wired. im sure some of it depends on quality of the mouse, but generally speaking for gaming wired is better. and weight, you need batteries in a wireless, can make a mouse pretty heavy. i think some of it is personal preference too.

the newest version of bluetooth allows for up to 3Mbit connect rates, so it actually transfer data faster than USB2.

I think ultimately it is going to be a question of preference for you, but of course usb versions will be cheaper than bluetooth.

if it's gonna be for gaming, i would suggest wired... there's nothing like having your batteries run out during a heated multiplayer game... it really sucks... plus having to buy batteries gets costly...

if it was me, i would get a wired optical mouse..

Wired is generally better, since it's cheaper, higher transfer rate between devices, and less loss.

wired i reckon, cos there's nothing worse than having full ammo but only to find your legs don't move on the battlefield due to battery failiure arggggghh
