    Generally, ANY wireless/bluetooth mouse is not good for gaming when compared to wired ones. You can definitely feel the "lag" especially when playing fast paced games like FPSs.

    BT mouse tends to response slower than RF wireless mouse. I Had a BT mouse for a while and finally switched to a Logitech VX and it was a huge improvement.

    Wired>Wireless>Bluetooth thats how the chain works. If you need the performance say league player (me) then stick to wired, if you dont need killer performance and tracking etc go with wireless and If you dont game go bluetooth

    The Dell BT mouse used in the review with the m2010 was stated to be good enough for gaming. I have a VX, and it sucks bawls for gaming (it was never laggy up until a few weeks ago)
