I'm considering getting a BT mouse for my PB. I've read many of the threads already on this topic in this forum, so don't suggest that! I'm still mulling some of the various options, but part of me is wondering -- as I usually don't use a mouse at all on my PB, just the trackpad -- if maybe the one-button Apple mouse might be OK.

Does ANYONE use this mouse and like it? I use a multi-button mouse with my desktop and can't imagine not doing so. Sure wish Apple would wake up -- but until they do, choices seem somewhat limited, and somewhat expensive.

Simple question -- anyone using the Apple BT mouse, how do you like it?
Thanks.

I have one and really like it, since I've been used to a 1 button mouse on my computers for years. Battery life is pretty good too, I get about a month and 1/2 with standard AA batteries with everyday useage. Only issue is that the tracking speed isnt as fast as the Apple USB pro mouse, but since ive been using this mouse primarly, I'm used to it.

i've been using one button trackpads since i got my first ibook and i like it. i got the bluetooth mouse and i do not mind the one buttonness, and i love the mouse. turn it off and throw it in a bag and you can travel with it. no dongles, etc.

it's a nice mouse.

I like my Apple bluetooth mouse. I do most of my work on my G5 but when I need to get stuff done on the AlBook the mouse works well. I do like being able to simply close the lens/laser and throw it in the bag. Battery life seems decent so far and it seems very reliable.
