Apple BlueTooth mouse replacement
 
I've been using the Bluetooth mouse that came with Apple since January,
Model A1197.

It still works, mostly. But am thinking it will be time to upgrade soon. My understanding is, the mouse only lasts for so long and because of the way the ball is designed, it can't properly be cleaned.

So what's the best replacement mouse for an Apple. Obviously the 9-12 button Microsoft mouse don't work on an Apple computer..

So what Bluetooth Mouse are you guys using for Apple?

My scroll has been locking up. And not the physical part cause I can still move it on the mouse. But on my desktop, the scroll gets stuck at the bottom position of the window.

I have to shake and blow on the mouse repeatedly to get it to free up.

I recently got the mouse you have but I also have a Logitech BT Travel Mouse I use with my Mac Book. Its a touch on the small side but works pretty well.

Logitech is the king of mice. Any of them will be great in terms of ergonomics and quality.

Been through 3 Apple mice, I just keep calling them and they keep replacing for free

Best thing is that it charges through usb.

Microsoft bluetooth mice work just fine but lack the software to be able to bind any keys past MOUSE4

Damn, I should have tried that... Mine croaked months ago and I just use the trackpad...

The original wired mouse for my iMac stopped scrolling up, just went down, left and right... replaced it with the bluetooth mac mightymouse and keyboard. I personally wouldn't get anything but the mac mouse simply because no other mouse has the 360 scroll wheel or the expose buttons. No logitech mouse I've seen has the same functions, but plenty of buttons you have no use for... And no other bluetooth mouse I've seen has the battery life of the mac one, you gotta recharge them quite often as opposed to changing the batteries once a month.
