  Why are some mice advertised as "Optical Mouse for Notebooks"

I'd like to buy a Logitech V320 cordless optical mouse, but I'd be using it
on a 22" LCD screen.
Would this make a difference in it's performance?

Most likely they are "for laptops" because of minuscule size and shorter
connecting cord
Uunless cordless, of course, there are some, usually bluetoothed, because RF
needs the "big receiver"

I, though, use a standard corded "MS Comfort Optical Mouse 3000", as I have
a big enough case for my 17" laptop
(and I feel most "laptop mice" are too small for my hand/grip

Sorry, forgot
There is NO other difference than size and length of cord

_Some_ of the laptop mice I've seen have higher resolution than
normal, the rationale being that you don't need as much desk space
since the cursor will move at a faster rate.

Usually the mice for notebooks are small for portability.  I have
large hands and find notebooks, cell phones, and some remote controls
awkward to use.   You should have no performance issues with a large
screen.
