Bluetooth Might Mouse Weight?

I'm sorry if this has been discussed, but a quick search didn't come up with anything.
I'm considering selling me Might Mouse (Apple is sending me a brand new one to replace a broken one) and get the Bluetooth Mighty Mouse, but my concern is its weight.
I owned the Wireless Mouse and wasn't very happy how heavy it was. When the Might Mouse came out I was thrilled it was so light and the cord isn't that big of a deal. What I would like is a light Mighty Mouse with the laser tracking, wireless is a bonus to me.
How heavy is the Bluetooth Might Mouse compared to the MM or the original Wireless Mouse?
Thanks for your help everyone!

Since the Mighty Mouse ships with Lithium batteries, the weight is less then if you were to use the mouse with regular alkaline batteries. If you hold two alkalines in one hand, and two lithiums in the other, you can tell the difference.

Bluetooth Might Mouse Problems

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but:
My bluetooth might mouse stops working after about 5 minutes of use. The arrow moves, but it's impossible to click on anything. Sometimes the arrow grabs a window, and it's impossible to let go of it.
If I turn the mouse off, then back on, it works fine, but this is really annoying!
Thanks for any input!
Rob

I am running into the same problem. I have yet to figure out a fix except turn the mouse on and off. Lately (as of yesterday) the mouse won't wake my machine up from sleep. When I press a key on the laptop's keyboard, it wakes up with a message that the connection to the mouse was lost.

Bluetooth Might Mouse Not Detected in Boot Camp Windows XP

Title says it all. I'm using a Mac Book Pro. I've slid the bottom of the mouse open and closed and a dialog actually came up to enter the pass code. I did, it was successfully set up but my mouse won't move. I have to go to my track pad...

I got it to work. Just using Winblows...blows. I had to open and close the mouse & click and move with it about a thousand times and added it about a hundred times before it started to work. I'm sticking with my Logitech Laser Mouse.

Using the bluetooth mighty mouse

My original bluetooth mouse died so I bought the new bluetooth might mouse. This is a really nice mouse. Does it go to sleep like the original bluetooth mouse? I never turned that one off.

Thanks, Andy. I could have looked that up for myself, couldn't I? Still better late than never. Here are a couple of interesting things I've found at Green Batteries.
*Why do my alkaline batteries run down so quickly when used in a digital camera (or other electronic device)?*
Alkaline batteries were not designed to meet the very high power demands of today's electronic devices. Alkaline batteries have a high rated capacity, but they can only deliver their full capacity if the power is used slowly. (See chart). Electronic devices such as digital cameras place a high power drain on batteries, so it is much better to use rechargeable NiMH or NiCd batteries for these type of devices. Lithium batteries also work well in high drain applications but they are expensive and are not designed to be recharged.
*Can NiMH batteries be substituted for alkaline batteries even though they are only 1.2 volts?*
Yes, for most high drain electronic applications NiMH batteries are ideal substitutes and you needn't worry about the apparent voltage differences. Even though alkaline batteries are rated at a nominal 1.5 volts, they only deliver 1.5 volts when they are fully charged. As they begin to discharge the voltage of alkaline batteries continuously drops. In fact, over the course of their discharge, alkaline batteries actually average about 1.2 volts. That's very close to the 1.2 volts of a NiMH battery. The main difference is that an alkaline battery starts at 1.5 volts and gradually drops to less than 1.0 volts. NiMH batteries stay at about 1.2 volts for most of their discharge cycle.

Sluggish Bluetooth mighty mouse

I recently purchased a bluetooth might mouse. Now I also use a blue wacom tablet. If I have both active at the same time, the tablet still works fine, but the mouse behaves sluggish and jumpy. Is this normal and is there a way around it? Seems like the system should be able to handle two blue connections at once smoothly.

Hi piratemc74
It's like there is only so much bandwidth on some channel that is shared with wireless and bluetooth.
Yup that's correct but "The more I think about it, the more I think I should think about it some more."
I don't use Bluetooth so I don't know it's options but I know how it all works. If your WiFi & Bluetooth are using the 'Automatic' channel selection to avoid interference then that's the problem. If so then change the WiFi to use one channel (1, 6 or 11) and see what happens.
Good Luck.

