So my new G4 iBook will be here on Wednesday and while I have a regular USB Apple mouse to use with it (I like to avoid the trackpad as much as possible especially for WoW), I was considering the wireless mouse since the new iBooks have bluetooth by default.

Does anyone use one?

I love the wired version of the pro mouse, I heard good things of the bluetooth one.

If you're playing WoW, don't you want to use a multi-button mouse? I use an Apple USB mouse exclusively at work (i.e. word processing, Web surfing, etc.), but for gaming—yeah, Mac gaming, HAR HAR—I don't suggest a single-button mouse.

I used Apple's BT mouse for about 5 months, FYI. I replaced the batteries three or four times. Too often for me. Solid mouse otherwise, though a little large for toting around with your iBook if you're on the move a lot.

I'd recommend the logitech MX1000... but that's more of a desktop wireless mouse than a laptop wireless mouse...

Doesn't Bluetooth in general kill batteries fast?

 

[Agent Dormer]

only one button - not worth it. they need a wireless mighty mouse.

how about a good multi-button bluetooth mouse for laptops. ive been searching, but i cant seem to find one.

 

[shantyman]

I'd say no- get a multibutton BT mouse from another company. It'll be cheaper too.

YES.

Heavy gamer, I used to go 3 months for a pair of batteries with an RF mouse. My Bluetooth mouse eats them in 1. Honestly the cost of batteries is next to nothing so it doesn't bother me, but what does is the constant "Your batteries are running low!" which takes me out and minimizes the game I am playing. Not good in counterstrike or BF2.
