Up for review today we have the Bluetake BT500 Bluetooth mouse and BT009X Bluetooth adapter. Now, looking at the name Bluetake and their logo, one might think that they are ripping Thermaltake off of it's copyrights. Rest assured, this is not so. Bluetake is the part of Thermaltake which is devoted to making Bluetooth products. Read on to see if this product from Bluetake is worth considering or if it's a product you, the consumer, should shy away from.
Here we have the BT500 and BT009X packaged together. This bundle sells for about $75. Bluetake in a smart move also sell the BT500 by itself for those users interested in the BT500, but do not need the BT009X adapter. The BT500 packaged by itself sells for about $60.

The first thing I noticed about the BT500 is how small it is. Here it is in comparison to a US quarter.

Wow, that is small. I've got fingers longer than this mouse.

And here is the BT009X Bluetooth adapter. It's roughly the size of a USB thumbdrive. I like house this receiver is setup so that it just plugs right into the USB port and does not have a wire from a USB plug to a receiver like the receiver with my Logitech Cordless Elite Duo.
