    A mobile gamer just like the name says. Im looking for a wireless mouse thats good/decent for gaming. I have BT on my lappy so I was looking into the

    Microsoft 72R-00002S 4 Buttons Bluetooth Wireless Laser Notebook Mouse 5000

    Does anyone know if thats a good bluetooth mouse? Im not a hardcore gamer so I was just asking around whats a decent bluetooth mouse for gaming. Any reccomendations on the mouse stated or any others would be appreciated. Thanks.

    MX518
    Razer

    wired >> wireless

    Gaming wise... wired are generally preferred.

    Though... I do awe my friends a lot in things like CS and TF2... XD

    "*** IS THAT A CRAPPY NOTEBOOK WIRELESS MOUSE YOU JUST HS ME WITH?"

    It gets many lulz. :D

    If you're going wireless... I actually think the VX Revolution would be a solid choice. :D

    if your a hardcore gamer ( post says your not ) then go for a wired one, I go with logitech g9

    Before that I had a wireless mouse but its not bluetooth.the Vx revolution, great mouse..buttons are responsive..good quality, and the usb stick is maybe and inch long and slides right into the mouse when your not using it.

    FPS games = definately wired

    anything else, you should be fine with a wireless...

    but wired is your best bet

    Check out the Steelseries Ikari mice. I picked one up at Quakecon this past year and I have been loving it ever since.

    The G7 is a good wireless gaming mouse. If you don't mind the battery swaps at inopportune times. My Ikari replaced my G7 on my gaming desktop and is now in service on my cad desktop. Personally speaking, for a laptop the G7 is kind of redundant since the usb receiver/battery charger is cabled and...you get the picture. :)

    im runnin with a G5 that i got at a futurshop or bestbuy, an open box for like 30$. And i wouldn't trade it for the world :p call me old fashion but mouses that look like fighter ships of like snakes don't seem too too comfy and easily controllable.

    I got a bluetooth logitech v470 wireless mouse. It's quite good for the gaming I use it for, but I'm not close to what you would call hard-core.

    had a wireless mouse.

    my conclusion: dont get one.


    why? Lag , mouse glitches, mouse just stops working sometimes.

    I didnt pay a light price for my wireless logi either....i spent a 70$ on that bad boy.


    Now i have the Logitech G5 Gaming mouse.

    BEST MOUSE I HAVE EVERRRRR OWNNNNED.


    Headshots percentage = a good 10% increase :)

    + NO LAG!
