    Yes, if your computer had a bluetooth card or pen drive you would be able to use bluetooth devices with it without additional hardware.
    For gaming, I would recommend the Logitech MX series, in particular the MX900, which is bluetooth. However, there are most likely plenty of noteworthy competitors out there.

    Also, you might take a look at the Targus rechargeable Bluetooth laser mouse. Looks like a good product-mine's on the way!

    The MX Revolution is a good mouse, although the DPI is a bit on the low side, and it doesn't have DPI adjustment buttons which some FPS players love to have. It's a mouse more geared to professionals than gamers.

    There doesn't seem like theres to many bluetooth mice, theres only 12 on the entire newegg site.

    I'll put in another vote for the VX though, the dpi is a bit low for gaming but its a damn fine mouse for doing everything else.

    For gaming I'd probably just get a corded G5 or Razor and a good slick mousepad. Friction and lag is your enemy when gaming ;)
