Ah! thak you, for some reason USB overdrive would not recognize my mouse, but I ended up finding SteerMouse which works great. (thanks to MacHeadCase in another thread )

I would like to get an idea of what mouse I should get to be used with my Macbook. I find that the hot corners is starting to get annoying so I would like to get a mouse that has buttons that I can set to show the dashboard/desktop/all windows, etc. Any recommendations?
I am looking at the Logitech G7 and Logitech MX1000 right now. I have Logitech LX7 but I need more buttons that what it has.
Thanks!
Mac Specs: imac 20" 216 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GBSDRAM, 250 GB hd, Airport Extreme, Bluetooth 2.0
Brand new wired MM came with my 20" imac but after one month it stopped scrolling up (down was ok). So I blew some air into it and it's worked since. I like the simplicity of it, but makes me wonder how long it will last if it hung up that soon. I'm thinking about a wireless logitech but I'll surely shop around first.
I use a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000. It is by far the best mouse I have ever used and I have never ever had even a single issue with it. Decent range, perfect ergonomically and the scroll wheel is great. No issues when I switched from my Dell to my Macbook either. I highly recommend it.
I have been using the WMM since christmas and I must complain that the right click doesn't always work. I don't even use it for gaming, just for work in Word and Excel. Or do I just have a faulty WMM??
The scroll-ball is nice and once you got used to it, the scroll wheel on other mouse just seems "huge" by the it feels from your fingertip.
Yes it is a beast and it's pretty manky as well - I've had this thing for maybe 6 years now although it has spent the last couple of years in the back of a cupboard as I have a wireless mouse for the PC now. Only pulled it out because it was a bit easier to use a mouse for some of the work I was doing on the MacBook this week.
But I've bought/just received an Apple Bluetooth Mouse from eBay for less than £15 inc PnP It is really smart - super easy to setup and very sleek to look at. I keep wanting to use the rollerball though so maybe I'll be in the market for a Mighty Mouse in the future...
I have Logitech V200 and Wireless Mighty Mouse
and i can say that logitech is more than twice
better than mighty mouse, Mighty Mouse have
a very unstable tracking a right click not always
works. V200 is a twice cheaper than MM and
works twice better
