Want a Bluetooth Mouse

So, I just ordered my MBP and, since I'm not particularly fond of track pads, I'm looking for a mouse. Specifically, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Not wires, no dongles, I want to be able to turn it on and work through AirPort/Bluetooth in my MBP. Of course, Bluetooth mice don't seem to be the most common thing out there, so I was wondering if anyone could recommend one. And no, I don't want a Mighty Mouse.

I do not notice a lag with the BT600 from Radware.
Review: I purchased the Radware BT600 from powermax.com and I would give it an 8 out of 10 for features but only a 5 out of 10 for quality.
Features: On/Off switch - I would rather personally make the call when it is on or off and not let it auto-sense like some do. Recharge via USB cable - this was my selling point since I did not want to haul extra batteries. Scroll wheel - works great. Thumb buttons - I use for browser back and forward mainly. Software - nice mac support allows you to change all the buttons and make custom configurations for how it works in different applications (I haven't tried that yet).
Quality: Not so good. The mouse is full size but not as large as some of the later Logitech and MS mice out there. I would call it regular size. Overall, I think it feels cheap and looks poorly manufactured. The feel of the button clicking on both the main buttons and the thumb buttons is not very smooth. Also, I have just emailed their support because mine seems to be double-clicking now when I only physically single-click something. I have tried changing all the speed settings for it and cannot get it to stop.
Very annoying!
Hope this helps and good luck!

    ahhhhhh, help needed....

    the bt mouse getting recognized by the bt assistant, connect and ready, BUT it's not working. the "tray" symbol shows it's connected.....
    i've tried the following: pr reset, board reset, permission repaired, new directory by diskwarrior = nothing
    behind the error window of chronosync is another one from parallels which says that the "connectusb.kext" extension wasn't correctly installed.
    i've tried to copy the extensions from my macbook parallels but the error still occurs.
    i'm not sure but i think there can't be any connection between the parallels extension error and my overall mouse dis function, or can it be???

    cheers and sorry for double posting

    Just watching various posts on forums to see what I should do next. I updated to 10.6 from DVD, then went to 10.6.5, and my keyboard and mouse would stop working, and then start working again when I unplugged and replugged the keyboard (I have the mouse plugged into the keyboard). I don't want to spend all day unplugging and plugging my keyboard. I just went back to core 10.6 from the DVD, all my main software seems to work, so unless I have problems, I'm just sticking with core 10.6 until things get resolved.
    I might try updating to 10.6.2, or 10.6.4, but not until I'm forced into it (when something is really not working on unstable). I do mostly music and video work. The only reason I updated was because something new I want to run (Wavelab 7) only works with 10.6. I usually never update my OS unless I'm forced into it, I'm way not an OS early adopter, I have work to do! I was truly expecting 10.6.5 to be OK, they've had plenty of time to get the kinks worked out. I wasn't expecting Apple to introduce new ones. Sounds like I'm not bothering with 10.6.6 now. 10.6.7 anyone? Do I hear .8?
    Way to go Apple.

  • Bluetooth Mouse Driver Issues after updating to SP1

    Greetings!
    After upgrading to SP1 my bluetooth mouse stopped working.  The dongle I'm using is being detected fine, and when I scan for the mouse I can find it, but when I try to connect to it I get a "Locate driver" message from Vista.  When I let it scan for the driver it is unable to find anything compatible, so when I tell it to scan the CD that came with it again it finds nothing.  It's like the Bluetooth HID Device driver is no longer working.
    This is the dongle:
    http://us.kensington.com/html/9403.html
    This is the mouse:
    http://us.kensington.com/html/12635.html
    Some of the things I've tried:
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack.  I've tried using Vista's Bluetooth stack instead of the WIDCOMM stack, with no luck.
    I've also tried the Bluesoleil drivers with no luck there either, in fact those seem to break the dongle and Vista is no longer able to detect it.
    I've tried the install CD that came with the mouse, but it seems that is for Windows XP only.
    I've tried another Bluetooth mouse that produces the exact same results, with a CD that is for Vista.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    Just wanted to update this with an answer.
    I'm pretty sure that running vsp1cln.exe was the reason why my Bluetooth and iPod stopped working.  I reinstalled Vista and upgraded to SP1 without running that tool to clean up the install files and both bluetooth and my iPod are working again.  It must clean up the driver files that they were using and the new files are not compatible or something.  Not sure really.

