    I'm buying a laptop that will be heavily used for gaming, but I know I don't want to use the built in keyboard/pointing device while playing games. The Laptop I'm looking at (Dell 9300) has an option for built in bluetooth.

    I also don't want to have a huge tangle of cords, since I will be having to put it up while not in use. (Basically, every time I use it, I'd have to get it and all accessories out, and then put them back up when done.) I'm hoping to only need a power cord, and thats all.

    But Will a Bluetooth mouse/kb be responsive enough to use for gaming? I've never used any sort of wireless mouse/kb, and I wanted to make sure that the responsiveness would be enough to use for gaming.

    Thanks for any advice.

    I don't game much with mine, but I have no lag issues with my Kensington Pocket Mouse on my T42.

    Never seen any lag in four different sets I've used, I think you'll be fine.
