I bought a wireless mouse and a bluetooth dongle (dbt-120, the apple recommended one) and setup was okay, I guess, but the mouse seems choppy, and it seems to have a small lag which is hard to notice but causes me to click in the wrong places all the time. Does anyone know of a solution to this? thanx

Make sure to update the firmware using the cd that came with the mouse. This step is very important, and you actually have to click on update twice and it will take a few minutes and tell you it's updating the firmware. If you skip this step, it will be choppy.

Also, this trick worked for me (don't ask why - no guarantees); Plug in your Apple USB optical Pro mouse while you have the bluetooth mouse paired. Use it for some seconds and then use the bluetooth mouse. Unplug the USB mouse. It worked for me (probably some sensitivity setting or driver getting loaded).

My Apple bluetooth mouse is now just as responsive and smooth as the USB Pro mouse.
