    Hey guys, I'm looking for a good gaming bluetooth mouse. I know the MX5500 keyboard and mouse set has a bluetooth MX Revolution, but is the BT MX Rev sold seperately anywhere?

    It's not actually bluetooth, you need to use the USB.

    You do not need the dongle with the BT MX Revolution if you have built in BT. It is not sold separately though. They should.

    Only the bluetooth version does of course, but the more common model does not. I know you specified but majority of people do not know its not even listed on logitechs mouse page as its own.

    The model is M-RCL124 and I DO NOT see it anywhere by itself.

    i have an MX 620 Cordless Laser Mouse, which states in the spec sheet it has a 2.4GHz micro reciever, which from a quick google says its bluetooth, however i cant work out how to pair it with my internal bluetooth rather than the external USB dongle that came with it. anyone got any ideas?

    Its not bluetooth. Bluetooth operates on 2.4 Ghz but a hundred other techonologies do as well. Because of this bluetooth 3.0 is actually going to use wifi for file transfers.

    Quick google shows a logitech support specialist saying its not bluetooth - http://forums.logitech.com/logitech/board/message?board.id=hardware_mice&thread.id=10437

    ^^ Correct the MX 620 is a RF based cordless laser mouse, so you have to use the USB receiver for it to work.
