    Anyone have any suggestions. I would like to spend around $60.00 U.S. and am planning on using it for gaming.

    Are there any rechargable models out there?

    In my experience, i havent found any decent bluetooth mice at all, let alone one for gaming.

    The only one i can think of that might do a decent job is the logitech MX900.

    its not $60 though LOL

    Bluetooth mice may not offer the best performance for gaming. It would be prudent to consider wireless (gaming) mice, such as the Logitech G7.

    not true - i use a microsoft laser 8000 bluetooth mouse and everything is peachy lol. get hardly any lag from it and no delay either. Perfect for playing games and precision stuff too

    p.s. comes with a rechargeable battery and charging dock

    I researched this very mouse, and the reviews were, generally, less then stellar. Actually, after reading those reviews on this particular mouse, I decided against Bluetooth mouses (mice?) altogether...

    But, I have never actually tried this unit. But dealing with all the dropout and resynching issues I read about was enough to scare me away from trying it personally.

    if u game, stick with corded. in fact, stick with the mx518 the g1 came with, it's one of the best gaming mouse out there.
