blue toothed mice, mmmmmm......
I've been thinking about mice, like I often do.... :eek: And I'm really tired of the damn wire. Isn't it time for Apple to upgrade their mice and keyboards to wireless? <img src="graemlins/surprised.gif" border="0" alt="[surprised]" /> Now that bluetooth is built into the new 12inch power book, I'd definately like a wireless mouse to go with it. <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[oyvey]" />

Its time. :cool:
As for desktops, I'd get sick of replacing batteries, and my wires dont bother me at all.
I'd rather have 2 buttons.

My Logitech Corless Elite Duo on my PC gets pretty good battery life. No battery change in 3 months.

Which would be why if they ever did make a cordless mouse, there should be a base charger like the Logitech MX700.
edit-btw, i never have a problem w/ connectoin on my mac, i use the mouse from 10 ft away w/ no problems when watching movies.

It performs like crap. It doesn't have anywhere near the sensitivity of a normal mouse. The mouse cursor will visibly stutter across the screen as you drag it.
On the other hand, the Logitech MX700 has the best resolution of any optical mouse I have ever owned. It doesn't suffer from tracking problems at all no matter how fast I try to throw the cursor around. It does have problems on shiny surfaces like any other optical mouse though.

I have it at home. It uses AAA NiMH batteries and comes with a recharge station. if you don't charge it up after each extended use, you end up wasting power because it doesn't go to power sleep. But as long as you remember to charge it once a day it's fine. Plus it's not IR so I can use it anywhere as long as its about 4-5 feet away. It uses radio signals like cordless phones do. That's why it uses up more power than IR devices (that and it's optical). The good thing is the charge station can work ON the desk while you use the mouse on a keyboard pull out tray. The radio signals can pass through about 1.5inches of dense wood material, but I haven't tested anything thicker. The tracking is not as good as the wired version, but it's acceptable. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 7.
Product engineers.......write that down.
[edit].. stupid me.. why did I put the word "NOT".. the mouse IS good indeed...for $55.a well spent

If you want a rechargable wireless mouse go for the Logitech MX700. Best mouse ever.
