Wireless Mouse for MBP??
Looking for a good mouse to use with my MBP.

I just want something that connects via bluetooth so there anrent any extra dongles. Also, it would be nice if it was comfortable

Requirements: Wireless!

Budget: less than $100

Apples wireless mighty mouse fits your requirements, in saying that i have a feeling others will list "better" wireless mice.

RadTech BT600 is pretty cool.

Best thing is, if the battery is running low, you can recharge it via USB while you use it.

have logitech stopped their ridiculous practice of requiring you to use THEIR bluetooth module for the driver to work?

Dont laugh, but I use the Microsoft Bluetooth mouse, it is very comfortable works well and is small and comes with its own case which slips in snugly in any type of bag. I love it. I think the model is something 5000 and JB Hi fi have it on special I think around the $50 mark. It works both Pc and Mac.

I have one of these. Works well. There isn't a bluetooth dongle even included. This mouse was targeted at notebooks with BT inbuilt.

You'll just have to download LCC 2.6 from the Logitech website. (The bundled drivers are usually out of date).

I'd recommend the V470 if you're gonna be taking it out as a travel mouse, but for home use I'd go for a full size one. I don't use the V470 at home at all. It's too small for extended use.

If you want a V470, I'll sell you one. I have it. I hate it. Gone back to the Mighty Mouse.

by far the best mouse for MBP is the microsoft bluetooth range. logitec are good, but from personal experience you cannot beat their quality in their hardware, and they are heavily supportive or ergonomic design on the basis of personal health, not merely aesthetics

Notebook Mouse for Mac

I have yet to use a better mouse with my MBP. Again, logitec are good too. Don't even consider the mighty mouse, unless all you like doing is clicking through photo slideshows
