    Hey guys!

    I'm looking to get rid of all my cables surrounding my MBP, so I'd guess a bluetooth mouse would do the trick.

    I've tried the Apple Mighty Mouse - the wireless one, and god damnit it lagged like hell! It's just stupid. I like to play a game or two also, so I need a bluetooth mouse that would not lag. Something like a wired one.

    Is there anything like that out there?

    I was looking at some Logitech and Microsoft ones, but there's no response time in the specifications, or anything about lag.

    Also, if anyone has the Kensington Si670, can you tell me if it lags at all? Because if it doesn't, I think I'm gonna buy it tomorrow from an Apple Store.

    Cheers! :D

    My Microsoft Laser Mouse 8000 Bluetooth doesn't lag, and has not given me a single problem.

    I play a lot of games with it, and notice no difference compared to a wired mouse or an RF receiver mouse.

    Its just the right mouse for me as well because i always find notebook mice too small.

    I use a logitech v470 bluetooth mouse, I don't seem to find any lag with it even though the mouse itself is quite small though, probably not the best one for gaming

    I am currently using a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook (Laser) Mouse 5000 and it works perfectly - no lag whatsoever.

    I am looking to get rid of it, however, for a completely different reason altogether: it's too small for my ginormous hands! Apparently, most BT mice and most notebook mice are small so now I am looking for a non-BT, non-notebook wireless mouse. Just thought you should know that. :)

    Regards,
