good optical cordless mouse?

LegacyUser

i need a good cordless optical mouse, does anyone have any recomendations, budget, around €50.

i'm not using this for gaming, but for graphic design.

hard to find independent reviews on mice online.

are cordless ok, are there any drawbacks?

what's the advantage of having bluetooth?

thanks.

I hear great things about the logitech mx1000, although it is out of your price range. In fairness the microsoft brand names are guite good.

I bought this mouse before Christmas for graphic design work and its excellent, I think PC world have then now for about 50E I paid nearly 80E for mine, very precise and comfortable for long term use. No lag at all.

Logitech MX518 is around 50 euro on ebay now. Class mouse.

the latest ms wireless have gotten good reviews for graphic design, not so for gaming.

The Logitech G5 has the highest dpi available, and is basically the same shape as the MX518.

Both are available here:

The razer copperhead has on the fly dpi switching if thats something you might need (more less sensitivity depending on whats being done).

Graphic design wise, a tablet might be a better bet with a cheap mouse for other stuff.

The Logitech G5 has this capability too. The Logitech G7 is the cordless version of the G5.
