Hi, guys... I'm heading out in just a bit to have the BT module installed in my Mac Pro. I'm thinking about picking up the wireless keyboard and Mighty Mouse. It's been a while since I read up on BT technology, but if I recall correctly, a year or so ago, there were some lag issues. Have these been resolved? Is the BT mouse technology sufficiently responsive for gaming and everyday use (light photo editing, internet, etc.)? Thanks!
Rob

Forgive me, but I can't tell... Are you being sarcastic or serious? Lol.

If you don't mind me adding onto your questions, does anyone who has the mighty mouse find that having to lift up your index finger to right click causes problems while gaming?
To at least be somewhat helpful, I have the BT keyboard and I have never noticed any lag. Just as good as wired. Just be sure to change the batteries when they get really low so that it doesn't drop the signal in the middle of your game!

I have the mouse and I don't think it's all that great for gaming. Granted I haven't played any games on my mac yet. For everyday use I do notice that sometimes there would be lag. regarding the whole lifting your finger to right click that is a given because the trigger is touch sensitive. It will default to left click if it detects your hand near the left portion so no matter what you will have to move out of the way to activate the right click.
It's a very innovative mouse and I love it, but for gaming i don't thikn it will compare.

BT stuff is fine for everyday use, for gaming and graphic design i prefer the wired type. It feels more responsive to me over a BT version.

I keep reading about people having to lift their fingers off the mouse and then tap to right-click...something about touch sensitivity? Does this mouse not function exactly like the wired apple mouse? I don't have to lift my finger from it to right-click...?

With both the wired and the wireless Apple Mighty Mouse, you have to physically lift your left finger off of the surface of the mouse in order to right click. Clicking with your middle finger on the right side of the mouse while your index finger is touching the surface will result in a left click.

Hmmm...I never noticed that before. I just instinctively lift my index finger. Strange.... I thought everyone meant that the middle finger had to be raised from the mouse and brought back down.
