Should I get a bluetooth mouse or RF mouse for my gaming laptop?

I've got a laptop I play a few games on, and it has bluetooth built in. I was debating whether I should buy a bluetooth mouse or an RF mouse. I understand that with an RF mouse I'd have to have a receiver taking up one of my usb ports, which I would like to avoid if the bluetooth mouse is going to perform just as well. I've read older reviews claiming that a bluetooth mouse has the following disadvantages:

1. Drains the battery a LOT quicker than an RF mouse would
2. Response time can be slow/laggy

Are these still true today? Would a bluetooth mouse be a bad idea if I do play a few games (WoW, SC2, eventually Diablo 3)

Thanks for the advice!
 
I have a great wireless mouse by logitech, and I would definitely recommend it over bluetooth. My wireless battery lasts forever, and it is never laggy. (unless I knock around the receiver)

I haven't had a bluetooth mouse, but I know that my wireless mouse is great, in everything I do.

From internet to gaming (MW2, Crysis, Dragon Age) my wireless mouse is teh king XD

If you want to play games a hardwired mouse is best IMO - there's no lag, no battery to consider, they're cheaper, etc.....

However if you're dead set on something wireless then I'd say bluetooth. You have it built into your machine you migh as well use it, and modern day bluetooth is perfectly stable.
