Best Bluetooth mouse?

I use a Logitech Performance MX mouse, best i have ever owned. Planning to get the Anywhere MX for my Macbook Air.
I am a "Palm" gripper, if you are "Claw" gripper your preference maybe different than mine. The shape of the mouse compliments people who palm the mouse.

Ah.... I apologize, i completely glossed over the "Bluetooth" requirement. I also searched for a decent gaming Bluetooth mouse, because i didn't want to eat up 1 of the only 2 usb ports on my MBA / rMBP. The one that kept coming up in my searches was the Razer Orochi. Although i was somewhat scared off by the complaints of the over-agressive sleep settings on it. It is also somewhat of a smaller mouse, because it was meant to be toted around with a laptop. Logitech (V470) and Microsoft (BT-Notebook) are non-gaming oriented mice, that are also the smaller mobile size.
Seems that a lot of gaming companies that make gaming mice opt not to go Bluetooth due to polling rate limitations that may cause latency issues.
I just got this one. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Blue...2027&sr=8-2&keywords=logitech+bluetooth+mouse
Had it for 2 weeks now and works great.

hi all,
i to am looking for a BT mouse. my main gripe with the BT mice i've used in the past have been the slight yet incessant lag and consequent loss in confidence - which is particularly hampering as i draft.
of late i've been using a logitech m505 mouse which uses a USB dongle to run on wireless 2.4GHz. far greater responsiveness than i've experienced with BT mice but now my new wireless router is interfering
not interested in the mac mice as i need a physical scroll wheel with ability to push that scroll wheel left / right. a full-size mouse (at the very least, not 'small') would be preferred. and of course, no-lag is the name of the game here.
am i asking too much of BT?

The Razer Orochi 2013 ($80), recently released, is BT 4.0. I abandoned Razer for OSX usage a few years ago, but I am back to using an Orochi now and the driver situation has vastly improved.
The soon to be released Cyborg M.O.U.S. 9 (~$130) is BT 4.0.
BT 4.0 should solve some of the latency issues inherent with prior implementations of BT.
The orochi only seems to support BT 3.0. The cyborg mouse is over the top for my regular office suite and coding workflow.
Whoops, you are correct re: the Orochi 2013.
What kind of low latency do you require out of a wireless mouse for your regular workflow?
