I have always wanted that feature! Ideally Bluetooth but wired if plugged in to the charging cable or with the option of the dongle for wireless. My use case is when the drivers don't work setting up a Ubuntu PC rather than high speed gaming. The dongle is always lost so the charging cable is always going to be helpful. Whilst at it, I want some USB storage on there too plus the full sensor suite that you can expect on an Android phone for things like where north is, how light it is, G-forces, GPS and so on. Clearly there is no market for such a gadget, so I have compromise devices for now. I would want to get the Logitech ones but - left handed!

Well, this particular model was of the "gaming" persuasion, so I'm surprised it even had blinky lights, since the goal was to be light. The MX master is a freakin' brick, so they could probably stuff all kinds of sensors in there without any issue. The G703 didn't do bluetooth at all but had a small "lightspeed" dongle which was absolutely the best wireless experience I've ever had on a mouse. My current MX doesn't feel laggy, but whenever I switch to my wired "gaming" mouse, it somehow feels more responsive. I didn't feel any difference with that mouse. Note I'm not actually a gamer, I just love these mice because of the high sensitivity, very low weight and on-board memory. There may be better wireless options out there. Too bad the scroll wheel started behaving funny, I was actually thinking that since they were supposed to be able to take a beating while playing, they would last forever as "office" mice. > The dongle is always lost so the charging cable is always going to be helpful. Logitech were actually nice enough to provide a female micro-usb to female usb-a adaptor, so you could actually keep the dongle on the charging cable. And even though the provided cable had some kind of weird mechanical connector surrounding the usb port, which would fit "securely" to the mouse, you could actually use any random micro-usb cable to charge the mouse if the connector wasn't absurdly thick. This was a nice touch, because the battery life was pretty terrible so I always had to have the chargin cable on hand. I had to charge it basically every week when using it heavily. My MX master has a much better battery life.
