Which Bluetooth mouse is the best
Monday, Jan. 31 2005 | Author: Andrew DayPretty soon here I’m going to go out and buy a Mac Mini, and I’m going to equip it from scratch: new keyboard, monitor, and speakers. My mind is made up on all of those items but I know nothing about Bluetooth mice. After conducting a little research, I’m leaning towards the Logitech MX900. Reviews said it is a solid mouse though it has occasional problems in games (and I game a fairly decent amount). So, are there better Bluetooth mice out there? Which is your favorite?

1How much hardcore gaming could you see yourself doing on the Mini though? It’s definitely not a gamer’s machine.

3I have the “Logitech Cordless Desktop MX for Bluetooth” (horrible product name) that includes the MX 900 mouse and am pretty satisfied. I use it on both a PC and a Mac and it works well with both. You can even switch between the two decently easy, especially FROM the PC to the Powerbook.
It’s a pain in the ass to get anything to pair with my PC if neither the mouse or keyboard is connected. You push the button on the mouse and on the base station like it says to, but for no apparent reason it requires you to click on things to move to the next steps. Kinda hard to do with no mouse or keyboard.

4I use a MX 700, the non-bluetooth kind so I cannot comment on the bluetooth performance. The Mouse itself is fairly heavy, but feels solid. I have a medium sized hand (whatever that means), and this mouse is the most comfortable that I’ve ever used.
There are many extra buttons, but only 3 of them are readily accessable.
-Both thumb buttons are fine.
-The one right behind the scrollwheel is fine.
The one even behind that button puts my hand in an awkard position, so it’s never used.
-The one in front of the scrollwheel is a tiny bit far away and I end up pushing the scrollwheel button half the time.
For WoW, I use two thumb buttons instead of ’shift’ and ‘control’: makes things so much easier and faster. And I haven’t noticed any problems with the mouse. Besides which, If you’re using Mac Mini for gaming, this mouse will probably be the last thing I’d consider a bottleneck.

5okay, just clear this up. Me and gaming mean me and Warcraft III. I’ve already decided (whether it likes it or not) that warcraft III is going to run fine on my Mac Mini. PC Gaming = Warcraft III, Counter Strike, and probably Half Life 2 but I haven’t played it yet.

6The Logitech is very nice, I own a Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer (The 3.0 version if I’m not mistaken) and I’m very satisfied with it, I haven’t had any problems for games with it, if I were to buy a bluetooth mouse I think I’d go for the Bluetooth Version of it, now I can’t work without it’s two extra buttons on the side ;)
If you want to have a look at both of them here’s the link to the Microsoft site:

Very responsive and I do a lot of photoshop airbrushing…

10OEM Software
Now there is no need to wait for weeks till you get software on a
CD!
You can download all applications you need right after purchasing them!
We are glad to offer you the most popular localized software. German,
French, Italy, Spanish, English and many other languages of the world!
You can download and install any application right after you have
purchased it and you do not need any more to wait for a CD for weeks.
Are you surprised with our low prices? You wonder why we offer you so
cheap applications, they are supposed to cost 5 to 20 times more though.
The answer is very simple! We sell OEM applications. OEM software is not
final customer-oriented, it is meant for large corporations which use a
lot of computing machines. These businesses do not need to buy a user
manual or a branded box. All they need is a software media, e.g. a CD.
Along with a boxed set the manufacturer also provides customers with
technical support and some bonus. OEM products have no extra like this
which brings down the cost. This is the reason why OEM software is so
cheap. So anyway why pay ten times more for what you can buy much
cheaper. Each program always has an instruction in the menu “Help”
describing in detail how the application works. Boxed user manual is
just a duplicate of the electronic guide.
