What's "bluetrack"? I agree with not wanting wireless, though.
Bluetrack in mice is a proprietary Microsoft made tracking method for
their optical mice. Physically, they have larger holes for the emitter
and the light is blue instead of red.
A quick searched turned up this link which gives a basic rundown between
Microsoft Bluetrack and Logitech Darkfield:

I have a 'notebook' wireless mouse from Microsoft that has Bluetrack and
uses one of the 'nano' USB dongles. The battery life is pretty good and
when the wireless works, it works pretty well.
Bad points would be that the larger sized hole seems to collect more
crud than a 'typical' optical mouse would, and occasionally I've had the
signal 'go strange' and the mouse not work as it should.
However, the tracking is pretty good (I've tested it on beat up metal
cigarette tin), and the dongle does work with anything that supports
HID's. Minor note on the one I have, the dongle apparently supports
mice and keyboards, which has confused a few things at times when they
see a new keyboard interface but not a new keyboard to go with it.
