    I have seen some mention of bluetooth mice not doing well on the right side of the M11xR3, and some folks had success just getting a new mouse. My own sometimes has lag, can be stuttery, and cuts out after 30 seconds. It worked fine with the last laptop.
    I would like to replace it with a new bluetooth mouse and I was hoping you folks would like to share what mouse you use and how well it behaves.
    My own mouse is a Kensington PilotMouse Mini Bluetooth, model 72414. I like how it fits and how it worked before, but it is older now. It doesn't work very well with the M11x.

    Thanks

    I have the Razer Orochi mouse and it works flawless. Fully recommended :)

    I own an r1, but I have a razer naga epic and I love it. It's both wireless and wired (similar to the Orochi) and has a lot of buttons that help me out with web browsing and gaming in general. Also, I can program each button to run a macro for anything I want. If not the naga epic, go with the original naga, it's just as good (functionallly speaking).

    I have the Naga epic too, but sometimes this mouse just wanders around the screen. It's somewhat bothering me, do you have some issues with yours?

    I also have an Orochi and love it. Its a great mouse for everything. My only issue is - its bit hard to set up to connect to computer first time... after that its great. Highly recommended - it also suits the m11x really well (aesthetically)
