just out of interest what do people suggest is the best mouse to use with the macbook pro?

Depends on what you need to use it for. If you plan on using it to play games in Boot Camp, take a look at gaming mice from Logitech, Razer, or Microsoft (I know I know, but MS makes decent mice).

If it's just as an alternative to the touchpad, any old mouse will do.

Despite a lot of negative opinion, I got a wireless Mighty Mouse and love it. The scroll ball did have problems after 8 months of use, but I took it to the Apple store and they replaced it almost instantly without any hassle at all. It's covered under my Apple Care plan for another 2+ years, which is more than I can say for any other mouse.

After using the little scroll ball, I like it a lot more than traditional scroll wheels. The low profile design is great for tossing it in my book bag without a lot of bulge, and the bluetooth connectivity connects quickly and means I don't have to use a USB adapter. One of the biggest things is the squeeze Expose function I couldn't live without now that I have it.

Yeah, buy the Wireless Mighty Mouse - it's the best and matches your Mac perfectly.

I prefer the Logitech V270 in silver. It's bluetooth (no adapter, connects in a couple seconds and almost no lag when mouse is power saving unlike some others I've used), I like the functionality better than the mighty mouse, and aesthetically it matches my MBP better than anything I've seen. On top of that, you can usually find it for around $35. I got it on Amazon for $35 plus a $10 mail in rebate... can't beat that!

So if you have the Apple Care plan for your laptop then the mouse is covered also?
