Bluebooth Mouse

What are the PROS and CONS of a Bluetooth mouse?
and what bluetooth mouse would you guys recommend?

 

Pros

handy
clean/cable free
no dongles

cons

lag (especially in gaming)

 

yeahh thats what people told me too.. they told me that bluetooth mice lag really bad...

do you know any decent bluetooth mouse? i won't be using it to play games, i have another mouse for that..

 

Lag should not be bad if it is only regular use

Check out the logitech series, they are probably the msot popular currently for their ease of use, build quality and comfort

 

if you are using it on a notebook (stupid thing to assume on this site right?) then get a mogo mouse. it is awesome.

 

Do they lag any more then a regular wireless mouse?

 

not for normal use. but bluetooth is slower then usb

 

Hey there!

I use the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000, on my 1530..I don't really game at all (though starting a bit) And, this mouse works great for me. It's great for when on the desktop, or out-and-about!

It has been a very reliable mouse Nice, small and portable! This mouse is quick, and I like it much better than other types, that I have used!

And, the pricing on it right now...is really good.

Check it! Here's the linky for yah!

Bluetooth lag is overrated. I have used a good number of bluetooth mouse (all Logitechs) and the lag is not noticeable at all. The only "lag" happens when first moving the mouse after it goes into power save. There is half second before it starts up again.

p.s. The only BT I didnt like was the V270. I use a V470 now.

 

i have the same mouse and am very pleased. The battery life sucks, especially if you forget to turn it off. but other then that its great. I also dont notice this "lag" people speak of.

 

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm glad to hear that Bluetooth lag is overrated.

The people who kept telling me about Bluetooth lag were from a gaming forums, so I guess that's why

 

I am also looking for a new bluetooth mouse my new HP DV7T (on order). If you want a full-sized mouse, the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 bluetooth mouse has had some good reviews

The OEM version can be found here for a reasonable price

V470, don't notice any lag, great battery life, over 5 months of daily use

 

I have the Kensington Bluetooth Slimblade Trackball mouse and I really like it a lot.

I also have the Logitech V470, but I don't really like the shape of it. It works fine... I just find it a little uncomfortable to use.

 

Have any of you guys used a Razer Pro Click Mobile Mouse??
Is it a bluetooth gaming mouse??

 

I also have the v470, and I really enjoy it. Lag is highly exaggerated, and the feature set is excellent. Only thing I notice is that you need the Logitech software running to use all of the features (I think it uses like 12MB of RAM, no biggie).

The only reason I don't like Microsoft peripherals is because I also use Linux, and sometimes drivers are a bit of a pain (I don't know with mice, but my MS webcam was a bear).
