    I'm not sure I know what you're after. They're all going to have power management that conserves battery. You don't want to wait that few seconds while it reconnects with your machine?

    I like having my mouse on all the time so i can use it whenever. I was going to buy the logitech v200 for that very reason. I have bluetooth in the laptop ive ordered and was wondering if there was a bluetooth mouse like that?

    If not i'll just stick to the v200 i had in mind.

    how long a wait are you talking about? the bluetooth MX1000 goes to sleep after like 10-15 minutes, takes a few seconds to reconnect. so not a huge problem for normal use, minor annoyance when coming to the computer cold.

    How do you know when the mouse has connected to bluetooth again?

    has anyone had an issue where if they tried to use their mouse too soon before it connects, it then fails to make a connection?
