Change the thread to a general Wireless Mice Thread. Wireless mice aren't that hot a topic here that we need to separate them. If you're not going to it, we'll just get a mod to do it.

Logitech v470 user here. Ok mouse, but I prefer if it was built more durably. It's pretty flimsy compared to the other mice I have.

i'm an output addict. to clear up some fuss and fanboyism
Bluefield is a sensor standard. it tracks well on most surfaces, so long as there is no bumps and stuffs. There is at all, no need for mats as long as not all of your house items are made from glass
Darkfield is the latest sensor standard on the consumer market. i generally tracks on any surfaces even on glass(must be 4mm thick, but i managed to track on light reflecting surfaces 2mm thick with only minor jittering with my friend's anywhere mouse)
why razer IS NOT a general wireless mouse
i) laser sensors are supposed to be PRECISE. razer mice DOES NOT track precisely without surface(confirmed with my friend's lachesis, lots of jitter above 3k DPI, dunno if it is fixed). orochi also does not track properly wirelessly according to some source and this is even agreed on your razer thread

ii) they have no low end wireless product. wirelessly speaking, RM150~ is considered a good low end solution

iii) logitech>razer in the general market. if you disagree, this proves that you are a fanboy. go check your razer thread on just how much RMA issues there are as well as faulty products. my friend had his 1 years old g5 damaged, sent to RMA, and got a brand new g500 instead.

iv) logitech has advantages with the unifying receiver. you can have all your output hardwares wirelessly connected with just 1 receiver. and i dont consider mamba's big wireless receiver a potent competitor.
my answer is more logitech oriented since i know more about logitech's solution. but currently i agree that logitech's darkfield costs too much. a standard microsoft bluefield is good enough IMO, unless you want gaming grade. g7 is a good wireless gaming mouse but i've heard battery issues.

I don't know why you're getting so emo.

Regarding darkfield, bluetrack and whatever kind of superior tracking technology, it's all just a gimmick to me. Of course, in the lab it will probably be able to track the mouse on whatever king of extreme conditions thrown at it. However I doubt anyone would ever come across any such condition in real life.

I've been using my Logitech MX518 for almost two years now. It's for my laptop, which I travel all around with. To date, I've yet to come across any surface on which the mouse won't work, even glass tables. So infra-red optical mice do perform well.

I also have a RM15 optical mouse that won't work on any surface.

What I can conclude is the optical tech hardly has any real world difference if the manufacturer designs it properly.

I also don't see how my Logitech laser mouse is any more precise compared to my infra-red mouse.
