hey, i have a TiBook as well & i also do alot of graphics stuff. i looked at the Logitech Mouseman, but i ended up getting the Microsoft IntelliEye Explorer (or whatever it's called). i only got that because of the price, it was the cheapest i could find. i would have got the Logitech, but it was too much.:p :D

I have a Microsoft wireless intellimouse explorer for my 9500(soon to be running Jaguar!)and it's a great mouse...5 buttons and it's wireless! No lag what so ever...although the batteries only last about 2.5 weeks so get some rechargeables...

btw...I got it on ebay for $40! NIB! You can't beat that! The retail is a little higher though because it's wireless...;)

I just got the Logitech Duel optical - Great mouse!! Fits my hand Perfect. Plug n Play - Very Precice.

i know it wasn't on your list, but I just switched from the logitech cordless mouse to a logitech cordless trackman fx trackball and i'm lovin' it! No more mice for me!

I love my Logitech Trackman Marble but I have a Logitech scroll mouse at work and it's great too.

my m$ intellipoint optical mouse is the sweetest mouse i've ever used, but it costs a lil too much, but its a really comfortable (for both right and left handed users)

Same here :D. It is a good mouse for its cost - cant say that about 2 many M$ products..... :D

I have two logitech optical mice, one for home, and one for work. I love them. I am interested in the new Kensington studio mouse. It looks pretty sweet.

i have a logitech mouse-man optical or wahtever and i really dont like it. it's extremely heavy and logitech has totally dropped the ball on support in OS X. thank god for usboverdirve. i would suggest getting a microsoft intellimouse explorer wired/wireless depending on your budget. great device support under X and the mice are light and very ergonomic.

Get the Apple Pro Mouse, they are so cool!:D

They are cool, but they only have one button. I like my contextual menu access.

For some people, like you, many people, in fact, one mouse button is great and zero is even better.

[Over Achiever]

Avoid the Apple Pro Mouse. The cord is short, and there is only one button. I recommend you get an optical mouse with two buttons and a scroll wheel at least, wireless is nice. And whats with all the logitech and ms mice?:confused: Ya'll know there are other options right? Here are my suggestions.

Targus - Wireless Optical Mini Mouse (http://www.targus.com/product_details.asp?sku=PAUM005U)
Great wireless mouse, small and convienent. It has no drivers for OS X, but it doesn't need any...OS X supports two button scroll mice. The color also matchs well with the tibook. This is my favorite of the three.;)

Kensington - Pocket Mouse Pro (http://www.kensington.com/html/1211.html)
This is not wireless, but the wire retracts into the mouse body nicely. This may be better than wireless...when its unplugged the sensor doesn't light. What happens to a wireless mouse when its bumped in a bag? :eek:

Memorex - Wireless Optical Traveler (http://www.memorex.com/products/product_display.php?cid=60&pid=217&oid=251)
A relatively new mouse. The nice thing is the wireless mouse batteries can charge from the USB port.

I like choices, and here are mine;)

[robotrenegade]

I just got one and it is the best mouse I've ever owned. Plus it looks like it matches the computer colors. It has:
-Two Buttons
-A sensor scroll wheel.
-A thired button that is programable.
-And if you hit left and righ button at the same time you can program that as well.
-It's also optical
Work in OS 9 and 10.2
