    So I've got quite a bit of money in Dell gift cards to spend and I need a mouse for my m1530.

    It will be used both for regular usage as well as gaming so I need the mouse to be comfortable and usable for gaming purposes ie it needs good resolution/tracking ability.

    It needs to be Bluetooth as well, so I looked on Dell's EPP site under bluetooth mice and I only found a few, so I was wondering which one of these would be the best fitting these criteria? I was kind of surprised to see how tiny the selection is. I mean they only have one Logitech mouse listed, and it's a nasty bright blue color.

    #1 - Dell http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...ail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=eep&cs=2234&sku=430-2459
    #2 - Microsoft http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...ail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=eep&cs=2234&sku=A0745988
    #3 - Microsoft http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...ail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=eep&cs=2234&sku=A0804431

    Thanks.

    One thing to note is bluetooth and gaming is an oxymoron, generally wireless and gaming is an oxymoron. The mouse cin has posted I have heard many great things about ;)

    Good lord #3 is huge ... it looks more like a Desktop mouse than anything else. Sure, it'll work on your laptop -- but it's dimensions look pretty large.

    I like the Dell BT mouse; I've never used one of their BT mice, but I've used a wired mouse design from Dell and they feel good in my hand. Much better design than their old cheap-o Logitech mice they used to ship with their computers.

    Personally, as others said - if you game I wouldn't do bluetooth either it's not nearly as responsive as a wired mouse. It's fine for me.

    I have a Microsoft bluetooth mouse for Notebooks that I use with my notebook and when my notebook is connected to my external monitor, it's a small little guy. Got it for $49 with a $10 rebate that I never turned in :(.

    Sharp little mouse IMHO.

    Bluetooth is nowhere near as responsive as most current games require... unless you just like to re-spawn.... :eek:

    Well looks like I should get 2 mouses then. One bluetooth one for when I'm on the road at school and such, and then another (wired I guess?) for when it's parked at home and I'm firing up TF2 or something like that.
