Are there any Bluetooth laser mice? I'm looking at the Logitech MX900 and MX1000. I have an iMac and the 900 is BT but uses optical tracking. The 1000 is laser but uses RF. I saw a this package

that seems to offer a BT version of the MX1000, but I don't need the keyboard. Anybody seen a BT MX1000 or anything similar? Thanks.

OK, just for the record, what is the difference between an optical and a laser mouse? I thought that optical was the kind with the red light under it...as in laser? :confused:

Laser has more DPI which means more accuarte which is useful if you play games. I have a mx5000 which has a BT mx1000 mouse. Great mouse, battery life is good!

Optical uses a red LED and goes up to about 800dpi.
Laser uses a laser and go up to and even past 2000dpi.

Can the BT version of the MX1000 be purchased seperately?
I would really like it. I don't want the keyboard. Let me know if you know anything

If you buy the package, your paying $70 more than just buying the USB Wireless RF version, granted you get a (good) keyboard.

And on Amazon, the mouse is about $60 vs suggested $80.
