Recommend a Bluetooth mouse?

I'll be using it for light gaming (Starcraft 2 mostly) and Photoshop, and office work.

Also, my laptop has internal BT4.0 so being able to use that instead of those obnoxious USB receivers would be nice.

Was looking at this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Generic brand, but lots of good reviews and a nice price. Is there any easy way to tell which devices require their own receiver and which can use an internal one?
 
I have a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse to use with my laptop, which has internal BT4.0 as well. It works nicely but it is a bit more expensive than the one you listed. It is also kind of on the smaller side, but then I have large hands.

You shouldn't have any issue with pairing a bluetooth mouse if you have an internal receiver as the reciever is BT4.0 (the newest iteration) and that is compatible with older Bluetooth hardware . You can get a mouse that comes with an external receiver and still be able to pair it up with the internal receiver if you want.
 
I think most if not all Bluetooth mice are small and portable. I don't like it either, but its just the way it is. I simply got used to using them... Im 6'4 with big hands, but whatever. I just hold it with my fingertips. even if I use full size mice, I still just use my fingertips anyway.

I would say something with bluetrack.. I freaking love this new sensor from ms. I think it makes their mice the best you can buy.
 
I have the Logitech MX Revolution keyboard and mouse, and I really like the mouse. Very nice features, battery life is good, storage cradle for charging when needed, and it's full sized and ergonomic.

The mouse by itself is $99 on Amazon I think, so maybe more than you want to spend, but if you use it a significant amount each day it may be worth it for you.
 
Yikes. Yeah 100 is out of my price range. I'm a colossal cheapskate on some of this stuff. If I can't have a nice BT mouse on the cheap, I'll just keep being vaguely annoyed with the cords on $10-20 MS/Logitech mice. 🙂
