Bluetooth mouse for Gateway FX laptops

Has anyone used a Bluetooth mouse for the FX and if so which one and how does it work(especially on games). It seems to me a good idea no cords and save a usb port. Ive seen some mixed reviews of bluetooth mice elsewere, just wanted to know if anyone with an fx has used one.

i think it will be ok,but for serious gaming you should buy corded one.

 

Ive been using a cordless for a while and it's very fast. A microsoft with 100dpi. I just want to know if anyone has used the bluetooth equivolent and what kind of luck they have with it. Good or bad.

I have tries wireless mouse's for gaming and found the corded to be better also. I use the logitech G5, and the Razer Lachesis, both are very good, I like the G% the best.

 

Wireless mice, bluetooth or otherwise, can sometimes "drop" connections or suffer momentary lag. This can be detrimental to gameplay for obvious reasons. If you intend to play competitively or very high paced games, you are better off with a wired mouse. If you don't mind the possibility of occasional dropped connections, you'll be fine with a wireless model.

 

using a microsoft presenter 8000 bluetooth mouse. seems ok. been using it for quite some time gaming. no real issues, except for loss of signal when batteries are dead.

 

I absolutely love my Logitech MX 5500 keyboard/mouse combo. I just use the mouse most of the time though. The only game I play is World of Warcraft so I don't have any need for 557,000dpi/energy drinks/Mountain Dew/cave-like room in parents house/up all night without a girlfriend/etc. I use uberoptions to assign different key strokes to the buttons/wheels.

I haven't had any problems with dropping on either wireless or bluetooth. Right now on my laptop I'm using the Logitech V470 bluetooth and it is really good. It's smaller than your usual mouse, in a nod to the portability that is probably one of the main reasons people are looking at bluetooth mice. Nevertheless, it still feels unusually good in my large hands. I'm usually very picky about mice and like them huge. If you look on Amazon, there's a guy who did a video review on it that is short but will give you an idea whether you would like it or not.

Watch out that you get the thing you want. Sometimes it's very hard to tell from reading ads and product descriptions whether they are wireless or bluetooth, and whether or not they have/need dongles plugged into your USB port to work.

 

I use my MOGO when I'm gaming at work. Works great but I wouldn't use it for gaming against other people.
