Best Bluetooth mouse

What are people's recommendations on a bluetooth full size mouse (not the mini "notebook" size)
Needs to be precise, reliable, leopard compatible and have multiple buttons and a scroll wheel.

UPDATE:
I use Archicad and need to be able to quickly click on an exact point of an object. So accuracy down to every pixel is important to me.
I tried the BT Mighty Mouse but the response and accuracy was not good enough for my use. It seemed that I could move the pointer across the screen to where I wanted it to be fairly quickly but then I would have difficulty making a precise perfect pixel click. It seemed to wander a bit.
I am currently trying out the RadTech BT-600. It comes with software called RadMouse which allows you to control the pointer settings. I was able to get the pixel point accuracy by turning the Speed to its lowest setting but its accuracy to the fastest. That way I can zip across the screen but when I get the pointer to where I want its speed is slow so I can accurately click on a pixel without any "wandering". BUT the BT-600 loses connection a lot. This might be an issue with all the Macs in the office running bluetooth too.
Anyone else have any reviews to share?

  • Best Bluetooth mouse is....?

    Hi all, I just bought a MacBook Pro a few days ago.
    I'm researching bluetooth mice and there are SO many out there! What are your opinions as to which I should get???

    The only time I've ever had my BT Mighty Mouse lose its signal has been when the batteries have run flat. Never been an issue for me, and I use one with three different Macs. Never had a problem with right clicking, either. The amount of force required is identical to that for left clicking.
    The only real issue that I've experienced with MM (and I've been using one since they first came out) has been the need to regularly clean the scroll ball. You have to do this every couple of weeks (just rub the ball up and down and round and round on a clean piece of paper with the mouse held upside down) if you want to avoid problems with scrolling, and the need for a more difficult cleaning job.
    Personally I prefer it over the various Logitech's that we have. Fits my hand better and the horizontal scolling helpful, especially on smaller screens.
    Cheers

  • What's the best, most reliable, Bluetooth mouse?

    Hello! My new 13" Aluminum MacBook is suppose to be delivered today and I am wanting to purchase the best bluetooth mouse to use with it. My research seems to show the mighty mouse has serious design flaws. Any recommendations>

    I use both a MSI and (ironically) a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse with my MacBook. Both "just work" as expected including scroll wheels etc.

    Probably best to ask in the community dedicated to iWork for iOS.

  • Bluetooth mouse no longer works

    My Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 mouse no longer works after install of the latest 10.6.4 update
    any reason this could be? (Also forgive the use of a microsoft mouse haha)

    I had the same issue since the latest OSX upgrade. Bluetooth mouse 5000 just stopped working and couldnt be set up again.
    I installed the latest Intellipoint 8 drivers from microsoft.
    google microsoftmouse_d279.dmg and run it.
    reboot the mac after installing.
    going through the usual mouse setup in system preferences still gives you the same error so forget that. Instead, go to Bluetooth settings and add new device manually. finds the mouse and connects.
    hope this helps.
    BTW.. BT mouse 5000 is the best mouse i own and i have many!!! was devastated when it stopped working. Happy to be using it now again...

  • 10.6.8 Bluetooth mouse has quit. But the mouse works with laptop and Mavericks.

    OSX 10.6.8 iMac - Bluetooth mouse has quit. Batteries are good and the mouse works on Maverick laptop. It seems something is wrong in the operating system. I can't do a Safe Boot from the keyboard. Your thoughts, please.

    Hi ManKan70,
    If you are experiencing issues with your Bluetooth mouse connecting to your iMac, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Bluetooth mouse lag

    So here is the situation: I have a Macbook Pro (early 2009 model) with an Apple wireless keyboard and a Logitech V270 bluetooth mouse. Recently, I've been experiencing mouse lag (to the point where I can hardly even use the mouse anymore). The lag is intermittent, but is there more often than not. I've been pounding my head searching for a solution to this problem, and after scouring forums and trying different solutions, I gave up completely on finding a remedy. But before I threw in the towel, I tried one more thing: I disabled the bluetooth on the Apple keyboard and tested the mouse. To my amazement, it worked perfectly! I re-enabled the keyboard, and sure enough the lag returned. Now that I have isolated the cause of the problem, I was wondering if anyone had a solution that would allow me to continue using both my keyboard and mouse? (I have my MacBook on a stand, so it would be impractical to not have one or the other).
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