Logitech V470 Vs Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

Hi ,
I would like to go for a Bluetooth (must be transceiver free) laser mouse .Among the following models , which one wud be the best choice ..
1).Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks with Bluetooth technology
2).Microsoft Bluetooth® Notebook Mouse 5000
Any suggestions from existing users of these models ...or any other model which is better than the above two ?
Thanks,
Nelson

I also was debating between these two mice, as I previously had a Mighty Mouse Laser BT, and its tracking was terrible. I also bought a Gear Heads 1600dpi mouse, and while the tracking was excellent on it, I couldn't stand how long it took to come 'back' after the computer had been to sleep and it would go into it's own 'sleep mode' within 2 minutes of inactivity, causing a delay before using it again that was well over 5 seconds - very annoying!
I wound up buying the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 because I happened to like it's design a bit more and because it's rated at 1000dpi rather than the Logitech v470's 800dpi (Yeah I know... not a big difference).
Nonetheless, I have a Time Capsule running at 5ghz and a Linksys router running at 2.4ghz and I notice no lag or skipping that has been reported with the v470. The response time of the mouse is excellent, and there is no lag/delay when using the mouse after a short period of inactivity. When resuming my MBP from sleep it comes back to life in about 3-4 seconds, which is even faster than the mighty mouse was for me.
This mouse is considerably better than the (much cheaper) gear heads mouse I had before. Interestingly the gear heads mouse is 1600dpi and does provide a faster and slightly more precise tracking experience, but it goes to sleep every minute I leave it alone providing for a very long delay before it resumes (sometimes up to 10 seconds!)
Something to note: without installing a third party driver (like Steermouse) you will not be able to get the extra 'back' button to work in OS X; this annoyed me slightly when I first paired it.
It seems that the Microsoft 5000 might be the better choice for those who stumble upon this thread looking for the same thing I was!

Fix for Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse Freeze problem.

After deleting the following file: /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
And re-pairing my Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse all of my freezing problems have been resolved.

For what it's worth...
I have read a bunch of different threads on this. So far I have:
- downgraded my TimeCapsule (still had problems)
- Upgraded to 10.5.7 (still had problems)
- made both the bluetooth keyboard and might mouse "favorites" per http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1907901&tstart=30
- disabled bluetooth in the network panel
...and left an old PC mouse connected to a USB port.
The add as favorites / disable in network panel I have done fairly recently and - so far - no problems.
YMMV...

HP Bluetooth X4000b Mouse Unstable

After upgrading to Mavericks from Lion, my HP Bluetooth X4000b Mouse has become unstable. It just begins to wander around and does not track the actual physical movement of the mouse. I have removed the mouse from the bluetooth and then used the Bluetooth Setup Wizard to pair the Mouse again. The same problem exists. Does anyone have suggestions for how I might correct this problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

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.

Sharing Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse with two Mac's

I have a PowerPC and a MacBook Pro. I also have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse I use with the PowerPC. Is there a way I can also use them with the MacBook Pro and "hot swap" between computers? (By "hot swap" I mean thru some software or configuration switch to use the keyboard/mouse with one computer and then with the other without having to go thru disable/discover etc, etc). I'd really would like to avoid having to purchase another bluetooth keyboard/mouse (I have limited desk space). Thanks in advance for all replies.

This might not be exactly what you are after but I suggest you give it a try.
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
It uses TCP/IP connections for the 2 computers but allows you to access each computer's desktop on the primary conputer's screen and move the active use of keyboard and mouse from one to the other as well as having some other features.

