I really wanted to get this mouse for my PB, but I've read that it totally sucks due to the speed problems and jumping. Has any else experienced this with their mac? And what other great BT mice are there that work well with a BT Powerbook? THANKS! 
Got a tip for us?

Now it rocks.
I have an MX900 and for most things it's great, like just bumming around on the web, etc. I do notice that it can get a little jumpy when using it for gaming from time to time, but I have a corded mouse for those occasions. It's nice to have for portability's sake (yay no wires!) or controlling movies from my bed. I'll have to see if things have gotten better since Tiger though, I haven't tried anything that really requires good mousing (word?) since I upgraded-not at my PB now, can report back later. What are you using it for?
PS: Having so many buttons is great! I've mapped them to Expose and Dashboard so I no longer have to use pesky keyboard shortcuts

I'm typically gonna use it just to do daily tasks on my PB ie: surfing the web & other random tasks. But being a graphic designer and using Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, ect... I'm thinkin the sluggish part is gonna get me, which is the reason why I'm hesitant to buy this mouse. I swear if the MX1000 was BT or if Logictech had Mac Drivers for the MX900 I wouldn't have this problem
It should work nicely for those tasks.impact_blue said:
I seriously don't feel the lag since upgrading to Tiger. It was pretty bad in Panther, but they seem to have resolved that in the upgrade.
Try this: Buy it and take it for a test drive. If you don't like it, just return it.
