I am currently looking into buying a new wireless mouse (USB or bluetooth). The mighty mouse really interests me, but I have heard a lot of grief from people who have bought it so I don't think I should risk the money. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good wireless mouse that works well with Macs?
Thanks!

Logitech VXnano, its a winner!
only problem is you need to use the USB dongle, but its the size of a few grains of rice.

What ever you do, do not install the Logitech malware they call a "mouse driver". Uninstalling that Logitech Centre software thing still has left problems on my machine and that wonderful beautiful mouse is now a paperweight.

I thought about the MX but the lack of bluetooth got to me as I wanted to bring my mouse with me to the library. If you just use your mouse at your desk at home that is a perfect mouse but if not look into the bluetooth options. I have this one and love it: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=099

Why would lack of bluetooth prevent you from taking it to the library?

Because I would have to take an extra USB dongle to use the mouse. Now all I have to do is turn the mouse on and I can have my only two USB ports on my macbook open for my 4GB memory stick and to charge my iPhone.

We should really just have a sticky that gets updated for Keyboards / Mice suggestions.
