so those two dongles are a bit annoying, mostly because they're taking up two USB ports.

They're annoying on a desktop. On a laptop, they' just aren't going to get used unless you're at your desk. Of course, I've been using a laptop touch pad almost exclusively for nearly four years, so I don't really need one. Now, when they come out with a bluetooth wireless thumb trackball, I'll be first in line.