    Update:
    Upgraded to 10.6.5 - No difference..
    Changed/tried all wifi channels - No change to problem.
    Tried a Mac Mouse - slightly less effect but still unusable.
    Tried a USB BT dongle type mouse (no using internal BT AP) - Same issue
    Tried on a friends Wireless Network - Problem only slightly evident - to be expected as this was a slow network at about 1.9MB/s, a transfer speed that does not show the problem.
    Tried using a Netgear wireless intBT mouse router - Problem is only slightly evident on Mac Mighty Mouse, worse on Logitech, evident slightly on ext BT mouse.
    With the Wireless nw running a transfer at 3MB/s, this Network speed drops down to a very slow speed when the "Set up Bluetooth Device" utility is initiated.
    So given that this issue is also experienced by MacBook owners when using BT mouse while doing a File transfer via USB external HDD, or Time Machine. My conclutions are either:
    1.
    The USB ports, BT chipsset and Airport Chipset are all using the same data bus in the Macbook.
    This data bus is not capable of running a high speed, contiguous data transfer in a single direction AND transfer BT wireless data at the same time. Apple Architects may be able to work around this issue by appling higher priority to BT data transfer tasks (Mouse), as it does when the "Set up Bluetooth Device" utility is running.
    or
    2. The BT wireless hardare is eisily susseptable to RF interference. This dont explain USB drive influences however.
    My best bet is to log a Hardware repair request with Apple, as this is indeed a Hardware issue.

  • MacBook Pro Bluetooth Mouse Issue - Possible Bug??

    I recently purchased the new MacBook Pro and I have a weird issue with both the bluetooth Mighty Mouse and another Microsoft bluetooth mouse.
    So first, I purchased the mighty mouse thinking it would work great with my new MacBook, however, after pairing it and turning up the scrolling to the highest setting it was still way to slow for movement across the screen requiring me to pick up the mouse and move it to get all the way across.
    I had also installed Windows 7 on Parallels and was able to install my Microsoft Presenter Mouse 8000 on that with a dongle and it moved super fast just like I liked it. I had to use the dongle because for some reason Parallels didn't show the internal bluetooth. So I thought I would try using my Microsoft Presenter Mouse 8000 on the Mac side so I downloaded the Intellipoint 6.3 software that is made for mac and installed it on the machine then paired up my MS mouse. I then went in and set the settings to their highest settings for scrolling and once again I had the same issue as with the Mighty Mouse. Way too slow.
    So then I took it to one of the Geek Squad guys at Best Buy in my area to see if he could figure it out and he was stumped as well. However, after playing with it a bit we discovered that if you went into the native keyboard/mouse settings in the system preferences folder and dragged the scrolling setting to it's lowest setting and then back to the highest setting the Microsoft Mouse would move super fast like it is supposed to. I got all excited, however, the problem is that as soon as you closed that dialog box it goes back to slow again. Weirdest thing ever.
    So I have no idea what would cause that and would love some feedback from you all. I think it is a bug because in my opinion the Might Mouse should work better than anything else. Any thoughts anyone?

    This problem can be caused because of the mouse pad. Try using a dark color one with no reflective glare. Sometimes the light bounces.

  • Bluetooth Mouse not working properly

    I have a MAC bluetooth mouse and recently the scroll wheel only works to scroll up, left and right, but not down. I have tried turning off/on the computer, force quitting the Finder, turning off and on again the mouse. Nada...
    Any thoughts how to fix this?

    This is a common fault with the MM. There are many threads on this. Certainly googling will gives you plenty of results!
    The best solution I found from a tip was to remove the batteries or turn it off and then rub the mouse upside down on a clean piece of white paper. Move it in all directions - 360 degrees.
    Carefully though so as not to put too much pressure on the buttons.
    After a while look at all the dirt on the paper which has been transferred from the ball.
    Turn it back on and voila! A fully functioning MM.
    Try it! You'll be surprised.

