I'm confused...wireless mice are sold with usb receivers...if a computer has wireless connection (to connect to router) does the mouse need the usb receiver?
I'm currently happily using blue-tooth mouse with no usb sticks but I'm considering a netbook without blue-tooth.
i dont think you can get ones that use "wifi"...would probably drain the batteries too quickly.
these are tiny - I leave it plugged int he netbook all the time;

ah you be confunsing no wires with wireless!!
A wireless mouse is nealy identical to the bluetooth one you have but operating on a different frequency, hence the need for a reciever.
well, I was thinking he could carry on using his bluetotth mouse with the non-bluetooth netbook. but yes if you get a 'real' wireless mouse they aren't bluetooth.
Err. Why is a Bluetooth mouse not 'reAl' wireless? I see no wires before me?
normal wireless mice don't use the bluetooth protacol for transmission and need a dedicated receiver. A bluetooth mouse will work with any bluetooth receiver (whether embedded or dongle).
Without any wires....
Got it thanks ...yes I've been confusing my wireless with my wifi..
