Anybody know a good BT mouse?

I have tried the Apple Mighty mouse, but the scroll ball gums up all the time.

Also tried the Logitech VS270, but there is no good Mac support -- the scroll speed cannot be tweaked well, and the power management features don't play nice with the ones on my Mac.

Cheers,

Nike

I've decided that there are no good BT mice. I went for Logitech's VX Revolution 2.4 ghz wireless mouse. The usb transmitter is only 1inch long, stows away inside the mouse, and acts as a power switch (turns the mouse on when removed from the mouse, turns it off when replaced).

well, I too was looking at the Logi 270, and it's hard to believe there's not a slew of good ones out there yet. Logitech needs to make a normal full size mouse like their MX line but in bluetooth.

I found this, looks interesting maybe, I don't know much about it:

I don't get what the big fascination with cordless input devices is. Just because it's "cooler"?

For me, it's that I like my mouse on the left of the keyboard, and girlfriend likes it on the right. Either we have a bloody long cord, or we go wireless....

Cordless is nice for using with laptops and on the go. Don't have to worry about wires all over the place.

If you use your left hand, don't get the Logitech VX or MX. They are right-hand only.

I just bought the Logitech V270 and it works fine for my purposes. It took a few minutes of tweaking to get used to the tracking speed, though.

I still like my Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth. Only problem is there is no on/off/recharge ability.

I personally look at the MX1000 Bluetooth as the "best" BT mouse overall, but as Wiskedjak said - it's right-hand only.

Other than that, it's great. On/Off switch, comfy ergonomic design, plenty of buttons and reliable tracking.
You can only get it in a set with a Keyboard though - I simply bought the Logitech diNovo set, took the mouse and passed the Keyboard and Keypad on to my father.

I used a logitech V270 when I'm on the road with my MBP, and it's great!

just a word of advice do NOT go with the Logitech MX Revolition. it seems to have some problems with OS X

My girlfriend uses the Logitech V270 with her MBP and she loves it. The battery life seems to be okay.
