Title: bluetooth mouse suggestions for laptop?
Post by: Salamok on April 21, 2010, 12:17:29 PM
I was considering a Razer Orochi (http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.169419000/categoryId.35208800) but the AA battery thing and a few things that bug me about my mamba makes me think I can do better.  So if anyone has some good bluetooth mouse suggestions/experiences i'd love to hear em.

Is it just a general laptop mouse, or are you looking for some special function?

If it's just basic laptop, get a Logitech or Microsoft mouse and walk away. Easy as pie.

I just went for the razor but am having trouble with getting it to work wirelessly (says it pairs but still won't work), anyway I like the idea of being able to go corded in the event of an unexpected battery outage.  I also wanted to stay clear of bluetooth dongles and stick with the internal bluetooth.  I guess if I can't get the razor to work i'll track down a logitech 470.

Personally I moved from Bluetooth mice to ones with USB dongles. Mice like the V450 from Logitech have such low profile dongles that they aren't in danger of breaking off anymore and they are much less of a hasse to pair.

I did this too.

Though any of the MS or Logitech bluetooth notebook mice would work fine. Good luck finding a full sized mouse with bluetooth support.

Ended up just taking the Orochi back and getting a Logitech Performance Mouse MX (http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice_pointers/mice/devices/5845), I really would have preferred no dongle at all but the extremely low profile unifying dongle works like a charm and after 10 minutes of use I already prefer this mouse over my Razer Mamba.  The Logitech supports the 2 features I love most about the Mamba, on the fly DPI adjustment (not to the tune of 4000 DPI but that was too insane to use anyhow) and it can be plugged into the laptop for wired mode in the event of sudden battery death.  All around better construction and ergonomics than the Razer too, this is one solid mouse.
