MBP - What kind of external mouse to get?

Have you looked into the Magic Mouse?

 

Magic Mouse + BetterTouchTool

I couldn't be happier. Especially since I bought the Magic Mouse from a member here for $40.

 

Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX™

​

 

Logitech Performance Mouse MX

 

For me personally, the magic mouse just wasn't going to work for me. I wanted something small and portable. MM is great...just not exactly the feel I was looking for

The Microsoft Notebook mouse 5000 is perfect. No usb adapter required if you have built in Bluetooth.


Not my MBP, not my picture

For you though, maybe the Magic Mouse would be great...

 

I'll +1 the magic mouse idea.

It's nice and flat so it fits in my laptop's case well for portability. It's so useful even without the aftermarket drivers that I find I really try to avoid using my old mouse (basic logitech mouse). I love the inertia scrolling and two finger forward and backward swipes.

Did have some aftermarket driver (not BTT, haven't really played iwth that one yet) but decided that it was more frustrating to use that way (so little space on the mouse it was easy to accidentally be hitting it with one more finger than you meant and have it do the wrong thing. Not sure if BTT addresses this by allowing you to appoint edges as not counting).

Of course, now that I have my MBP with the glass trackpad I don't really need to take my mouse with me (my old macbook had the old style trackpad with click button. I loved my Magic mouse so much I'd take it with me over using that). But when I have my MBP in desktop mode I still use my magic mouse over my other one.

 

+1 for Magic Mouse

 

magic mouse.

 

+1. I have the MS Explorer Mouse with bluetrack, a very good mouse, but I would go with the MX if I were to buy again. Those extra programmable buttons would come in handy.

 

Magic mouse for sure. Would hate to have a USB dangling everywhere.

 

the magic mouse just feels like you have your hand lightly sitting on the table, the perfect arch, and the scrolling it SO smooth.

+1 for magic mouse

 

Microsoft arc for sure

 

For a MacBook a magic mouse suits it well. It depends what type of things you'll be doing on the machine however.

 

i also like the little logitech wireless mice. i had one a few years ago (before bluetooth i think even came out) it was good until i walked into the usb adapter sticking out of my computer (i have a desktop) but it was good while it lasted. come to think of it i probably should have put the adapter in the back of the computer

 

-1000 for the Magic Mouse. Please don't buy it. I'm certain many wouldn't if it wasn't an Apple product.

Anywhere Mouse MX, Razer Orochi (for the BT crowd) or Performance Mouse MX (if you want something bigger).

Those are my picks.

 

Magic Mouse. Such a easy to use mouse and it is multi-touch.

 

Logitech MX Revolution.

 

another vote for the Magic Mouse

 

That was/is a FANTASTIC mouse. The wheel works great for mac os.

 

I use a Razer Pro Click Mobile Bluetooth mouse. I got it for like 18 dollars on buy.com a fews months ago, it is pretty solid, and it is better for gaming than the magic mouse most likely.

 

that's the last gen

performance mx is the replacement

 

MX revo is still an amazing mouse. That wheel is awesome.

-1000 here for magic mouse too.

1. frictiony - does not glide smooth for me
2. battery life was horrible
3. hand cramps

My perfect combo is the vx revo paired with a nano receiver. Perfect shape for my smaller hands.

 

Don't ever buy the Magic Mouse. It sucks + way too expensive.

Get a cheap logitech wireless mouse. You'll be fine.

I use a Logitech V220
