Anyone know of any Bluetooth laser mice? All I see are RF laser mice. I wonder why. I have seen a package (Logitech MX 5000) that offers a Bluetooth version of the MX 1000, but it comes with a keyboard. I don't need the keyboard. Thanks.

Link is dead. But what did it link to?

I'm assuming there are no Bluetooth laser mouses available. Apparently, RF is a lot faster than BT. That is why they use it for the laser mouses. I'm gonna go with the Logitech MX900. It's a nice BT optical mouse. I'm sure that I'll like it.

The one button mouse? Why would he link to that? I asked for a Bluetooth laser mouse. The Apple mouse BLOWS. That's what I'm using now. I'm about to smash it.

Eh, it works fine for me, but I understand why some dislike it.

I think the term "optical" and "laser" can get confusing, which may be why he linked to it.

with all do respect, you asked for a suggestion and I offered a sugestion. To answer your question 'Why would he link to that?', because it's a good bluetooth mouse . I didnt know you were already aware of this Apple Bluetooth mouse because you didnt explain in your orginal post that you already have one and think it 'blows'.

So far as i know the MX900 isn't Mac compatible. The MX1000 is. :rolleyes:

The wireless/bluetooth Apple Mighty mouse is laser.

This is correct, the apple wireless mouse is a LAZER that is BLUE TOOTH, with 360 scrolling, and right click, and buttons on the sides. Its a perfect mouse and it matches your computer.

The reason I shyed away from the Apple mouse is because I heard of far too many problems. In addition, I don't think it is rechargeable. And it uses AA batteries instead of AAA batteries, making it much heavier. Hence the reason I went with the Targus. I'm sure the Mighty Mouse is great, but certain features of the Targus outweighed the great looks of the Mighty Mouse ... mainly the whole slew of problems people have been having with the  MM.

I just bought the MX Revolution by Logitech, its not bluetooth, but it is by far, the best mouse I've even held in my hands.

I bought the MX Revolution when it first came out and took it back. I didn't like the wobbly scroll wheel, which I couldn't program. (I didn't know then about SteerMouse.)
