Imagine a world where all short range wireless devices work under
one solid standard. That is exactly what Bluetooth is designed
to do. Bluetooth is a short range wireless standard that is replacing
past generations of
wireless standards like RF and infrared. What makes Bluetooth special?
Among other things, is it is one standard; therefore, one adapter
can handle multiple Bluetooth devices.

Bluetake's
BT500 bluetooth mouse is shaped like a pear and made of white plastic. For
those who prefer something besides white, the BT500 bluetooth mouse also comes
in blue. The top of the bluetooth mouse is shinny and smooth with the usual
two buttons and a scroll wheel on the front. The bottom of the
mouse has soft velvety texture and features four round Teflon
feet, optical
cutout, on/off switch, and a grey pairing button. As seen
from the dimensions, Bluetake's BT500 is a very small bluetooth mouse. For those
with big hands, this may not be the mouse for you. But the small
size does make it the perfect laptop mouse.
