Hey,

I'm looking at getting a mouse for gaming on my Macbook and I can't use the mighty mouse because of the lack of being able to left and right click at the same time.

I'm looking at getting the Targus Bluetooth Mouse for Mac. Has anyone had any experience with this mouse and if so what did they think?

Also, what is the difference between Laser and Optical Mice?

Thanks.
 
I believe Bluetooth mice are generally regarded as not that great for gaming due to the inherent "lag" of Bluetooth wireless versus a regular USB RF wireless or wired mouse. Especially if you're planning on playing First Person Shooter games (like Team Fortress 2 etc.). Perhaps if you're just playing some Real-Time Strategy games (Like Star Craft) a bluetooth mice would be ok.

I think Laser mice looks better on paper (specs-wise) but for First Person Shooter games a lot of people actually prefer the high-end optical mice for tracking accuracy etc. (like a Razer DeathAdder, comes in Mac white version too!).
