Bluetooth mouse lags too much, any suggestions?

[d_rock]

I bought this Kensington bluetooth mouse for my MacBook Pro:

The mouse seems great except for one little problem...
the movement-to-cursor is just a little too laggy, especially for small, accurate movements.

Say I want to move from one on screen button to another nearby, I move the mouse a little but ALWAYS miss by a centimeter or so. It just isn't accurate enough for "predictive" movements. mice being any better, so maybe I should go back to the good old Targus notebook mice...

Anyone have experience with BT mice?

PS: yes I have experimented with different tracking speeds.

it has something to to with the computer, mine did the same thing even with a wired mouse. i downloaded a product called Steermouse, and it seemed to fix the problem.

I'm probably not the most accurate person with a mouse, but I have a wireless Mighty Mouse and I don't notice any lag with it. I do a lot of 3D gaming and haven't noticed any difference between the MM and a wired mouse.

Do you find the right-click easy to use on a Mighty Mouse?

I've never seen them as easy to use as a standard mouse, and for gaming you really need a solid left and right click.

Logitech VX Revolution mouse - wireless, laser, notebook-size. Best laptop mouse I've ever used; you can kiss all of your troubles goodbye. I would also recommend Steermouse.

If you buy those two, your mouse problems will be gone for good

Thanks for the advice kaidomac, that mouse looks good.

But here's an odd question...does it have a nice 'click' on the buttons?? I'm super picky about these things, and it has to have a nice solid click to it or it'll drive me crazy

Yes, definitely! Please see my review here:

It's about halfway down, first line is in bold.

Another vote here for that mouse, it's superb.

Despite a lot of negative comments about MM right click, I've never had a problem with it. It has a nice click to it and if you're not looking it doesn't seem like you're clicking on something that doesn't have 2 distinct buttons like most mice.