  • Ipad 2 can't see logitech bluetooth mouse M557

    Hi,
    I made sure that this mouse would connect to my ipad 2 before I bought it and other bluetooth equipment. My iPad sees and connects to everything else but not the mouse. I am able to connect the mouse fine to my HP laptop.
    I've checked the Apple website ant this logitech bluetooth mouse M557 (http://www.logitech.com/en-ch/product/bluetooth-mouse-m557) should connect to Mac OS and IPad 2.  Is that simply not true or am I doing something wrong.  I've checked the driver is up-to-date via laptop, I've restarted everything several times and I've tried googling to see if others have had an issue. The only think I've found is a way to "hack" my iPad but i REALLY don't want to do this!!
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks in advance!!

  • Issue with Logitech Bluetooth mouse

    Hi everyone!
    I have some problems in correctly configuring my Logitech v270 bluetooth mouse. I followed all the steps in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_Mouse, but I still can't connect automatically at startup. Each time I boot my laptop, I must type
    /etc/rc.d/bluetooth stop
    /etc/rc.d/bluetooth start
    at the root prompt to get it work.
    Please note that I also completed this step: I added to my /etc/rc.local this line:
    hidd --connect <enter here your bluetooth mouse address (No capitals!!!)>
    Some ideas?
    Thank you!

    Same issue,  been a problem since I purchased last Christmas.  Sometimes I want to throw this piece of crap out and buy a mac.  Lenovo, get your head out of your ass.

  • Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, cinema display + Powerbook?

    I'm posting this here because it incorporates displays and peripherals as well as the behavior of the PB when all are plugged in...
    I have an ADC 23" cinema display that doesn't get used anywhere near enough. I got a 17" Powerbook about a year ago and since them my G5 sits idle most of the time.
    I want to put the display to better use by using it with my powerbook at work. I don't want to run two displays - I'd rather just use the big display.
    So my question is... if I buy an apple bluetooth pro keyboard and a third party multi-button bluetooth mouse (any suggestions?) as well as a DVI-ADC converter, can I leave the powerbook in clamshell mode?
    I want to be able to bring my sleeping powerbook into work with me, plug in the DVI and ethernet cables and hit the spacebar on the wireless keyboard to wake it up. (can you wake a sleeping mac with a bluetooth keyboard?).
    Is this possible? Will this setup work? TIA.

    Well, parts of your setup will work, and parts won't. The monitor and adc-dvi combination should work out fine, and from what I understand you can keep the powerbook almost completly closed while you use an external display, but you may what to research it a little more. There are a lot of discussions about this in the monitors section. Now, as far as the bluetooth devices waking up the computer, they can, but only after they have been paired. So you could not just walk in and wake the computer up. You would need to open the laptop up, connect the dvi cable, and turn on the blutooth devices and let them pair to the computer. Then you could close the lid. I think the agrument here is whether you can close it all the way and you can get an anwser to that in the monitors section of the forum. In terms of bluetooth mice, I use and highly reccommend radtech mice. They work very well, however their battery life is short and the travelling version is very small. I would highly reccommend rechargeable batteries. Hope I answered most of your questions. -Justin

  • Hp stream 8 and bluetooth mouse problems

    can anyone help me
     I just bought an Hp stream 8 and a wireless mouse and keyboard. The keyboard works fine, but the mouse I bought off of ebay isnt wanting to pair. It worked the first day but then shut the mouse off for the night and turned it back on the next day and was being really glichy, and then finally it wont pair at all. Is it the mouse or my tablet. If its the mouse, what kind of mouse should i purchase that will work but isnt ungodly expensive?

