I've searched around a bit but I just wanted to get a definative answer on this:

Microsoft say their bluetooth optical intellimouse isn't supported on a Mac, yet it does work fine? It's just the extra buttons you can't configure as there is no MS driver software for it?

Did I get that right? I'm just curious because I'm after a bluetooth mouse and like my current USB MS Intellimouse. Other bluetooth mice I've seen don't seem to be as comfortable to use.

Cheers!

It works just fine. You can configure the buttons to an extent as well.

Well, my original MS Bluetooth mouse works great (although you can't assign buttons to anything other than Expose), but I've heard that the new model with the tilt-wheel dosen't work at all...

Oh, and get ready to buy some rechargable batteries. You'll be lucky to get 2 weeks use out of a pair of AA's.
Yadda, yadda, yadda...
