    Hi,

    I know this has been discussed a bit on these forums and others, but I was wondering how the current batch of Bluetooth and Wireless mice compare. Most of the comments I've found so far seem to refer to mice that are 2 or more years old.

    I'm in particularly interested in how the Logitech M555b would compare to the V550 Nano in terms of performance and battery power.

    I've been looking quite aggressively for extensive reviews of the M555b, but can't seem to find any yet.

    Do current generation Bluetooth mice still have more initial, operational delay than Wireless mice?

    Does anyone have any numbers to verify how Bluetooth mice compare to Wireless ones in terms of battery life?

    Also, what is the difference in laptop battery power consumption between Bluetooth and USB Wireless peripherals?

    Thanks!
