Best Bluetooth Mouse for MacBook or MacBook Pro
When traveling with you laptop you may want to consider a wireless mouse, there are
many options in the market but one advantage a Mac user have is that every new MacBook or MacBook Pro comes with Bluetooth integrated. These makes the selection of a mouse easier since the reliability of a Bluetooth mouse seems to be better than a plain wireless remote.
Apple Inc offers a Bluetooth mouse, the Apple wireless Mighty Mouse is a Bluetooth mouse that offers great functionality and matches with the elegance that a Mac laptop has. On the downside you have the price, the Apple wireless Mighty Mouse goes for about $69.00 USD, some complaints also points to bad reception from you Mac, bad quality craftsmanship, and poor battery life after a year.
The good news is that the Apple wireless Mighty Mouse is not your only Bluetooth option, Logitech has the V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks. The V470 is a Bluetooth mouse with great functionality, you can get it in blue or white, and work with PC as well as Macs. Has functions like side-to-side scrolling, battery life indicator, protective pouch, and a 30-feet range that has no competition.
The V470 has a price tag of $49.99 USD, that about $20 less than the Apple wireless Mighty Mouse. For those of you looking for an option other than the one offered by Apple, this is the mouse you want. Is not the only other option, Microsoft also has the Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 that retails for about $49.95 USD but has no track history to rely on, I haven’t heard any good or bad about this mouse.
My last exp
erience with a Microsoft mouse was good, in fact it lasted over a year and I only paid $14.99. Right now I have a Logitech LX3 optical mouse, is not wireless but I’m using a desktop Mac not a laptop. I think that for desktops the best option is regular non-wireless mouse since they are more reliable than wireless or Bluetooth mouse. Your mileage may vary depending on what mouse you buy.
What is your experience with mouse purchases? Do you own a Mighty Mouse? Do you like it? I hear of many people leaving their Apple mouse in the box and using other options mainly with the complaint about ergonomics. I wouldn’t know since I’ve never owned one.
