    I've been using the Logitech mx518 for about 4 years and have recently started to lust after the Razer Orochi, especially for its wirelessness. I was thinking about buying this for my girl since I spilled whiskey on her keyboard and broke the touchpad, but it's 80 bucks and I think I was just making an excuse to buy myself a new mouse. Last I checked, gaming mice were vastly superior to other mice in every way, including build quality, which is a feature very important to me outside of gaming. So does anyone have first-hand ;) experience with a nice bluetooth mouse that wouldn't scare my girlfriend or my wallet like the Orochi?

    Hey!

    and....LoL...I was..and am going to link, my post from that thread! ;)

    Here!
    LINKY

    I use 3 out of the 4 mice listed:
    The MS Bluetooth 5000; The Logitech M555B; and the Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse. All of them are great mice.

    And, right now that Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse is on sale for $14.99. Get 2 of them and its free shipping + 20% Bing Cashback into your pocket. :)

    Out of all 3, I would have to say it would be a tossup between the Logitech M55B, and the Dell B.Tooth Travel Mouse!

    I like my Lenovo Thinkpad Bluetooth mouse. It is solid, has the right weight and I really just love it. It will works with any machine that has bluetooth, but design wise it is made to go with a Thinkpad, as it is all black and has "Thinkpad" written on it. If that doesn't bother you , then go for it. It goes for $40 to $50 and you can buy it from Lenovo's site. Check it out Here.

    +1 for the Dell Bluetooth mouse. It's cheap, small and portable.

    Another vote for the Dell 5-button mouse. Quite comfortable despite its size, and who the hell doesn't want thumb buttons?

    I love my Sony bluetooth mouse. Never had a problem with it for the last ten months. A popup keeps coming up on my laptop and says less than 1% battery life left. That started 6 days ago and I still haven't had to change the batteries. I've only changed them 2 times since I've had it and I never remember to shut it off at night. :p

    Dell 5 button bluetooth travel mouse!! It comes in all colors!
    Grab some energizer lithium AA's to power it-you will really notice the weight difference from alkaline, not to mention the insane runtime-My lithiums lasted ~1yr.

    The mouse4/5 buttons are placed PERFECTLY on the travel mouse. It's very usable with both large and small hands.
