Best bluetooth laser mouses for macbook ??

Hi,
Could anyone suggest me couple of good bluetooth laser mouses for macbook ?
I wish to have these features
1).No transceiver
2).It should support back button
3).Battery Life Indicator (preferable)
4).Price under 50 $ ..:)
Anyone using "Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 " ??.. i read that mac users are having problem with using back button in this particular model .. is that true , if so, any workaround to overcome it ??
Thanks ,
Nelson

Hey Nelson, I happen to use a logitech bluetooth travel mouse. I think the model is a M-RCQ142. It needs no transmitter, or receiver to be hooked up to the laptop. You just turn it on, and boom, you're working. It was under 50$, around 35 i think. It has a back button, its white, and works great. The Mac salesman at CompUsa sold it to me when i bought my Mac, But i think you should be able to find it at Best Buy or online.

HP Bluetooth Laser Mouse - anyone know how well it works with Leopard?

I have no doubt that it should connect fine to my Boot Camp Windows XP, but has anyone used this mouse with a MacBook? Is it a good mouse in general? What about Leopard - are all of it's buttons and functions available?
This is the mouse I am looking at : http://www.amazon.co.uk/HP-Bluetooth-Laser-Mouse-wireless/dp/B0013JX38S/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&m=A3J0NC2R65XHPW&s=generic&qid=1223575379&sr=1-1

I got the HP mouse today, it looks very sleek and seems to connect effortlessly in Leopard and Tiger, has a good amount of hand support too. The only immediate concern is that the tracking speed seems to go from average to WOAH THERE!!! with little in between (like the shower that only has two settings - freezing cold or scolding hot). The tracking is very fine though so I guess smaller more refined movements may be in order. Haven't found how to make the scroll wheel sideways button action work yet, but at least I have a scroll wheel again.
I got this mainly for Windows gaming on the MacBook so the Windows drivers are probably much better and more refined for that purpose.

Can't scroll with Bluetooth Laser Mouse as administrator in Windows 7

Hi,
I can't scroll using the Bluetooth Laser Mouse scroll wheel if I open an application "as administrator" in Windows 7 (German Windows 7 SP1 64 bit, Lenovo Mouse Suite 6.48). If I open the same application in the regular fashion, i.e. not "as administrator", scrolling works fine. Applications tested: SciTE, Notepad++.
I have experienced problems with scrolling before in older Mozilla apps (Firefox, Thunderbird). Luckily, these are gone with newer versions. Using the trick I learned back then to disable universal scrolling didn't help here.
Best regards,
Malte

Hi,
Thanks for your help. Unfortenately, it didn't work.
Here is what I did:
- uninstall Mouse Suite 6.48
- reboot
- execute the installer for Mouse Suite 6.50 "as administrator"
- reboot
- open SciTE, scrolling with the scroll wheel does work.
- open SciTE "as administrator", scrolling with the scroll wheel does not work

Thinkpad bluetooth laser mouse won't scroll in VMware

Hi,
I have the Thinkpad bluetooth laser mouse, which I really love, and use extensively VMware on my T500.
Unfortunately the scroll wheel doesn't work in my VMware marchine (it's a XP pro VM)
when I plug a very old usb IBM mouse the wheel does work however.
I tried to install the Lenovo Mouse suite on the VM itself but it didn't pick the mouse, which I believe is normal since VMware is already providing the driver for the mouse.
When I look in the hardware tab of the mouse properties in control panel, it list 3 devices:
VMware Pointing Device
HID compliant mouse
HID compliant mouse
Has anyone a clue on how to enable the laser mouse wheel?
likewise, the scroll on the touchpad won't work neither.
I tried to play with the hardware option but nothing came successful.
some collegues have hogitech mice and the wheel works fine.
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem. The mice work fine mostly with host system regardless to operation system(XP/W7/Ubuntu), but the scroll doesn't work in vmware. I don't think it is related to virtual system because any other mouse work fine in the same virtual OS. I think Lenovo should to investigate it and change the behavior of scroll wheel because it seems to be different to other mouse. I like the feature that the scroll wheel is working in current window where the pointer is, but maybe the feature cause the problem, the scroll wheel is out of work in vmware.

Something nice to say...about my bluetooth laser mouse, &c.

