Trying to find a good mouse to use with my new laptop and was wondering for some good suggestions.

I have tried the Apple one and really I think its horrible. Very Heavy etc.
Maybe I will play with it a bit more but was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions.

Thanks

Really? I think the weight is the best of any BT mouse I've used. I can't stand any other mouse - except when I do gaming.

If you want really light, check out the Razor Orochi Elite:

It also has a USB cable if you want better performance in gaming. While I hate how light it is, it is the mouse I use for gaming on my MBA.

I have the razer orochi as well and I can vouch for it's awesomeness.

Apples magic mouse is awful, i couldn't stand that thing. Instead of settling for a Bluetooth mouse I got a Logitech Anywhere mouse, It has a tiny unifying USB receiver and is honestly the best mouse I have ever used. The buttons can be configured to adjust for volume/brightness and a whole bunch of other things.

Works on any surface!

If you can spare a usb port, this is a good pick.

I use a Microsoft Mobile Mouse 4000 which has one of those tiny USB receivers that fits inside the mouse and it's a pretty good mouse. I've used it for years and it's always worked well for me. I just ordered the 5000 though, which is bluetooth and comes today so I'll be able to say more about that later. The only complaint I have with the 4000 is that it uses up a USB port.

If you're going to use a USB port for a receiver, I agree that the MX Anywhere mouse is the absolute best choice.
