Can anyone who liked this mouse recommend a good comparable replacement, since dell doesn't seem to make it anymore?

I had an HP bluetooth mouse that worked quite well. Did try a Targus for awhile but it seemed to disconnect when left idle for any amount of time, but would reconnect when you move it but if your playing a game that get frustrating. The HP mouse just didn't live through the 8 foot drop I put it through by accident. OOPS.

Repair costs can be high in most cases. Worn out but well used peripherals should be replaced in my opinion. I had my notebook 5000 mouse for years, so I purchased a new one from Amazon, and kept the older one for backup.

I would suggest checking into the MSI Wind. I personally haven't had the pleasure (or possibly horror, but let us hope not) of using any of these products yet but I am looking into them for the same reason as you. Currently I am leaning towards the Aspire One, but I have gone back and forth with the MSI Wind. The Aspire does offer CF slots which are fairly cheap to expand. Also if you are technically inclined you can replace the hard drive to which it is equipped with an Ipod (ZIF) hard drive. With all of that said rumor has it that the Dell "E" is being released on the 15th of August with a base price of $299 USD. The most important qualities for me are a lengthy battery life (which the aspire does not have with the included 3 cell battery, ~3 hours) and a solid comfortable keyboardfor extended typing sessions. Good luck in your quest!

It works great with my Dell inspiron 17. The last mouse I had ate batteries like crazy and I haven't had to put a new battery in yet.

I purchased mine and after a week of use it stopped working, received a full refund. I honestly want to love this mouse bc the design is unique and unmatched, but after much research I found out the laser is piss poor in longevity. If you purchased it new, you can contact Mad Catz for a replacement within 2 years with proof of purchase

From what I can see they moved the extra 2 buttons from left of the left mouse to below the mousewheel. Only has green LEDs and you are forced to use the new Synapse drivers/app. I'm thinking of picking one of these up with discounts for $40 and then reselling to get an original or Molten for stand alone drivers.

When mine broke Microsoft said I could not, however the device was still under warrantee so they sent me a whole new mouse and receiver. Now the mouse is discontinued, so if it is still under warrantee they will likely replace with a different mouse.

Anyone have ANY luck at all getting spare batteries? I'm ready to buy a new one - just to swap the batteries out and then return it with my old batteries... Seems like alot of effort to go through, since these idiots don't reply to my e-mails. But I love the mouse, so buyer beware, you're on your own.UPDATE: on 11/22/2011 - I FINALLY received an e-mail from Saitek (took 6-weeks!). They do NOT offer spare batteries, and have no suggestion for me what to do with a mouse that has batteries that doesn't hold a charge. wow..

Mine was "good to go" - I had a second laptop and I used my URL to copy files, documents, etc to the Dell. My problem came much later. It was a VERY good laptop for what I used it for. I am away from home days at a time - I wanted a second laptop so I could keep one with me - leave the other at home. Mostly e-mail, on-line banking, games. I had my D610 about a year (I purchased it "refurbished"). About a month ago I stared getting error messages and freezes ..then it crashed. I took it to the shop and they could not fix it. While I had it I used it A LOT and it was a very good second laptop. I am now considering a NEW ACER notebook for about $200. My first was an ACER and it is nearly 8 years old and very reliable.

The more expensive version has a stand. Anyway, after about 15 months my unit has developed a problem - power failure and battery not charging. It's with Dell now. Hopefully it's not expensive to repair. My main worry is the motherboard hope it's still ok.

I bought the HP x4000b mouse, now at US$19.99 at HP x4000b Bluetooth Mouse - Matte Black . It´s been working flawless.
