Hi there,
Microsoft recently released the Wireless Bluetooth Mouse - the specifications mention nothing about being Mac compatible however I know OS X is bluetooth compatible.
Has anyone had a chance to use this mouse on their Powerbook/iMac/G4?
Thanks!

I remember hearing about someone who bought one, I want to say that he said it's not compantible or maybe the extra buttons weren't but I would hate to misinform you.

It is true that the Wireless RF mouse are cheaper however the Microsoft Bluetooth mouse has a much smaller receiver that plugs in your USB port similiar to a USB flash drive (key) oppose to the RF receiver that is made mainly for a desktop.
I'm not sure if I mentioned this but I'm looking for a wireless mouse for my Powerbook. I may just end up purchasing the MX500 for it.
Thanks!

There's also a ball version that's only $30. I haven't tried this with the Mac, but I don't think it should be a problem.
