The Bluetooth transceiver plugs into a USB port. The wireless adds
an extra step in the communications between the mouse and the computer.
Does that affect the polling rate possible ? Is the protocol even the
same for a product like that ? If the Bluetooth loses a packet, and
a retransmission is necessary, what delay does that add ?

The review says it is OK for gaming, but so is the cheap
Logitech optical mouse I bought a few years ago. You can
game with just about anything. It all depends on how important
fast response is, in the games you play, as to whether
worrying about any of this makes sense or not.

The best way to shop for mice, is to try them out.
For example, the mouse I bought, was on display with about
20 other mice. I was able to check the mice for overall
size. I checked that the mouse I bought, was a good fit
for my hand. If you're buying the mouse over the Internet,
you lose some of the ability to verify it is what you want.

I was not able to find a DPI rating for that mouse. I tried
the Microsoft site, but they don't like to give specs to make
objective analysis possible. They prefer you to be hooked on
the "color" of the mouse, or the "look" of the mouse. Does
it color coordinate with your computer ? Is it shiny like your
computer, or the $50 printer you bought ? That is how
Microsoft thinks.

A reviewer here, *guesses* the resolution is about 800 DPI.
There is also a comment about lag (delay).

"Microsoft Arc - Mouse Review 11/13/2008"

"Cons

* Sensitivity may be too low for some users
* Lag is a factor with small movements"

If you want relatively predictable behavior in your
input devices, stick with USB cabling.

HTH,