    I can't really make product recommendations as a tech agent, but I would assume any Bluetooth mouse should work fine. It's more likely a case of this specific mouse having issues.
    You can check out www.hpshopping.com for Bluetooth mice, there's some pretty cheap ones there that should do the trick just fine, and are backed by HP support.

  • Bluetooth mouse won't reconnect when switched on

    I have a 2.4GHz Mac Min (last model before being replaced by the model without DVD drive) and a Mac USB keyboard.  I wanted to use a Bluetooth mouse as I don't like the trailing lead with a USB mouse, but I wanted a conventional three button type mouse as I need that for my RISC OS emulator program, so I bought a Logitech V470 Bluetooth mouse.  I set it up in Bluetooth preferences with no problem and set it as a favourite.  It then worked very well and was comfortable, smooth and accurate.  The problem comes after I have turned it off, either when I am not going to be using the computer for a period of time, or at night, obviously to save batteries.  When I switch the mouse back on, the computer and mouse simply will not reconnect.  The only way I can get the mouse to reconnect is to plug in a USB mouse, delete the original device pairing, and set-up a new device again; or power the computer off and restart it.  Sometimes restarting the computer doesn't work as a dialogue box will open over the password screen saying it can't find any mouse, then it finds it and shows the correct Mac Address of the mouse but even clicking any of the buttons on the mouse it still won't actually control the mouse pointer!
    I have another Bluetooth mouse, a Microsoft 5000, which I use with my MacBook Pro so I tried that with the Mac Mini and once paired it works fine, *including* after being turned off, reconnecting within a second of being turned back on.  So I asumed it was something to do with the Logitech mouse rather than the Mac Mini, and contacted Logitech.  As it was a new mouse they suggested it was faulty and I have been sent a new one.  However this one is the same and in one respect actually worse.  Once paired it works fine just like the original, but once it has been switched off, again it will not reconnect when switch on.  But with this one, even closing down the computer and restarting it won't connect the mouse.  The only way with this one is to delete the pairing and set-up a new pairing again.  That means whenever the computer or mouse are turned off, you have to connect a USB mouse so that you can get back in, delete the pairing and set-up a new pairing again, which is unacceptable.
    However, if I boot the Mac Mini into Windows XP using bootcamp the Logitech mouse works as you would expect in all ways *including* reconnecting immediately after being turned on, if it has been turned off.  Also I tried this mouse with a 2006 iBook G4 1.42GHz OS X 10.4.11 and again it functions correctly including reconnecting immediately it is switched back on.  So these last two tests appear to show a fault with the Bluetooth firmware in Mac OS X on the new Mac Mini not a fault with the Logitech mice.  After all, it is using the same Bluetooth and aerial whether in Mac OS X or Windows but it will only reconnect when in Windows.  As a final test I set the MacBook Pro up for Windows 7 using bootcamp and again the mouse will not reconnect in Mac OS X on the MacBook Pro but it reconnects fine in Windows 7 on the same hardware.
    Is there an answer to this problem?  Do you agree it is a firmware/software fault?  Does Apple know about it and are they going to do anything to correct the problem?  Thanks.  Roy

    Yes, I do notice that connection can be lost sometimes and regaining it can be difficult. I have even had to go to the point of finding an old USB mouse to get it going again. I usually try turning off the switch on the mouse and then back on. Then I click it about 5 times or so, usually it picks it up again. Same thing with keyboard. Not sure if that helps at all. Good luck.

  • Bluetooth mouse not working on T430s

    All my drivers are up to date, my mouse has new batteries, and I tried this fix:
    http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2010/01/bluetooth-mouse-losing-connection-no-more/
    Now my bluetooth mouse only works after I reboot the computer, but then disconnects after a while, and I can't even add it again to my bluetooth devices.
    Can somebody please help?

