    Is there such thing? I'm looking for a wireless gaming mouse to use in conjunction with my, yet to arrive, m1530.

    I've looked at the logitech g7, but I've heard that the receiver is quite large to use with a notebook. Any thoughts? Suggestions?

    Every wireless mouse I've tested so far has had latency issues when compared to wired gaming models. :(

    Oxymoron- wireless gaming mouse.

    Right now, stay with wired, but you never know... technology is progressing quickly.

    for me the normal dell mouse that came with my desktop 4 yrs ago works well for any games that i play on the desktop im on and its wireless. though, i guess for rly pro gamers, stick with wired and arent u supposed to stick with ur Dtop for gaming? wireless mice work well as long as there is no interference and im sitting about 5-7 ft from the wireless in my room and nothing happens to my mouse. only downside is the batteries with wireless.

    In games like UT3, CS:S, CoD4, etc. I could tell a difference between my Microsoft Wireless Notebook mouse, and my Logitech G5.

    the receiver for the g7 isn't really that big. i use the g7 and the receiver is pretty small. if you wanted to you could just use the usb dongle instead of using the whole receiver, except that your battery would never charge.
