Well, the world of bluetooth mice and keyboards grew by one today.
Logitech MX900
I have an MX700 and it is hands down the best mouse I've ever used. These make Apple's bt mouse/kb look like childrens toys. I hope the MX900 works well with the built-in bluetooth in the new Macs. Does anyone have any decent info on these? or how well they will work with a Mac?

Almost perfect. But the problem is that I have built in bluetooth, I don't want to have to pay for another bluetooth base-station.

That's exactly my feeling. If I got one of these mice I'd want to just use the base station just for recharging. Hopefully they will work well with Apple built-in bluetooth.

Well, their web pages for it say it's untested/unsupported on Mac. So if you're interested in one, you might wanna take your 'book over to Office Depot or Best Buy or wherever and see if you can get it to pair with them.
And then there's the question of whether the existing logitech drivers for their USB and wireless devices would work w/the new stuff or if you'd wind up with essentially a 2-button mouse and a keyboard w/a bunch of useless hotkeys..

You can use the station as a charger only, the mouse will connect with your internal bluetooth too. Also Logitech is member of the HID group, thus I assume they fully support HID which means Mac support out of the box (at least when connecting via internal bluetooth).
