    I'm looking for a nice bluetooth mouse thats not a Mighty mouse. It needs to be ergonomic and not astronomically expensive. Does anyone have any recommendations?

    I ordered a Macbook Pro today and need to start planning on how to kit it out. Don't tell 440Hz or she'll say "Itoldyaso!" :pac:

    i did alot of research on this when i was buying a new mouse just before christmas and i settled on a non-bluetooth wireless mouse.

    The main impression i was left with was the bluetooth mice all tend to suffer from mediocre battery life along with response and latency issues.

    I bought a Logitech VX nano.....ok it has a plug in dongle but its teeny tiny

    ok the mouse itself is smaller in the hand than something like the VX or MX revolution but i don't mind that too much....the tiny dongle was a deal breaker for me as i'm on the go alot and like the idea of just leaving it plugged in all the time.

    p.s. to get the full benefit of all the fancy buttons and super cool scrolling and tilting wheel i had to get a 3rd party driver, Leopard won't assign all the buttons etc.

    Thanks for the helpful reply. I was hoping to go bluetooth in order to save a USB port but maybe I'll reconsider. I do like the idea of programmable buttons. It looks a bit small though, I'll see if I can try one in PC World or something.

    no worries!

    the VX revolution is a definitely bigger - approx full size, but it doesn't have the tiny dongle...though it is roughly the same price as the VX nano

    if bluetooth is your thing however, this looks like the best out there

    Logitech is your only option when it comes to mice, wireless or wired. Best value and very reliable.
