    I hate cables and I'm used to lost pen drives. I already lost 2 mouse usb receivers so I can't get another one, I'll forget about it again and again.
    So I need a good wireless mouse for gaming. bluetooth is a good option. nano receivers it's ok too, it will be always connected to the notebook. Integrated receivers will work too, I never forget the mouse.

    Any suggestions for a good wireless mouse that fit this requirements?

    Wireless gaming mouse is a bit of an oxymoron, even if we're only talking about milliseconds of delay.

    I known it is. That's why I made the topic. to find the best one even if it's worse then a corded one.

    I've been looking for a logitech vx nano (nano receiver) and a logitech vx revolution (integrated receiver). Does anyone have any experience with them?

    I have the vx nano and It works great. I didn't notice a difference. Btw, my nao receiver stopped working after 2 month, but they sent me another one for free. The only thing I don't like is that the middle button isn't as easy to press as I like. I frequently open multiple tab in a web browser and it's something I miss about my old mouse.

    I tryed a vx nano today and I didn't like it very much... sure it's a nice mouse but it's a bit small for my hands. ofc it's to expect that from a notebook mouse.
    I guess I'll go for the vx revolution. it seams like a corded one size and design and I won't lose the receiver around because I can store the receiver inside the mouse. But I haven't tried a vx revolution yet.
    I dunno if there are any others mice to consider. I use to live in a corded world until recently :p

    check out the Razer MAMBA, best mouse ive owned, and im sure as hell it matches and excedes if not all, most wired gaming mice in terms of everything except its price.

    As far as wireless mice goes I really like my Logitech G7. However, the most annoying thing is the battery swaps at the most inopportune time. I don't use it for gaming anymore (use a G9 and a Steelseries Ikari Laser) but it was decent with no lag nonetheless.

    I'm currently using the G7 and have had it for a long time now. Can't go wrong with these mice (G9 also). I can honestly say that my precision in playing CSS was spot on and never experienced delay.

    I currently ordered the new Sony Vaio Bluetooth rechargeable mouse and it should be coming in today. Hopefully this will be just as good if not better.
