    so what mouse do you all use for gaming on the go with your m11x?

    do you still use a full size or compact one, corded, wireless, bluetooth, the trackpad?

    just curious to see what everyone uses with their m11x when not sitting at a desktop and whether they like it or not.

    Razer imperator. Awesome , and way smaller than other gaming mouse like Deathadder or else.

    I use to have an Orochi , but it dies in two days , and after 2 days playing with it , it's far from confortable ( while being the most confortable portable mouse i've ever had )

    I asked for a full refund , and i now use a corded mouse , a bit bigger , but so much confortable.

    Razer Deathadder 3500 dpi corded mouse + Razer Lycosa when I'm plugged into the external display. Absolutely love this Razer mouse (my old one was a Diamondback 3G)

    G9x is great, the price in Australia isn't though - $200 RRP from Logitech.com. Ebay was my friend in acquiring mine :)

    I use the Razer Orochi; had it for awhile and no issues. Usually just use it plugged in though, for better polling rates. I have small hands, well, normal girl-size hands anyway. :p I could see where it wouldn't feel right if they were bigger.

    I switch off between the logitech G9x and the Razer mamba. Both fantastic mice though.

    Razer Orochi. A bit small, but more portable than my R.A.T.7. Oh, and I use the Orochi in wired mode when gaming. but it's a great wireless mouse for everything else!

    Gaming is about 5.16% of the use of my M11xR1.

    Another vote for the Logitech Anywhere MX mouse.

    Also use the Logitech M950 Performance mouse when my M11xR1 gets close to my Desktop PC. (Unifying USB receiver)

    MS Sidewinder X5, poopy mouse by my gaming standards - Spec and feel wise, but i am on a tight budget, 15£ for a new one on ebay.

    Huge and uncomfortable until you get used to it + sometimes mouse skips + the mouse click is loud and cheap + has 2 buttons that do nothing + The whole shell feels cheap and empty + the box with weights and extra plastic pad things seriously stink (like rotting dead animal stink).

    Anyone know of which mouses have a refined quiet feel like ones on my m11x track pad itself? Had a no name one (lucky purchase) with this soft silent feel to it, comfy too, had to leave it behind... :(

    Anywhere MX all the way. Very portable, and tracking has no flaws for everyday use or light gaming on any surface.

    Razer Orochi in wired mode.

    The only thing I use my Alienware M11x for is portable gaming while I'm travelling for work (about 1 week per month). So 3 weeks my laptop is sitting there unused. Then I use it non-stop for a week as a gaming machine when I am in my hotel room at night.
