Hi all!
Could you recommend me a Bluetooth mouse for mac, please?
Last month I used regular Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical, and I see now -- I really need 2 buttons and scroller. I like Apple mouse, and I'll stay it for my 5 years old daughter. But for my work I'm looking for some Bluetooth mouse. I like these:
- IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth®
- Wireless IntelliMouse® Explorer
My question is compatibility Microsoft Bluetooth mouses with Mac. Somebody knows using it together?

Thanks (and sorry my English)

I am quite sure the MS Bluetooth mouse does not have Mac drivers, and the USB-Bluetooth adapter supplied by Microsoft is not Mac compatible. However, you can still use it with your Mac's built-in Bluetooth. The buttons don't need drivers to be customizable - left clicking, right clicking, and scrolling all work, and you can use the Dashboard & Exposé control panel to assign functions to the extra buttons.

So yeah, the MS Bluetooth mouse is not 100% Mac compatible, but it does work if you already have Bluetooth on your Mac. If you don't, then you should reconsider whether you really want a Bluetooth mouse... there aren't many advantages over regular wireless mice, except that Bluetooth mice can work if you have internal Bluetooth and no external adapter. Regular wireless mice require an external receiver to work.

Thank you, Luca!

I'd definitely recommend one of these or these. I just got one and it works like a dream. Great price, too.

I think this one looks good pretty kick ass...

even comes with a backup USB power cable, incase you run out of juice.

I use the Macally one, which is great. But that Radtech looks interesting. I have the original Radtech one and it's too small.
