Hello

Could anyone recommend me a good mouse for a Mac? I need a quick and precise one. I don't play with the computer.
Has anyone tried the Kensigton trackball?

I have a generic Logitech mouse that works on a Mac quick, precise and perfectly under Linux and WinXP, unfortunatelly not with Mac OS X
After some search on the web I became aware of the problems of the Mac OS X mouse driver and tried iMouseFix, MouseFix, MouseZoom, M$ Mouse 6.2 drivers and other thirth party application for the mighty Mouse (SteerMouse), none helped. I tried the bluetooth mighty Mouse but it was to slow for me.

Best Regards

Personally I use a Logitech purchased from Wal-Mart. It has a good weight, a scroll wheel, and two buttons. I'm very happy with it. It works perfectly under Mac OS X.

I personally use the VX Revolution notebook mouse by Logitech. It is the best mouse I have ever had. Portable yet comfortable enough to use as a desktop mouse (if you don't have super large hands

Mice are a very personal thing - just go play with a bunch, and find one you like.
