Mice

We would like a wireless mouse that plugs into the mouse port and can also be used as a laserpointer.

If you want a full function mouse and a laserpointer, then it will be fairly large.

There is also the question of whether it plugs into the mouse port or the serial port.

The advantage of plugging in to the mouse port is that mouse ports usually 'just work', whereas serial ports seem to require fooling around with. Serial port mice also usually require special software
