One of my favorite technology toys is the mouse for my laptop. It's one of the best designed devices I have. It's small, but not too small, and fits comfortably in my hand (a previous laptop mouse went back to the store because, among other problems, it was too small to comfortably use). The top of the mouse has your standard left and right buttons, as well as a roller in the middle for easy scrolling. So far, all pretty standard.
The best part is when you flip the mouse over. The USB connector, which allows the mouse to wirelessly communicate with the laptop, has a docking port on the bottom where it not only fits snuggly into the mouse so it doesn't get lost, it also turns the mouse off. Nice way to not drain the batteries.
Other nice features: the mouse turns off after a short amount of time, again not to drain the batteries. Just click on one of the buttons when you want to use it again, and it wakes back up. There's also a small light on the top which tells you when your battery is getting low. No wondering why the mouse is acting strange (as mine was this morning - light told me it was out of juice.)
