    I've been a Logitech fan for a while. So, I have a new xps 1330 with bluetooth, and I want to decide on a mouse. I'm probably going to end up buying the v470 and trying it our versus the nano. I already have the nano coming since it was on sale at staples. So, I prefer the looks of the nano. But I prefer the lack of a dongle (even if it is small) with the 470.

    The bluetooth card on the 1330 is in the upper left hand corner of the machine, and I use a mouse on the right side. I'm concerned about all the lag, skipping, and reception issues I hear about with bluetooth. But if they performed the same, I would rather be without the dongle.

    So, if you use the 470, and occasionally play a game here or there (hl2, maybe cs:s) can you tell me how it does?

    Also, just let me know which you would choose and why.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    I was looking at both, and I went with the Nano. I'm sure the v470 works fine, but I really didn't want to risk any Bluetooth issues. I'm not much of a gamer, but playing games with my Nano was fine.

    The nano just seems more feature packed than the v470, and it seems to have more features. I don't notice the dongle at all.
