alright so i want a regular 2 button wireless or wired mouse for my macbook, but i dont know what ones are compatible with it.

i know apple has the "mighty mouse" but ive read reviews that all complain saying that it doesnt respond fast enough and the right click isnt very accurate.

i mainly want the mouse for gaming purposes since the mouse on the macbook works fine for everything else, so i want one thats quick to respond. i own wireless mouses but they wont hook up to the macbook because theres no slot for any sort of plug in like them.

what mouse would you recommend i use?

you can go to the apple store and they have alot of good mouses. I think the Logitech mouse is pretty good

Well, I'm using a Microsoft wired Optical mouse so I'm pretty sure you can use any mouse. But from what I've used, I love any of the Logitech mouses.

I've used the mighty mouse. It worked fine for me until the ball stopped working regardless of cleaning. I think the right click complaints are unjustified since you need to LIFT the left finger to right click. Now, that being said I'm using a logitech wireless notebook mouse. I'll likely replace this with a bluetooth mouse though. I hate having to suck up a USB port for my mouse.

I use the wireless MM now but have decided to replace it with this Logitech mouse (in silver).
