Good mouse for a laptop?

Thread Starter 
Still looking on getting a laptop but one feature I was wondering about is bluetooth.

The only two reasons I have for wanting bluetooth would be wireless mouse and headsets but I cant seem to find any good ones of either for laptops.

So maybe you all out there can gimmie either links or info on mice you currently use and like.

Doesn't have to be only bluetooth. Just something nice for laptops that would be good for gaming.

Thx

i use the microsoft wireless notebook mouse and find it to be awesome for daily use. Not sure how good it is for gaming, and its not bluetooth either, but it's still good in my opinion....

i believe COSTCO around my area is now carrying these mice for $28.99, but not sure if other COSTCO's are as well..

i paid $40 for it when it first came out a while ago.

i myself have the MS wireless notebook in black, it sucks if theres electrical interference around, the mouse starts moving by itself and starts clicking on things. it wont happen if you are at home but something in my office is giving off alot of interference. bluetooth mice are unaffected

Logitech alternatives:
Corded: Logitech MX518 (I've got that, but some people hate cords)
Bluetooth: Logitech MX900
Cordless, notebook: Logitech V500 (don't know how good it is for gaming though)

I have the Logitech V500 and its a nice mouse. I love the battery life! Almost 3 months on the same batteries and I use it everyday at work and then at home in the evening. The only quirk I have experienced with mine is that the buttons seem to require a firm click and hold when dragging and dropping or it will release the button while you are moving. Minor gripe but its my experience. Still love the portability with the hidden for storage bluetooth receiver.

Have you ever wondered why all mice made for gamers are corded?

It's going to be good for games or wireless. But you can't really have both.

Sure. Compare your laser-whoopie-doo last-gen mouse to a balled corded mouse, and yours wins hands down. But if you compare a same-gen gaming corded mouse and a wireless one, the corded wins.

Err, wasn't actually comparing it to a balled mouse. I have used a ton of desktop mice and this one is by far the best I have ever seen. In the 4 something months that I have had this mouse it hasn't had a single problem. When gaming the mouse has NEVER jerked or anything like that.

The only difference I see with corded over cordless is you might get interference with the cordless. That lack of interference is what would make the corded better. Yet, if I never have any interference on my mx laser ... then what makes a corded mouse better?

A mouse that needs batteries doesn't fit my bill. But if your mx1000 is good enough for your gaming, then all's for the best.