How I got the Bluetooth Magic mouse and Aluminum keyboard to work in XP

NOTE: The following steps fixed my issue. I thought I would share what worked for me but I really don't ever visit these discussion groups. I used a combination of Sysinternal tools to isolate what was causing my issue and rectified it.
I couldn't for the life of me get the bluetooth magic mouse and keyboard working in a bootcamp'd windows xp. Here are the steps that I performed to finally get it to work. The assumptions are that you are running a clean XP build with SP3 and all windows updates installed.
1. Using a USB mouse and keyboard. Insert the OS X install disc into the drive and run through the bootcamp drivers install. (These steps are outlined at Page 12 in the Apple Boot Camp Installation Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/bootcampinstall-setup.pdf). Let the installers run per apple instructions in the bootcamp installation guide. At the end it will want to reboot. Reboot the system.
2. After the system reboots login and run the Apple Software Update utility to update from bootcamp 3.1 to 3.2. It will run through a bunch of installers and ask to reboot at the end. Reboot.
3. After the system reboots login and go to start=>run and type "services.msc" to bring up the services control panel.
4. Double-click the "Bluetooth Support Service" to open the properties.
5. Go to the "log on" tab and look to see what is set. If it is set to "NT Authority\LocalService" then click above it to change to "Local System account." Then click "OK." It will tell you the changes won't take effect until the service is restarted. No worries.
6. You will be back in the main services control panel. Make sure the "Bluetooth Support Service" is highlighted and look up to the left and select "restart the service."
7. Close all the open windows and then go to start=>run and type "control panel" and hit enter.
8. Double-click the "Bluetooth devices" control panel applet and follow the Apple instructions provided on Page 18 of the guide referred to earlier. Start with the mouse first. Stop when done with the mouse and don't continue on to the keyboard yet.
9. At this point my mouse was "installed" but did not show "connected" in the bluetooth devices applet. I then highlighted the mouse and clicked the "properties" button down to the right.
10. Once in the properties of the mouse I selected the "services" tab. My issue before making the switch to "Local System" account for the Bluetooth services was then when I tried to click the check box to enable "Drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (HID)" I would get an "access denied" error. Now that the switch has been made you should be able to click that check box without error. Click OK after enabling.
11. You will suddenly see systray (lower right of the screen where the clock is) saying that new hardware has been detected and enabled. Once this is all done you will see "connected" below the device in the Bluetooth applet. Give your mouse a go. It should be working now. Sweet!
12. Follow the steps in the Apple guide for your keyboard. This should work too now. Sweet!
Best of luck.

It depends on how far it is and how thick your walls are. If there plasterboard partitions and only 10 feet apart then probably.
If you have a mobile phone with bluetooth, then try sending the computer a picture of file from similar distances to that you intend using the keyboard, if it works then a bluetooth keyboard and mouse should.

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks.

I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse & Windows XP using Bootcamp

Are there plans to add functionality for the bluetooth mighty mouse in Windows XP using bootcamp??
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) I run Bootcamp, as well as OS X

I was able to get it to work in Windows XP. I was not using Boot Camp since I have a IBM ThinkPad T41p, but it should work the same.

My Bluetooth Mighty Mouse has totally stopped working

I have a bluetooth Mighty Mouse that seems to have stopped working. I was using it on a trip over in Guam. Then I came back to the states and it was in my suitcase/unused for several weeks with the batteries in it. Now that we have moved into an apartment, I would like to start using it again. But when I turn it on by sliding the little slider switch on the bottom, the little green light doesn't blink any more and it doesn't seem to be recognized by my computer. I have tried it with recharged batteries and other batteries, but no luck. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? I would really like to get this thing working without having to buy a new mouse. I have noticed that there is a little white tab just above where the batteries go. When the back cover is on, it appears that the slider switch somehow pushes on this little white tab. But with the cover off, this little white tab has some play in it (up and down) and can rattle around. Could there be something under this tab that is stuck down? Any advice would be appreciate! Thanks!

Hello ba:
No light=no power to the device.
If you happen to be near an Apple store, take the mouse in and have them try it on one of their systems. I do not think there would be any charge for that.

[Solved] Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse - Scrolling

Hi All,
I have been able to pair my Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 with my new installation of Arch.
All buttons work, and mouse movement is fine. However. I have been unable to get the scroll to work.
I have been trying to achieve this using hotplugging method. I have saved an fdi file at /etc/hal/fdi/policy/btmouse.fdi
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
# <match key="info.product" contains="macintosh">
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
# <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>
# <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelTimeout" type="string">200</me$
<merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
# <merge key="input.x11_options.protocol" type="string">auto</merge>
</match>
# </match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
I have looked through the forums and wiki and have been able to find little information regarding the scroll function of the mouse in hotplugging and what options correlate.
The only info i have found is here --> http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Log … rble_Mouse.
Could someone explain where i am going wrong...???

Hi,
I bought this mouse a few days ago, and it works fine, even scrolling. However, I don't use an xorg.conf file at all. Have you tried to get rid of it (take a backup of course first ) and see what happens? Also, although I tampered the fdi file for the synaptics touchpad, I didn't bother at all for the bluetooth mouse. Still, everything works fine.
