    hey everyone, so i just got a T410 and im looking into mobile mice. I own a razer deathadder for my desktop and love it, so id like to go razer again.

    Im looking at the proclick mobile, and the orochi. has anyone used either or even both? what would you reccomend? is the the orochi worth the extra 30 bucks?

    In terms of gaming, starcraft 2, cs, and warcraft 3 are pretty much the extent of what id be doing on it.

    thoughts?

    The proclick mobile is pretty bad. I bought it from woot for 20 bucks, and well you get what you pay for. It will unpair itself from your bluetooth pretty often, sometimes at the worst times. Each time it disconnects you have to go through the pairing process again, which is pretty unacceptable for a wireless device. I don't even get why Razer thought it was good enough to put their name on it.

    oh really? i had read some good reviews but it did seem too good to be true. looks like im heading for an orochi.

    just out of curiosity, has anyone used a bluetooth laptop mouse thats as solid and good for gaming as the orochi? for even cheaper maybe?

    actually ive decided to diverge from razer and go more the route of ultimate trackability, this brings me to two mice:

    Microsoft Mobile Mouse 4000 ($25 on ebay)
    Logitech Anywhere MX (45$ on newegg after rebate)

    has anyone used both of these? I know the darkfield tracking is superior, allowing for use on glass, but can the bluetrack really do everything BUT glass? such as carpet, couches, pillows, etc?

    essentially is the anywhere mx worth 20 more bucks?

    Ive tried both in the store, and while I found the 4000 more comfertable, I was still fine with the anywhere mx.
