    Has anyone tried the Vaio Wireless bluetooth laser mice??
    I have a sony Z and I really want a small BT mouse.
    I do know that those mice are fullsize, anyone have an suggestions on a nice looking mouse for the Z?

    i ordered the BMS-10/S with my z order (to get a 15% disc). I have it brand new still in it's packaging I'm trying to sell it off so I don't want to open it. From what I tried (putting my hand on the mouse's contoured packaging) it didn't seem to fit my palm very nicely. People that have tried it may have a different opinion.

    And while I know you're looking for bluetooth, I would like to throw in a plug for the Logitech VX Nano mouse. It uses a usb receiver but that thing is so tiny and the mouse is probably the single most comfortable mouse that I have ever used. I use it for my netbook, laptop, and desktops.

    shop around i'm sure you can get it cheaper. it was $70 three years ago when it first came out.

    Hey thanks for the info, I don't really find that one attractive though. Being a vaio owner now means all my peripherals must look good :p

    don't forget 5% cashback with bing (I dont know if it's valid for canada though). If you do get that let me know how you like it...if it's good enough maybe I'll pull my ebay listing. It matches my z anyway (which is coming thursday!)

    If you do anything like gaming or CAD, lag/delay which seem to be an issue with most Bluetooth mice may be a problem for you.

    Does anyone know if wireless mice (those that use a USB receiver) also have these delay/lag issues?

    I use a BT mouse on my desktop and I have zero lag.
    I wouldn't really worry about that imho.
    As for radio wireless ones, I never had an issue with them either.

    What's your BT mouse? I was keen on getting the Razer Orochi, but then I checked reviews in forums and Amazon and there's so many complaints about lag.

    This is what i'm using.
    It comes with a Bluetooth Dongle. This doesn't really help you though as you are solely looking for a mouse.

    I am using the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 - OEM
    And no lag or issues.

    I had a It-works MBT01 Bluetooth Mouse and couldn't work with it because of the lag.

    It says it's "Bluetooth Standard Ver.2.0," so it is dongleless.

    I'm using a Logitech Bluetooth Mouse M555b with my vaio x. Works perfectly with integrated Bluetooth.

    After some period of inactivity, will the mouse lag very briefly as you move it again initially?

    When RSI flares up, I usually switch to trackballs. I wonder how different the two are. I'm thinking: just like trackballs, the smartfish can't be used for gaming either...
