I have almost made my powerbook 12" my primary desktop machine with the last addition of an apple bluetooth keyboard (which is marvelous), but the bluetooth apple mouse sucks, especially for the price 
I was looking at the Logitech MX1000 but to my dissapointment, it isn't bluetooth. And the MX900 isn't as good looking as the MX1000.
Is there any other good looking mouses that are bluetooth with at least a scroll wheel? I can't seem to find any... |

The Mouse BT is identical to the Apple mouse, but has two buttons and a scroll wheel. Oh, and it comes in silver!

The build quality of those is seriously shit.
Not to mention the owner of the company who makes them is a convicted ciminal in the U.S. There's plenty of stories around about him on the web.

So? I can't see what that's got to do with anything. I'm assuming that if he's been convicted then he's also paid his dues?

can't fault the Apple wireless - but it is soo damn heavy.
I was looking at the Mouse BT for the two button and scroll wheel - but i'm glad i've come here first.
Does anyone own a Mouse BT and is happy with it?

I can tell you that the MX 900 mouse, is awesome  and worth every cent. Although I did not have to pay for mine as it was work supplied |

forget the The Mouse BT. i had it, hated it. seriously, forget about it. did i say, forget about it, it's shite? it is.
although the creator being a convicted criminal has nothing to do with its awfully poor build quality and performance.

Ive also been on the hunt for a good BT mouse.... what I have found is one by a company called Bluetake (a.k.a Radtech).
Its a mini 2 button scroll mouse with bluetooth of course, it runs off batteries but if they go dead, it also comes with a USB cable to connect the mouse directly to the pc and it can run off of that. Also comes in white to match yor Ibook/Imac!!
Some good reviews on the net... check out:

lol, none are appealing except for the BT Mouse 2-button scroller. But after all of the rants about the company, I will stay away :P
The other one I was thinking of was the Microsoft Bluetooth Wireless Intellimouse Explorer which I think looks cool, but the only drawback is there is no dock for recharging.
Anyone got any ideas about how this mouse performs?
