so ive decided its time to get rid of my apple wired mouse and move on to something wireless for a change and i need opinions before doing so. at home i have an mx duo keyboard+mouse combo that works A OK for everything i do and i want that same useablity on the go so im considering the pros and cons of BT mice vs RF mice.

i know that bt is more convenient seeing how you dont need to carry around a dongle (lets be adult here), but what bothers me is how much BT will affect my MBP battery life vs a reg wireless RF mouse.

so if any of you out there are using a mighty mouse bt or any logitech rf OR bt mouse OR better yet..both, id like to hear what you have to say on:

A. battery life of the mouse
B. battery life on the mbp
C. performance of that mouse itself
D. anything that bothers you about your mouse

thanks in advance, and mods..feel free to move this thread if needed.
NOW YOU SEE ME! 2.4 MBP and 2.0 MBP (running ubuntu)