I would like to take a break from my rants over on "New and Improved Shipping Thread" and say something nice about a piece of equipment I received as part of my T400 order.
My new little bluetooth laser mouse really is the bomb, and I truly enjoy using it. I have never been a mouse kinda guy, preferring keyboard shortcuts all these years. However, I find this mouse to be wonderfully complementary to the T41 I use now, and look forward to including it in my T400 kit, once it arrives. I appreciate the roller wheel tilt (new school for "alt+back arrow"), and its general feel in use. Its upper surface is covered in same/similar lid material as TPads.
The tilt wheel, finish and feel in hand, these are some of the small reasons why I have stuck with IBM/Lenovo. Does anyone recall the little flip out legs on the backside of earlier laptops. I do, and always looked at the thoughtfulness given to the design of these machines as beyond compare. The spring loaded CD trap door on the Aptivas? A bit weird, but this feature gave really clean lines to that machine. ThinkLight? Shlt, when you have to take notes in a darkened lecture hall because the department cannot afford an expensive high-lumen projector, pretty much screwed when you can't touch type. ThinkLight!
Just my two cents.
A hui hou,
Mark

From further investigation:
100% Reproducible Failure
When I opened Firefox 11.0 with only a single tab, the window control icons (Minimize, Maximize, Close) would highlight properly on mouseover and work properly when clicked. When I then opened or switched to another tab, there was no highlighting on mouseover and they no longer responded to clicks. Other mouse actions did work properly, including window control icons in other applications I tested.
I uninstalled and then reinstalled Firefox 11.0, set it to a new empty profile, but the problem persisted. I checked for other reports of this problem in Firefox, and while I did find a (very) few similar reports, I found nothing to indicate a general problem in Firefox.
Successful Fix
I uninstalled ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse, Lenovo Mouse Suite, ThinkPad UltraNav Utility, ThinkPad UltraNav Driver, and rebooted, which installed just the TrackPoint with the Microsoft PS/2 Compatible Driver, and the problem did not recur. I think installed the two UltraNav packages with System Update, and then the Lenovo Mouse Suite with the ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse, and the problem still did not recur. It continues to work properly.
My Assessment
My assessment is that something subtle had gotten screwed up in Lenovo UltraNav and/or Mouse Suite, which was corrected by uninstalling and then reinstalling everything. I do not think this is a problem in Firefox.
Hope that helps,
John

Thinkpad Bluetooth Laser Mouse connection

My new bluetooth laser mouse will not connect. The green light on the mouse comes on when I turn it on, but goes off within seconds. While still on, it does not connect to my thinkpad T500. Yes, the slider button on left front edge is turned on (green square). Tech support call back is loooooog been awaited. Any suggestions?

First thing that comes to mind is to make sure that bluetooth is turned on. The F5 key allows you to turn on/off wireless and bluetooth. Also, I'm assuming you went through the steps to pair the mouse with the computer.
A problem that I was having at one time is that my bluetooth would just stop working for some reason. The solution was the steps listed below. They were copied from another post. If you want to read the entire thing it's in this post - http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-B-V-and-Z-series/Y550P-Bluetooth-connection-drops/m-p/193192
Go to device manager (under my computer)
Open 'Bluetooth radios'
Right click on 'bluetooth module' NOT enumerator
Select 'properties'
Go to 'power management' tab
Uncheck the 'allow computer to shut device off to save power' box
Hope some of this helps. Good luck.

Lenovo Bluetooth Laser Mouse Disconnects Regularily

I have a problem with my ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse. It disconnects when it wants too. This is very annoying. Anyone having the same problem and a solution?
W510, Windows 7 Professional, Intel i7, 1.73GHz, 4GB RAM.

Hello:
My experience over the past 4 years (with numerous different computers, OS, etc.) is that Bluetooth mice have a habit of being cranky from time to time. I don't think this is a result of a problem with any specific model of computer, model of mouse, or operating system, I think it's just the nature of using Bluetooth to connect mice.
Long ago, I spent several days trying to troubleshoot the problem, but was never able to nail it down. This past week, I bought a new W520 and discovered that the BT mouse was once again occasionally intermittent. So... I went to the local office supply store, bought a conventional wired mouse for $20, and that solve the problem 100%.
I think that some small headaches are just not worth chasing after, especially when a 'low tech' $20 fix will solve the problem instantly and permanantly. There's more discussion of the same topic here, in the W Series forum: Mouse Dropping Connection...

ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse button hardware issue

I love my mouse, but the left button has recently been loosing its sensitivity, i.e. I need to click it several times before it responds. The issue is the same on several computers running different operating systems, so I strongly suspect this is an issue with the mouse itself. Does anyone know about cleaning techniques or other ways to troubleshoot the possibility of dust or dirt under the buttons?

Hi!
I tried to install the bluetooth laser mouse on my X300 + Vista 32 system. Due to some reason I installed it once and then neededto reinstall it. The driver software asked me to unistall the previous installation so I did.
Now, when I try to install the driver again, the software tells me that a newer version is already installen on my system and I need to remove it (there is no way to continue the installation, it abborts). However, since I have already uninstalled the previous driver I can not locate any unistall programm.
The version of the driver is: 6.23
The mouse model No is: 45K1281
Thank you for help!

Lenovo ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse 0A36407 battery life

I am wondering what is the real battery life of Lenovo ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse (0A36407) ? Connected to Windows 8.1 machine. Lenovo advertises 4 to 6 months but I'd like to know the real value

It depends on the user scenario(How many hours you will use and if you will turn off the mouse at night). Based on my experience, it is about 6 months or more.
