    I want to buy a bluetooth mouse for my laptop, and many of the ones I have researched have lag issues and wakeup time issues everyone is complaining about.

    Anyone that can suggest a good bluetooth mouse, one that can connect directly with the built in bluetooth so I dont have to use their usb plug in.

    Without lag, and a good design, I hate the tiny tiny laptop mouses prefer full size.

    Thanks.

    I use the Dell 5-button Bluetooth Travel Mouse. It's a comfortable size and ambidextrous shape.

    If you want to spend a bit more, the new Razer Orochi is the absolute king of Bluetooth mice, with a 4,000 DPI laser and optional USB wired mode.

    For the record, no Bluetooth mouse actually requires you to use the included dongle. Even if it comes with one, you can easily connect the mouse to your laptop's internal Bluetooth module.

    I have the Logitech M555b BT Mouse, and it feels great in my hands.. in no way does it feel like a *tiny mouse*!

    There are no real lag or wake issues with this one! And, the hyper-fast scrolling on this baby is sweet!! The connectivity to the BT from the Mouse to your Internal BT, on your lappy is fast and quick, as it should be!

    Here it is at amazon:

    I also have the Dell BT Travel Mouse that Mastershroom has, and it's a great BT Travel Mouse! :)

    I have the Radtech BT600. Works great other then the issue with Vista not wanting to reconnect with it when the mouse or the laptop go to sleep. Just have to remove it from the bluetooth list and then re-add it. But the BT600 is the fullsize one they have and from my uses it has no lag issues. What lead me to this one is that it has 5 buttons.

    I'll probably be putting it on ebay though because the Vista problem is a real annoyance for me.

    EDIT: Forgot the link for ya.

    thx for all the help guys! :)

    Ended up ordering the Razer Orochi.

    I was expecting it to be rechargable since it comes with a usb mode to plug in and play, but no!

    Seems stupid and when I asked them about it they said because making it rechargable could be hazerdous!?!?!?!

    What about all the other wireless rechargable mice they sell?

    :p

    Awesome choice enanthate, I've been looking at one aswell (for taking out and about). By the looks of reviews and such it's a pretty good mouse.

    Mind giving us your (and anyone else on NBR that owns one) opinion?

    Probably because the rechargeable Mamba is meant to stay put for the most part, while the Orochi is made to be tossed into backpacks and hauled around.

    Good choice, btw. You can always use rechargeable batteries.

    Hmm, I use a Sony Vaio VGP-BMS33 Bluetooth mouse and I have no problems with regards to lag or wake up problems.
