This might or might not be important to you. For me it is essential because I do CAD and use the middle mouse button (click scroll wheel) constantly for my software that recognizes "middle mouse button".

Works perfectly, there is even a some code out there to get battery-status under linux - it works... maybe it will sometime integrated into powerdevil or battery applet :) (but since the vx nano runs more than 3 months with the same battery... it's "nearly" useless ^^) I have a VX Nano, too, working under KDE4/Gentoo.

Works like a charm. After spending so much time on my laptop, I press left and right to middle click, so the odd behavior of the scroll wheel isn't a problem. Just bought a VX Nano.

All I can say is to get the VX. The scrollwheel is worth anything. best mice I have ever used. I have a VX revolution, a slightly larger version of the VX nano (big hands).

I am still going to check out the other 2 for comfortability in my hand, but I think I will eventually end up with the VX Nano. I had it in my hand last night at Tiger Direct, but the lines were so long that I just put it back on the shelf. Thanks a ton everyone, you totally rock! @kihbord: Ya, I was looking at blue tooth mice as well, but the bluetooth stack broke bluetooth in KDE 4 for the time being. I have a bluetooth mouse at work that I have had nothing but problems with in Kubuntu and Ubuntu. It keeps disconneting itself therefore causing me to have to repair the mouse and the laptop.