  • Bluetooth Mouse stops working after software updates

    Hello,
    I've been using a Bluetooth mouse with my X220 Tablet for several months now. After fiddling with device manager to ensure that the Thinkpad Bluetooth device does not have the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" setting set, things were working perfectly.
    However, after running through some windows & Lenovo updates, the mouse now seems to work for a while, but after any idle time, the mouse stops working. Turning the mouse off & back on seems to cause it to reconnect, and it works until the next time it goes idle for 2 minutes.
    I've gone through device manager, and made sure both the Bluetooth & USB Root devices are set not to power down (per http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Bluetooth-mouse-stops-working-from-time-to-tim... ), but still no luck.
    The software updates applied from the Lenovo System Update tool were:
    ThinkPad Power Management Driver: 1.67.04.05
    ThinkPad Power Manager: 6.64.4
    Lenovo Solution Center: 2.4.002
    Intel G1/G2 Display Driver: 9.17.10.3347
    Also, some windows updates  which don't seem related (mostly security), but I can lookup the list of KB numbers if helpful.
    Are there any known issues with the power manager updates that might affect this? If so, what's the best way to revert to the last working version?
    Thanks!

    Try doing a PRAM reset and see if that helps, also put in new batteries as that may make a difference.

  • Bluetooth Mouse can not connect...

    Hi All, I am aware this is an issue however can not figure out how to resolve it. I have a 2007 macbook 2.16 dual core I'm using a bluetooth mouse which works perfectly with Mac OSX Lion. However when I switch to Bootcamp running Windows 7 64 bit, the mouse can not connect. The computer will find the mouse but when I click on the mouse icon in the bluetooth setup to continue installation the circle spins and spins and says connecting to device and nothing happens. The mouse works and bluetooth works, but not in bootcamp. I am tech savy so hit me with your best shot. Thank you!!

    Vnahaze2000, I still haven't figured out the problem. Try this website, it's from apple. There are drivers you can install which will hopefully alleviate your problem. I downloaded every driver and unfortunatelly no luck. But maybe it will help you. http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents      Good luck!!

  • Which bluetooth mouse?

    I would like to get some opinions on what bluetooth mouse will work best for me.
    I will be doing photoshop work and some art. I cannot afford an intuos3 so I need something that one can comfortably draw a straight line with.
    Any opinios welcome.

    Ask the mouse manufacturer.

  • Bluetooth Mouse Support?

    Hi,
    Recently we announced the USB dongle product to share PC's keyboard and mouse with smart phone.
    Please refer to the following Youtube video how it works.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n95bSTMQfFU&feature=related
    Android smart phone support both keyboard and mouse, so it's very convenient,
    but iphone only support bluetooth keyboard.
    Especially for iPad, it's necessary to support both keyboard and mouse for easy editing documents.
    Do you have any plan to upgrade iOS to suuport bluetooth mouse?
    Best Regards,

  • Re: Logitech Travel Bluetooth mouse stopped working with my Satellite A300/

    Whilst happily using my Logitech Travel Bluetooth mouse, suddenly it stopped working, thinking it was a mouse problem, I first put a new battery in, but still not working. Had a look in the Bluetooth settings and it was still showing in there, at this point the computer was still in warranty. Later I tried to connect my mobile and that worked ok, so I was now convinced that it was the mouse. Rang the shop where I bought it, tough luck mate, we are not interested in helping you...thanks!
    Some time later I got a chance to try the mouse on another computer, hey presto it worked fine....yippee maybe it will now work on mine...no such luck. So now I am thinking that there must be a problem with my laptop...and of course the warranty is now run out!
    I have now deleted the Laser mouse in the Bluetooth settings, thinking being that maybe a new search and install could solve the issue, but now whilst it sees my phone it cannot connect to it and it does not even see the Laser mouse at all.
    The driver version it is using is 5.0.2518 which is probably what came with the computer. As far as I know I have never updated it.
    This all seems strange to me that one moment it is working and the next it is not...anyway is it worth trying to update the driver software> or am I barking up the wrong tree.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    JD

    Thanks for your reply hammer.
    I have now installed the latest bluetooth drivers, the only thing that has happened is that it can now connect to my mobile phone. the mouse is still a no goer.
    All the drivers seem to be there and I took a note of the versions prior to the update, they have all been updated ok, there are no crosses against any item in the Device Manager.
    Hmm hardware issue could be a bit difficult. But as it is now out of warranty maybe I will need to take it apart myself and see if I can find out the problem.
    Must say that I am slightly disapointed to have this happen....I bought Toshiba cos from all accounts it is supposed to be the best out there, but next time I think it may be a different brand.
    cheers.
