Mouse for laptop

dokko · 12 Dec 2008 at 11:12

Hi there.

Just got a laptop (1st one) but i cannot stand the pads on them and really need a mouse.

I'm 99.9% certain its got bluetooth so they are an option, but do they not lag, every BT device i've ever used has been painfully slow?

After that there's normal corded ones or a wireless one, wireless seeming a good option but im worried about having a massive stick hanging out the laptop ready to snap off at anytime.

I don't really want a miniature one as well.

PS: I currently use an MX 518 and i will be doing some gaming with the laptop having a 8800mGTX in it

Thanks.

Having tried to game with mini mice and wireless on a laptop I'd say get one you can just plug in that works properly. Like a Razer or another MX518.

I used to use my old MX518 with a laptop and it worked fine. It just means you have take a bit more care when lugging it around.

Check out the Logitech wireless VX Nano advance and the VX Revolution, both aimed at laptop users I think, more importantly the VX Nano had a tiny bluetooth reciever not too sure about the VX revolution though.

Bluetooth is no worse mousewise than any other normal wireless one.

ok, thanks for the ideas much appreciated.

I like the mini logitech one.

What I'd love to see is a the Nano USB thing, with a full sized mouse. That would be cool, but more importantly, if it's done on one mouse why not on the rest of the ****ing range!!

Got a logitech nano in the end for £30, looks good.
