Apple's mouse sucks

I drank the kool-aid about a year ago, and switched from pc and bought an iMac. I dig most of apple's products, but my third wireless mouse just crapped out on me. That's three in less than 1 year. It's the same thing every time... scroll ball won't scroll down. Anybody else have this prob?

I think I am gonna look for a different solution this time. I think I'll try a mouse from another vendor like Logitech. Hopefully they make products that will work with mac computers.

This is the mouse I use for my MBA; works perfectly.

If you are looking for something super portable, I'd recommend this: Amazon.com: Logitech 931690-0403 VX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Black): Electronics

I just picked one up last week for my Lenovo laptop. It's amazing!


The USB wireless receiver is smaller then a penny.

Not sure about compatibility with a Mac though...

Don't really like the mighty mouse myself. I either use one of the old pro mice, or a wacom tablet.

I'm using an MX510 and like it. that said, as soon as it craps out, I'm going for the VX revo as well.

What is so great about the logitech mice? I have always felt the cheap dell USB keyboard was the easiest to type on so I stuck with the cheap dell mice.

well the logitech mice have more controls like going back and forward on a web page and volume controls ect. I guess they're not for everyone but I'm very happy with mine
