    Wireless Mouse

    Ok, so, I've been trying to find a good wireless mouse as I need a new mouse. All the reviews and such ended up confusing me as they weren't always consistent across sites. Was unable to find a thread here on bg about it, but I suck with searches.

    I say Wireless as I sit too far away from the tower for a wired mouse to work, and I don't want a cord being stretched across the room. I don't do a lot of gaming that needs the mouse unless you count starcraft 2, though one for gaming isn't a bad idea.

    I was looking at:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-255-_-Product

    Anyone have experience with that? A bit more then I wanted to spend but not out of the question. I was also looking at the Logitech M510, which I don't believe is a gaming mouse, but it's cheaper. Any other suggestions are welcome. I don't want to rush out and buy a mouse then be unhappy with my purchase in a month or two.

    I use a 30 dollar mouse that I bought from BestBuy (Microsoft brand) and it works all the way from the door of my room, which is at the exact opposite of my computer.

    BestBuy had a small section dedicated to these mice.

    I use a logitech MX revolution (i believe the revision/name is higher now) Anyway, there's absolutely 0 noticable delay, it has an extremely long battery life, which has a charger...so you dont need to purchase your own. Several programable buttons...glides extremely well, never gets that "dirt" crap on the bottom.

    This is apparently the newer version, but i dont see the side scroll wheel on it...

    Anyway, most comfortable best mouse I've ever used by far.

    Took a look at thsoe and they look good. The newer one doesn't look as comfortable as the revolution to me though. going with the MX Revolution though, how's this one:

    http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Cordl...2759630&sr=1-1

    From what I can tell the Mouse is basically the MX Revolution except it's Bluetooth, along with the keyboard. Now, I looked at this after your suggestion because I would like a bluetooth keyboard for my PS3.

    Only one thing about this one that worries me, when I tried my PS3 bluetooth headset on this pc I got a bluescreen when I clicked end call on skype, stopped using it right then and there and no problems since. Don't know if it was because I had to manually go find drivers that weren't for windows 7 to make it work, or if it's the bluetooth in general that gave the error. But I'm leaning towards it as on amazon there's a $40 mail in rebate if I order by the 28th.
