubuntu 10.4 Claims a 15 foot range, but we haven't tested it's actual limits. To be on the safe side, we've stuck it in a front-of-case socket. Myself, I prefer the reliable cable mice and keyboards. Enough dead batteries in the tips. Cheers, Carl Turney Bayswater On 25/07/12 22:16, Keith Bainbridge wrote:
