Mouse for Macbook

I am in need of a mouse to use with my Macbook. Can i use a mouse that connects via bluetooth? Do you suggest the Apple Mighty Mouse or a different one?
Thanks much

Yes, a bluetooth mouse is certainly an option, as is a USB mouse. I've used both at different times. The USB mouse has the advantage of not needing to use extra battery power if you're not plugged in, but the bluetooth mouse has the advantage of not needing a base or connector of some sort, if you're wireless. It's all personal preference.
I'm currently using the Mighty Mouse (wireless) and like it very much, except when I have a little difficulty right-clicking. Sometimes it works and sometimes it's stubborn. <G>

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.

Good tracking speed, CHEAP, big, quality and reliable mouse for macbook pro

Hi mac people,
I need a mouse for this all purposes:
1)Reduce using the build in trackpad(to protect my built in trackpad)
2)Sometime I want casual gaming(Simcity,ps1 game, some other point and shoot game)
3)I 'm 183cm tall, so my hand is quite big, and I use my macbook pro as my primary pc, so need a all day use mouse(but I use my mac only about 3 hour a day).
4)as mentioned in title.
Thanks everyone for sharing advice!!!!!

As everyone's hands are different, I'd suggest going to any store with computer accessories and simply trying the feel of whatever brands of mice they sell.

Bluetooth Keyboard (integrated with mouse) for MacBook

I'm going to hook my MacBook to my TV, and I'm looking for a bluetooth keyboard with mouse/trackball integrated to control the MacBook. Can anyone give me a recommendation?

Full Functional Mouse For Macbook?

Alright, I just bought my first Apple laptop. I've had a desktop for about a year now and love the features it has. One of my favorite things is the functionality of the mouse. I love being able to view all screens open at once and being able to see the dashboard with a click of the button.
Is this not possible on the Macbook? I've got an external mouse hooked up (third party) but I have no options to make these functions work. Does anyone have any success with this?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

The VX Revolution will work just fine with SteerMouse. The Nano will require using the Logitech software that comes with the mouse. The VX has 3 more buttons than the Nano. The Vx has 10 buttons plus scroll wheel. The VX is also slightly bigger. Both use a USB plug-in. The Nano's is very small and barely protrudes from the USB port. The VX's is larger. The VX has a slot in which the USB plug can be stored. The Nano does not have a storage slot. The Nano is less expensive than the VX.
I have both. My preference is for the VX, but the Nano is still an excellent mouse.

Mouse for macbook air?

sounds silly i know, but i have a PC mouse and it doesn't seem to be compatible with my MacBook Air. do i really need to spend $70 for a mouse that is fully compatible? by the way, i really don't like the tracking pad - now i have a painful wrist and on my way to carpal tunnel syndrome, so if you have a mouse suggestion, i'd love to hear it.

Open System Preferences > Mouse, and see if you can change this. Also, look at the Logitech site for drivers > http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support

Good bluetooth mouse for MacBook

I just got a MacBook Pro and I'm looking for a good bluetooth mouse. I use a Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX on my other computers and really like it, but it uses up one of the USB ports, which isn't the end of the world. But if there's a good blueetooth mouse out there I'd like to give it a try. I read some reviews on the Logitech V470 and it seems decent. It appears to go into power saving mode very quickly, which I think would be annoying. Any recommendations?

Perhaps I am missing something, but I can certainly recommend the Apple Magic Mouse. It works very neatly for me, and because it uses the same "stroking" gestures as on my trackpad, it's an easy transition between the two.
Looking at the Logitech mice to which you referred, the only advantage they may have is size - thought the MM is smaller than you think and very portable.

Does Apple make a silver bluetooth mouse for Macbook Pro and Air?

White looks out of place and really doesn't match.

no only white. provide your suggestion here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Mouse for my MacBook Pro.

Hi I have a MacBook Pro and I want to buy a mouse for it. I've looked at the Apple Magic Mouse but it's a little expensive and also has quite a few bad reviews.
I saw a HP mouse in PC World but they told me it wasn't compatible with a Mac. Has anyone any suggestions?

Logitech FTW!!! Got a stable of 4 different mice from them, including the yet unequaled Logitech Air that never ceases to amaze people.

A mouse for my macbook

I'm looking to buy a mouse for my new macbook and am looking for sugestions. I don't want to break the bank but I'd also like something that is white/light in colour to match the computer. I've read some reviews about the mighty mouse that didn't speak to highly of it so I'd like to stay away from it but any other sugestions would be greatly appreciate.

The Mighty Mouse actually isn't that bad. I have one and enjoy it. I would say this much, any USB mouse will work. Bluetooth mice will also work. Do not install the software included with the mouse unless it is known to be Intel Mac compatible and compatible with that operating system. One thing to note about wireless mice, they can often fail to work when the battery level gets low and give no warning that the battery level is low.
Steer Mouse and USB Overdrive are two mice utilities made for Intel Macs to extend the capabilities of third party multibutton mice.

Can i use my iPhone as a mouse for my Macbook Pro?

Hi guys, im very curious if youre able to use an iphone as a mouse for mac. When i mean a mouse i mean as a regular mouse and not that mouse app thing with the screen going on. I mean literally as a regular mouse which you can use like if it was a normal mouse.
Very curious like i mentioned and i hope theres an solution for this as well.

oh kind of disappointed, thought i could do literally EVERYTHING with an iphone.

Best Mouse for my MacBook Pro?

I don't need a mouse for gaming purposes (let's face it Macs are limited in that department), but I do need one that will work well and won't freeze up. Two USB slots get filled pretty quickly, which is why a mouse with Bluetooth capability is preferable.
Any recommendations? I've heard Logitech is not bad, Microsoft either. I'm open to your suggestions. Is there a list that may be compiled of this information already? Oh, and a PC/Mac compatible one would be great too. Thank you!
P.S. Please don't recommend the mighty mouse; right clicking is a must and getting used to its sensors isn't something I'm willing to do for $70.

I might just try that out since the Microsoft Bluetooth 5000 alternative doesn't appeal to me for aesthetic reasons, or I may wait to buy the Logitech Bluetooth Mouse M555b which is slightly more expensive. I like the design of the latter but I'm not entirely sure if its worth the price tag.

Two mighty mouses, one macbook pro.

I have a wireless mighty mouse for home. Sometimes lately when I take my macbook pro somewhere, I noticed I have forgotten my mouse. So, I splurged and bought a 2nd mouse to leave in my case so I never have to remember to bring my desk one.
Well, it's not working as planned. I have to re-sync them (or whatever the term is...). I use the one in the bag all day, shut it off. Go home, start up mac, and now my desktop one doesn't work. It's really very, very annoying and time consuming to do this every time.
I did a quick search here, but just didn't see any definitive answers on why you can't use two (or more) wireless mice with one computer. Each has a unique hookup, so it should work fine.
Any suggestions?

Hello syn:
This is from the Bluetooth help database:

If I read the last bullet correctly, you are trying something that Apple says you should not do (the why, I do not know).

Sleeves & Case for macbook.

What is the best Sleeve or Case for macbook?

There really is no "best" because it depends upon the user. I was never able to find exactly what I wanted so I had one made out of black thick flannel with a velcro envelope flap. Fits snug as a bug.
I also had a black soft canvas backpack with front pocket made in the same style. The backpack is three inches deep, 10 inches wide and 14 inches tall with a velcro envelope flap. The straps are the same canvas material only doubled and include a velcro chest strap to keep it all snug. The front pocket has room for the adapter, a mini-mouse, CD/DVD disks, and a few other things. The pack is just deep enough for the Blackbook and perhaps a half-inch thickness of papers like reports, patient records, letters, etc.
No matter where I looked I couldn't find anything like it. I wanted/needed something light to wear and easy to get in and out of quickly. Yes there are sleeves and backpacks but the sleeves were either too bulky, too gaudy, too stiff, and slapped with a large manufacturer's logo. Finding a simple comfortable soft laptop backpack is near impossible. I don't need to carry a folding tent, sleeping bag and camping stove on my back, just a slim 13" Blackbook.
I get compliments on the backpack all the time (and the sleeve too). If I had the time I would make up a dozen or so and offer them for sale. The pattern for the backpack, believe it or not, came from a Barbie doll pattern: "The Ken Doll Knapsack". I took it to a my elderly neighbor (a retired seamstress) and she used the pattern to create a larger modified version. The Ken Doll pattern called for a buckle closure and buckle adjusting straps and was much deeper. I asked for a velcro replacement and a slimmer casing to hold the Blackbook and a few papers.
So you see, there is no "best" for best is in the eye of the beholder. There are many offerings and look around before jumping off on the first or second sleeve you come across.

Logitech Wireless Mouse and MacBook Pro

Greetings.
I'm thinking about buying a Logitech wireless mouse for my MacBook Pro. The mouse comes with a USB wireless card. Will I need to use this or will the wireless/bluetooth card in the MacBook pick up the mouse by itself?
Cheers,
John

I don't understand your problem. Is it that you can't see the arrow or what? You say the button and all work fine so I am stumped by your question. I have problems with my mouse being recognized by the MBP but I just turn off mouse, restart laptop then turn on mouse and it comes back up. If I ever put my MBP to sleep I shut the mouse off first and wait until it says mouse disconnected or whatever it says..I can't recall. Then I put the MBP to sleep. Once I wake it up turn mouse back on and voila..works!! Maybe try pushing the little "Connect" button on the bottom of the mouse that might help. I have never tried that but just a suggestion.
Sorry if this is all confusing.
