Is there such a thing? I've heard some good things about the MX1000 BT, but it's only 800dpi! That's rediculous because they claim to have 20 times better tracking etc than optical, but the dpi is the same as a standard corded optical!
Should I be looking at a different model or is the MX1000 the best wireless bluetooth has to offer?

MX1000 is laser, so it has better tracking on surfaces other than mouse pads than optical, which can skip. Who really needs more than 800 dpi?
Edit: Look at some online reviews of it... google mx1000 reviews. You should find your answer! -

My Microsoft Wireless Optical Notebook Mouse 3000 has 1000 dpi. You might want to try that. It's pretty good.

Logitech® V270 Cordless Optical Notebook Mouse for Bluetooth..........1000-dpi.

800 dpi is more than good enough for any kind of motion tracking...in fact...it overkill.

The MX1000 tracks on just about everything, even clean glass. I don't think you should look exclusively to DPI for your mouse. The laser tracks well, which is truly what matters.

How are tracking and DPI different? Wouldnt a higher dpi track better/more? How long does the bluetooth MX1000 last on battary? Can you use the MX1000 for gaming... Counterstrike or other FPS games?

I have the original Mx1000 (2 of them) and they last for quite a while, I often times don't charge it for over a week and the battery meter is still full (that is several hours of use per day). Again this isn't bluetooth, but the mouse works great for games. I play FEAR with mine all the time, and I have never noticed lag from the mouse. Also, DPI doesn't always mean better. Think about things like digital cameras, you can have 50 million megapixels, but bad optics will render that useless. You want a mouse that can track on most any surface and is comfortable to use. Once you have good tracking, you can adjust settings to get it to perform exactly to your liking. The idea behind the laser mouse is to get to a smaller level of accuracy. The original optical mouse basically took a picture every X amount of time, compared two pictures, and used the difference in the pictures to discren movement. Think of this like seeing the grain on the desk as if you had used a camera. For the MX1000 and other laser mice, the idea is to see the actual variations in the wood or whatever surface. They can track on glass because they can see the disruptions in the surface.
My reccomendation is that you get one and try it, if you don't like it, just return it. -
Which is going to perform better, Bluetooth or RF? I'm thinking of just ordering a refurbished MX5000 Keyboard and MX1000 Mouse, both bluetooth enabled off of ebay.
Higher than 800dpi Bluetooth mouse??