    Hi everyone!
    I had problems with my new Rapoo 6080 mouse, it didn't want to work with my laptop anyhow.
    The connection was successful, but the cursor was dead, and in a few minutes Windows removed the mouse connection with the following error in Event Log:
    Initial connection to Bluetooth HID device failed.  The device has been removed as a personal or paired device.  You must reinstall the device.
    I called Lenovo techsupport, they have referred me to this thread.
    Now I have found a solution, that might not be perfect and requires some skills, but IT WORKS (at least for me). I have installed Toshiba bluetooth stack on my laptop, replacing the drivers from Lenovo.
    Toshiba has ceased support for other manufacturer's devices in their stack, but a little fix of VID and PID values in tosrfusb.inf file did the job.
    Not sure if I should provide details on how to do the whole process, as it requires some skills and accuracy. I guess those who are familiar with Windows will find their way.
    BTW, the stack I downloaded is not latest, it was version v80012T_20110809_x64. But I guess the latest may also do the job.

  • Logitech bluetooth mouse not found on restarting Mac Pro

    hi
    for some time now I have been using a logitech V270 bluetooth mouse with my Mac Pro which has a bluetooth 2.0 card installed. all works fine except that when i restart my Mac Pro the mouse is generally not automatically detected and i get the 'bluetooth mouse setup' screen with the message 'there isn't a mouse connected'. i then need to press the reset button on the mouse and go through the usual connection procedure.
    i wonder i anyone has any advice as to how i can get this set up so that the Mac Pro automatically connects
    thanks

    Hello all -
    I found a solution to this by using Bluetooth Explorer. I had previously tried this and it didn't work, however I realized that I was using an old version of Bluetooth Explorer! When I downloaded the newest version from apple, it worked like a charm and I was able to select which Bluetooth adapter I wanted to use. Switched it over to the USB dongle and it works perfect now. No more skipping mouse, woo hoo!

  • Bluetooth Mouse movement on Mac Mini Core Duo

    Bluetooth mouse movement and tracking is a bit strange. The pointer overshoots the target and 'hugs' the edge of the screen. It's not a problem with one particular mouse - two different manufacturers behave in exactly the same way. Both mice work fine on my PPC machines. Any ideas or solutions?

    I use a Logitech MX900 Bluetooth mouse with my PowerBook and for the most part it works fine. There are times when it just loses the plot and behaves like yours. I don't think it is a case of insufficient bandwith as Michael suspects but more a problem with intereference. I do notice that when there is a high use of my Airport connection the erratic behaviour is more prevalent.
    If you use both Airprt ans Bluetooth concurrently you might want to switch off Airport off to see if your mouse goes any better.
    Either way though you will find that a wireless USB mouse to perform better under most, if not all, situations.

  • Bluetooth Mouse X7500 on MAC OSX

    I bought an X7500 bluetooth mouse for my Mac. There is a MAC logo on the box, but I am not able to find the driver for MAC anywhere. (OSX 10.9.4).
    The mouse has been paired to the lap-top, and functions very well, as it is decently sized. The left and right buttons are good, and the scroll-wheel scrolls with two speeds. I may also push the wheel to move the page around.
    The scroll-wheel may be tilted left and right, and I assume that this is supposed to cause the current object moving left/right but nothing happens. I also assume that the two buttons on the top left-hand side are for back and forward. When I push one of them, it has the same action as pushing the scroll-wheel.
    Is there a driver for this mouse somewhere?

  • 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.

  • Bluetooth mouse dropping out. . .

    Finally it seems they fixed the wifi issue with safari.
    Now it seems my apple bluetooth mouse drops out quite a lot.
    Batteries showing above 75%.
    Hmmmm.
    Anyone else?

    And you've all of the updates for 10.8.2? Strange - I've never had Bluetooth problems or issues... I know that there was a problem, early on, with wifi and Bluetooth on the Retina machines but, as far as I know, that has all been 'fixed' with updates... haven't heard of that problem in a long, long time.
    I don't know what else to tell you to try - you might want to make an appointment at your local Apple STore and see if they can come up with a fix...

    If you really want to turn off only the mouse search, but leave the search alone for other BT devices, that's something else. I don't think it's possible, since BT has to first discover a device in order to know what it is.
