I'd get Bluetooth as it's a universal standard and there should be no issue with performance vs a standard wireless or USB mouse.

I had a microsoft bluetooth mouse and it ate through batteries much worse than my logitech cordless mouse. Also annoying was that you needed another peripheral to set it up.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend a wireless mouse for gaming. I had to swap batteries too many times 75-90% thru major WoW runs or lengthy WiC sessions to NOT justify switching back to my old MX.

IMO: Stick with the corded mouse, you'll never have to take 5sec to swap the battery.
