    The logitech G700 is the only one that fits the bill i think. The Mamba and Naga epic both have docks. I was gonna suggest the orochi as a portable mouse, but you said not too small and that likely eliminates it.

    Just wondering if they works fine without dock eg , traveling? The epic looks great , but not really sure does it has "Forward & Back" button? I tested orochi but its just too small , bluetooth doesn't work really well.

    Unfortunately the Naga epic's dock also serves as the receiver and besides, while i don't like the shape of the G700 (i see to be the only one), it is built like a tank, has a mini receiver and you can wire it to charge without stopping to use it. Looking at pictures, the Naga's dock doesn't seem to be overly big though. With the Naga, you can either set the buttons to standard windows buttons so you'd have back and forward somewhere or to be the numpad. I'd try before buying though, Best Buy should has some Nagas on display, same for the G700.

    With the Mamba and Naga Epic, you can disconnect the USB cable from the dock and hook it up directly to the mouse so it would be wired when you travel. Obviously the cord would be carried separately. Other than that, the G700 is pretty much your only option if you absolutely have to remain wireless. You'd just have to swap out the battery when it gets low.

    Dimensions:

    Pyra -> 9.5cm x 6cm (LxW)
    Orochi -> 9,9 cm / 3.90” (Length) x 6,7 cm / 2.64” (Width) x 3,5 cm / 1.38” (Height)

    So, about the same size as the Orochi. The specs were taken from the manufacturer's website.

    One thing to be aware of with the Pyra: Like the Razer mice and G700, you can plug it in and still use it if your battery dies. However, the Pyra's USB cable only transmits power, not data. You would need to still have the wireless receiver plugged in to your computer, thus taking up two USB ports.

    Do you have something against the G700 aside from it's looks?

    Why don't you buy a different mouse for work and use the G700 for traveling purposes?
