I was just wondering what other options there are for a good blue tooth mouse aside from apples. I like having the design of a regual mouse. Suggestions?

Thanks!

+ eleventy.

This has been driving me bonkers for the last year and a half: both Microsoft and Logitech make several good keyboard/mouse sets with lots of bells and whistles (and perhaps questionable design) and passable-to-excellent Mac OS X drivers. And both of them make a few Bluetooth sets. But neither of them has made their drivers work with the Bluetooth keyboards/mice, so you can't do any of the handy button/key reassignments. Yes, I know the OS lets you assign extra mouse buttons to Exposé and what-not, but Logitech and MS both let you assign arbitrary keystrokes to any mouse button or custom key.

It's especially galling that both companies introduced "designed-for-Mac" desktop sets this year (Logitech's is pretty, MS's is hideously ugly), when almost all shipping Macs include standard Bluetooth, and they both waste a USB port for some proprietary RF dongle..

At any rate, as far as mice go, at least, RadTech's look good on screen, but I haven't seen 'em in person yet...
