Is there a good Bluetooth Mouse?

Hi All,

Is there a good Bluetooth mouse on the market that you could recommend? It's for work, so quality and performance are more important than low cost.

Thanks,
Dave

Ive been looking for a BT mouse too. But theyre so expensive. I dont know enough about Bluetooth so maybe someone can answer this. Are these things marked up to rediculous levels or is the technology actually worth it? Because all the BT mice ive seen are around $100.

Bluetooth is a nice feature if you're say across the room and using your video outs to broadcast to tv because of bt's range. If you're just a regular Joe BT is just a waste of money on batteries unless you get the rechargable type IMO. Save your money and get the nicest usb/optical mouse you can afford.

why not just a good wireless mouse? tons of great ones on the market. Bluetooth seems to be a bit overpriced right now. Rechargeable mice are great.

Only one would be MX-900 to recommend
We had a boxing day special of $49.99 + tax = $57 CAD (reg. price $159.99 + tax)
I didn't use it though, sold it for $65 (barely a profit really)

I second the suggestion on the Logitech MX900. I absolutely love it. I've got internal Bluetooth, so I don't have any obnoxious dongles hanging out. And it comes with a charging stand and rechargeable batteries. I was a diehard MS Intellimouse man until this came along. I could never go back. I'd feel like I was in the stone age again.

if you really want a bluetooth mouse i would recommend the mx900 but if you are looking for something with decent range a normal wireless mouse would probably be better as BT is suppossed to only have a range of a few metres(like 5 or less i think)

also if you are going to be playing games bluetooth mice tend to have alot of mouse lag, so i personally would only get one for a laptop with internal bluetooth that i didnt really play FPS games on.

All these suggestions are terrific. I use the Bluetooth Microsoft mouse on my lappy. Works just peachy for me, although I agree with fragger that there's a smidge of noticeable lag using BT for gaming. More of an issue in multiplayer than single player games.

I just have one question:

What the hell are you doing with the mouse beyond 30 feet?
