Well my MS Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 is starting to flake out (random left clicks when i'm not pressing the button) and it's time to buy a new mouse. Now i've pretty much seen that the Logitech MX510 is THE wired mouse to get for both gaming and normal desktop use.

I have been thinking about branching out into the wireless mice, since my case sits far from my actual workspace and my mouse and keyboard cords are stretched to the max. The two i've though about are the Logitech MX700 and MX900. I've heard many good things about the 700, in that it's great for gaming and everything else. That the 700 proves that wireless mice are now for gamers and all the lag worries from before are gone, is that the truth?

My other choice is the MX900 which is basically the 700 though with Bluetooth. Now in this case, i can actually use bluetooth since my printer uses bluetooth (HP 955c) and my wife's computer has a bluetooth dongle she uses to print and sync. I'm just unsure about the 900 since i've read it actually transfers half as fast as the 700 does, and that scares me. I play fast paced FPS games as well as MMO's that use a lot of quick movements.

Has anyone used these mice (especially the MX900) and can tell me how they work with games and desktop programs? Or anythoughts on this in general?
