I'll be buying a 13" MacBook Pro soon and I need to decide which mouse to buy. My main use will be for lots of reading.

Could wireless "portable" mice be considered not that comfortable for reading?

I have considered the following options:

-Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

-Microsoft 6BA-00022 Wireless Mobile Mouse 3000 (Green)

-Logitech V220

-Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500

- Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000
http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Wir...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1278625964&sr=1-1

What do you think? Are there better options? Which would be your choices for "reading" mice?

And for a good all-around comfortable MBP mouse?

EDIT: One more thing...... I'm left handed ;-)

Thanks

Reason

I have the habit of constantly highlighting sentences, key words and looking them up, lots of scrolling too. So something that's at least comfortable would be nice.
 
Perhaps consider a used Logitech VX Revolution. The ergonomics and scroll wheel on that mouse are top notch 🙂

Sorry, forgot to mention, I'm left handed, so I need something at least ambidextrous... 😀

So far my main choice is: -Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 , this seems like a good choice, any issues with the mouse itself disconnecting?
 
I find that the trackpad is so accurate and smooth that I prefer it over a mouse for reading and browsing, unless I am attached to my HDTV or playing games.
 
i highly suggest the magic mouse. i too thought it was uncomfortable at first but after a couple days it became a dream to work with. I wouldn't pair any other mouse with my mac.
