[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1947417, member: 190607"] [TL/DR] I don't think that I've ever met an Apple mouse that I really liked. They have always been either an unfortunate shape, or too ambitiously "advanced", or they were unreliable. When I was doing consulting I got fed up with how many people had BlueTooth problems. It's an expensive and unreliable technology. After trying a bunch of brands of mouse, I've settled on Logitech mice. They work really well, they are reasonably priced, they last for many years, and they are well supported. I like their RF (wireless) mice, rather than their Bluetooth mice, as they are dead reliable. They do require that you use a USB port for the tiny dongle, but it's worth it. I specifically like this model. It's dirt cheap, goes for over a year on one common alkaline AA battery, and it works and feels great. Every button works wonderfully, the scroll wheel is highly functional. It fit's in my hand perfectly. (Of course, how a mouse fits in your hand is highly personal.)
