Help needed in buying a wireless mouse for my new Macbook

[maslak]

As in the headline.. I need help in buying a bluetooth mouse .. With no extra adapters just working as good as the apple white mouse.

i like those Razer Pro mice, they are also on the apple website and a great price, works on bluetooth so no wires, etc.

Whats wrong with the apple mouse??

1) IT is not ergonomic at all does not feel good while working on it..
2) In my own opinion looks really bad .. with the new silver black macbook ..
maybe it looked good with the old white macbook ..

Its a little on the smaller side, but very usable.

And tell me dude all 5 buttons work ?
1. Scroll Wheel
2. Battery Status Light
3. Back Button
4. Soft Grip Areas
5. On/Off Switch
And works well with the macbook bluetooth. ?no drivers needed just like with the apple mouse ?

 

[maslak]

any more idea guys ?

Ahh! I have that mouse, and have not tried it yet with my iMac. Most bluetooth mice work. I have a Dell one that works amazingly, and the fact that it's logitech is really good too.

Happy Shopping!

I do warn you, that the left click button is a bit tough and takes a bit of pressure. Just an FYI.

Lol you copied that list right off the description. Did you even read that list?

I'm sure the on/off switch works lol.
I'm afraid the soft grip areas are compatible with Vista only.

Seriously, just about every USB mouse under the sun made from about 3 years ago will work with all the buttons without any extra software/drivers. There are exceptions though, where there is specialised functionality, like scripted function buttons. If all the button does is click, then Mac OS X supports 16 different mouse buttons.

EDIT: there aren't even 5 buttons??!??

I have the Targus BT Laptop mouse. Has rechargeable batteries, connects to the MacBook's bluetooth without any headaches. I use a Logitech MX400 when the MB is at home though.

Sorry. I'll clarify that, just about every USB/Bluetooth mouse works under OS X.

Logitech V470 Bluetooth

I am using the above mouse with both of my MacBooks, old white one and new aluminium one.

Works perfectly batteries last for ages.

All buttons work correctly.

How long have you used your MacBook? Have you taken your time to get accustomed to the new clickpad? I've had mine for a little over two weeks now, and had planned to get a wireless laptop mouse for it. But now that I'm used to using the clickpad, I don't see why I would want a mouse. The clickpad is awesome.

So here's my vote for gettin no mouse at all.
