    bumping old thread, looking for (non-pro fps) gaming mouse that works on standard bluetooth, ie no extra usb receiver.

    haha i dont think the words BLUETOOTH and GAMING go together. The best mouse i could suggest is the MX Revolution "Bluetooth Version", but it only comes as part of the MX5500 Keyboard+Mouse combo package from logitech. People say that the MX Revolution is pretty good at handling games, although nothing compared to a true gaming mouse such as the G5, G9 or deathadder.

    also, realized from your other thread that you dont mind micro receivers. Then of course, the best choice for you is the Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse. I remember it had great deals, going as low as 40USD for one of them beautiful notebook mouses.

    ok cheers, i get the message. i dont think the mouse i want exists yet. the nano is good with small dongle, but doesnt have any extra buttons. Razer Mamba is the dogs wotsits but i cannot find a pic of the dongle (anybody) I assume it is big. maybe just go wired. i want to replace my old faithful MX510 as pads have worn out and was hoping to use built in bluetooth and free myself of wires. keep looking for now.

    would be good except for dongle. i just know that would be broken or lost when carrying around. micro one for nano is good but mouse is too basic for gaming. i dont think the mouse i want exists. the original idea was to get rid of wires and use built in blue tooth. am looking at wired again, prob the logitech gx9 (or razer deathadder)

    I use the Dell Bluetooth 5-button Travel Mouse:

    http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=330-1823

    It's an excellent all around mouse, and one of the few BT mice with 5 buttons. Good comfortable fit too.

    Also, this IOGEAR Bluetooth laser mouse, also with 5 buttons, and they specifically mention gaming as one of its strong points, though I have no personal experience with this one. Adjustable DPI up to 1600, which is pretty good for a Bluetooth mouse, and recharges via USB:

    Get the G9X, you will not be disappointed. I currently use a previous generation G9, and it's fantastic. The G9X is even better. ;)

    haha well if your are getting it for portability then the best mouse would be the G5/Deathadder. I just recieved the new Mamba, it is a desktop mouse, with a big*** charging dock. Definitely not portable. But the deathadder is a good design usb mouse with 5buttons and excellent at gaming. It has been seen for as low as 40usd in someplaces. I cant recomend the G9, its either LOVE IT or HATE IT. IMO, i hate it, the ergonomics are weird and it costs 100USD, where i could just spend less and get a Deathadder that would be better.

    ok, thanks for advise guys,
    "Get the G9X, you will not be disappointed"
    "I cant recomend the G9"
    where there was doubt, now there is only confusion :rolleyes: :confused:
    looked for the iogear but could not find a customer review for it anywhere so doubtfull about that one. will have to order online as very limited selection here in middle east so will keep checking this weekend. maybe buy razer deathadder just for the cool name :D

    if you look for wireless gaming mouse and have >100(well, you need at least 100) to spend, ms sidewinder x8 and razer mamba are the (only) choice.

    if not, lachesis, g9 are both good choice, depend if you like the feel of it

    If I were going for a wireless gaming grade mouse, I would get the G7, but either way, this thread is about Bluetooth mice, not corded or USB wireless.

    aww nobody suggested the Microsoft Sidewinder X8? 2.4GHz Wireless, 250-4000DPI, Microsoft Bluetrack Technology, 13,000 FPS, 1NiMH AA Battery and includes a recharger that's a cable making your wireless mouse a wired one during charging :)

    well coming back again, i still think that for wired DA is the best. Get it with the Destructor gaming pad, which i have and to say its the prolly the best mat out there. You will love it. The G9, you need to experience it b4 you buy it. Around 3 months ago i was all set on buying a G9x, cuz it was recieving great reviews but then i found out about the Mamba and im like HELL YEA i need that. But anyways, try find the G9 mouse and see if you like it. Its good for claw grippers but horrid for palmers, where the DA shines.

    if OSD for dpi adjustment works on every game, DA(fyi deathadder) isn't too bad

    i bought lachesis for the reason it has 2 dedicated dpi buttons and plus 2 more on the right side for everyday use, in game the right buttons are too inconvenient to even be bothered.

    pointless to talk about dpi, i doubt it makes a difference until full HD+ for 3200/4000
