I have been tempted to buy one. I have 5 pointing devices now so I really don’t need one but I like the wireless idea. So tell me what makes the bluetooth mouse so good?

Hey Nick, the BT-500 is only $15 more than a Mighty Mouse but you’d need to buy a “Radio Class: Bluetooth II” adaptor.  I don’t think my first generation PowerBook 12” with Bluetooth would even support it.

I owned the first Apple wireless mouse with Bluetooth.  It was the first wireless mouse I’ve had the pleasure to use and I would never go back if I could help it.  There are no cords so you feel more free and your desk is less cluttered.

With any new iMac G5 and a Bluetooth keyboard plus AirPort Express for wireless printing, Internet, and even music, less wires is more.

I’ve got the Apple Bluetooth mouse.  It’s alrite, great for travel.  but it eats thru batteries like a mofo.

The Apple wireless products will do better as far as battery life with Bluetooth 2.0 or a future technology.

I think if I used a wireless mouse I’d loose it within a month.  My mom has a bluetooth mouse and it’s kinda awkward from the weight of the batteries.

Mighty mouse needs to be wireless.  That’s all I have to say.

Methinks the puck mouse would have made a decent mobile mouse.
