Abandon BT Mouse for RF Mouse?

It's so frustrating that there isn't a compact, two-button Bluetooth mouse out there with an On/Off switch and a scroll wheel that expressly works with Macintoshes. All of them seem tragically flawed somehow, even Apple's own Wireless Mouse, which has only one button and no scroll wheel.
Arrrrgh!
It seems like the RF mice have better feature sets than the BT mice -- should I turn away the seductive Bluetooth in favor of a tried-and-true RF model?

Have you taken a look at the Logitech MX900? I have the 500 and really like that mouse. Not sure if it has an off-switch, but the mouse design itself is superb.

why do you need an on/off button? the battery life on BT devices is supposed to be months..

And having an on/off switch wouldn't help conserve battery power anyway. They only way to stop it would be by removing the battery from the mouse, which you could do with a BT mouse w/o an on/off switch anyway.

I thought the Microsoft Bluetooth mouse also suffered from non-programmable-button syndrome.
And weren't people having tracking problems with it when used on a Mac?
I'm with Selowitch- just give me a damn two-button-plus-scrollwheel BT mouse.
