NEWB Mac User Question

I have a new MacBook enroute and will soon peddle the HP PC on my desk. My fears are not too high, but I need an answer to this question (I did a couple of searches, but found nothing):

I will need a mouse
I have read many poor reviews of the Apple wireless B/T Mighty Mouse
I would prefer wireless to having the tail
I've never had a B/T mouse before (have a wireless, but not B/T)

So, what options do I have???

I appreciate any opinions.

I'll probably be back after my first boot of the MB

Thanks,

Padre Jeff

A couple companies make BT mice, just google for it. I personally have a Logitech VX Revolution that I love.

Thanks tmorgan. I just found a thread also (rather old posts, but a few newer).
Do like the looks of the VX Revolution. I'll try to see if local retailer has one to fit in my hand.

I will just say that I have had the wireless BT mighty mouse for nearly a year now, and I haven't had a single problem with it. Not to mention, it is more comfortable to use than I expected.

I also got the BT mighty mouse. Occasionally, I have to quickly clean the eye to get accuracy, I am pleased with the Mouse. Certainly, other companies make quality BT mice to work with OSX.

There is an entire nine-page Sticky thread on nothing but computer mice at the top of this forum:
