    Best bluetooth mouse i have used is Logitech V470
    Battery last month/ good size for portability and feels good in hand
    no lag too.

    G700 is best mouse though and can be wired or wireless but require usb dongle and it's a little bigger mouse

    I loved my Logitech V270... until the left button died after about 4 years of use. I wanted at least forward & back buttons on my next mouse, so the V470 was not an option for me. I tried the Razor Orochi & hated the sharp edges, felt it was too small & was going crazy dealing with it going to sleep after only a few seconds of inactivity.

    Despite its small size, I ended up settling for the Dell bluetooth travel mouse as my primary mouse because my wife had been using one for years without a single issue. They're normally $24.99, but will occasionally be on sale for as low as $14.99. We now have 3 of the Dell bluetooth travel mouse in various colors that are 2-4 years old with absolutely no issues. I occasionally use my wired Alienware TactX mouse when gaming, but usually just use the little Dell & notice very little difference in the games I play. Definitely not enough of a difference to warrant the additional expense for the TactX.

    If they still made the full size version of the mouse that was in the Dell Bluetooth keyboard & mouse combo, I would have bought that instead. Our combo is nearing 5 years old without an issue.

    There are many "which bluetooth mouse is best" threads in the accessories subforum that might be able to provide additional information for you.

    Good luck!

    The Logitech G700 is not a Bluetooth mouse, it's a usb mouse.
    The best bluetooth gaming mouse is the Razer Orochi, it's a good sized mouse for portability, comes with a protective bag and can be run wired/wireless.

    V470 do have back/forward buttons :)
    There are 5 customized buttons (left click/right click/scroll click/right scroll click/left scroll click) seems unfriendly on paper but it's smooth and flawless, G700 carry the same function too scroll side clicks.

    I am in the same conundrum as you, as my laptop also comes with Bluetooth 3.0.

    The problem is most "Bluetooth mice" available now are Bluetooth 2.0. Thus, I would wait until Bluetooth 3.0 mice become more mainstream [some are now starting to become avail in Japan]. BT 3.0 mice are supposed to be very competitive to USB wireless mice.
    Planex introduced a new Bluetooth 3.0 Wireless Mouse with improved power management Akihabara News

    But if you need it now, the above posters have listed some good BT mice.

    Good luck

    Logitech M705.

    Great range as I often hook computer to TV from desk and just use the mouse to stop, play, or pause movies from about 20 feet away.

    Still using original batteries and its been over 5 months.

    Agreed - thanks for redirecting...

    Folks, please check the other areas of NBR before posting here asking about mice, memory, HDDs/SSDs, keyboards, coolers, etc.

    Thanks.
