So, I am in the market for a BT mouse. I love the Magic Mouse but it doesn't make the cut due to 1 thing.. no ability to detect a left and right click at the same time (I am a WoW gamer).

All that being said my requirements:
- Bluetooth
- 3 buttons (preferably only 3, left, right, center)
- Not too small (notebook size is a bit small, but I would deal)

Desire:
USB charging


Anyone have any options? Seems like this is hard to find out there.

Thanks!

The Magic Mouse does have the ability to detect a left and right click.

Two-button click
Magic Mouse functions as a two-button mouse when you enable Secondary Click in System Preferences. Left-handed users can reassign left and right click, as well.
 
I fixed my original post, my fault!

I need the mouse to be able to detect left and right at the same time, not independently. In WoW, holding right button and pressing left, makes your character run. I use this in the way I play.


Sorry about that. I hope that makes sense.

i've been looking for the same thing as you. there's not a lot out there as they seem to use their own proprietary dongle which sucks. anyways i found this one, see what you think. i think i'm going to get one as i dont like using a corded mouse for my right-click needs:)

EDIT- i'm unable to see if middle click would work on this thing, one reviewer on newegg said it didn't work under mac gonna try and figure that out

There really aren't many good bluetooth mice out there.

The Magic Mouse is way to small for my hands, and I have a feeling the orochi would be that way too :(
 
I found another that seems to 'fit the bill', but no idea if anyone out there has used it:

The Razer may also be a good option.

Microsoft used to have a model 8000 BT mouse with a charging pad and it was horrible. The scroll wheel was awful, I wonder if the 5000 is about the same?
 
I use the Razer Orochi. It serves as a BT mouse that is small, but is comfortable in your hand. It also comes with a cable to tether it to your Macbook for more precise controls.
