Wireless Mighty Mouse Alternative

After getting fed up of the wireless mighty mouse, due to to the bad right click, poor traction/base, bad scroll wheel, switched back to my Logitech G7, the best mouse you can get for the mac, but my RF Band has a lot of interference so wanted a bluetooth one and then found the Sony VGP-BMS33, Bluetooth Mouse Version 2.0/800 DPI, and what do you know the same feet as the G7 polytetrafluoroethylene, so it's super smooth and glide's right across my SteelPad QCK... the scroll wheel is a simple up/down wheel one, no side to side scroll, and side buttons but other than that not one bad thing about it, nice silver design to, syncs with my Asus Bluetooth adapter, and working great in 10.5.2...

 

Running on Two 2500MAH AA NIMH's, quoted lasting 3 months with 5hrs day/5hrs week usage......, would be happy If I get 6 weeks out of it.... so will report back.

 

ANyway if your fed up with the mighty mouse then get this, you won't be dissapointed...

I've got a Logitech MX620 Laser Cordless Mouse. I've had it since... actually, since some time towards the end of last summer. (I want to say late August, but it may just have been early September. I've been running on the same Duracel AA (MN1500 LR6 Alkaline) batteries since then. According to the software tracking, I've got a bit more than a third of my battery left, give or take.

 

Tracking's great (except on faded pea-soup-green counter tops --you do NOT want to know how I got that information), it just glides everywhere, the buttons are fully programable with the Logitech driver for OSX and I've literally forgotten about the batteries.

 

Plus I think it's better looking than the two alternatives you've listed above (of course, that's personal preference).

The 620 is not bluetooth, the whole point of the post was an alternative the the wireless mighty mouse which is bluetooth so I consider your post spam... no offence intended.... on a side note my G7 is the best wireless mouse you can get due to the PTFE feet and rechargeable battery packs which take under 10 seconds to swap, USB charging baby.... but it's not bluetooth... so the sony one is the best bluetooth mouse available, I know logitech do a Bluetooth MX Revolution but it's only available as a combo... The Apple BT Keyboard and Sony BT Mouse are the way to go...

I use a logitech VX laptop mouse... actually have two of them. One for the laptop and one for the desktop. If you could legally marry a mouse I would have dropped to one knee shortly after purchase.* I have really bad CTS and that little sucker literally disappears in my hand like it was a part of me. Bar none the finest mouse I've ever used. Some people don't like the flywheel scroll, but I feel once you get the hang of it you'll never go back to a regular scroll wheel... it gives you incredibly precise and blindingly fast control when scrolling. The only con it has is the battery life. I only get about 2 months on the single AA.

 

*I even slept with it for the first few weeks... under my pillow... no really! :D
