Re: [MacBook] bluetooth laser mice

 

I had a V70 up until about a year ago. It is a good basic mouse. Bluetooth mice have some quirks, the most noticeable being the slight delay in "waking up" after a period of idleness. Nothing I couldn't live with though. The V70 died after about two years of use. I purchased it as a refurbished unit, so this one might have had a history. I don't think it's a bad mouse though.

The mouse I am using now is a M705 Logitech. It is a wireless, but not Bluetooth. It has a USB dongle that it pairs with. This uses a precious USB port, but I have a powered 4-way hub installed. This dongle is also capable of pairing with other devices (printer, keyboard) so only one dongle is needed for several devices. I have yet to try out this feature because I have the Apple Bluetooth keyboard and a wired USB printer.

Having had both, I think I would go with a USB wireless mouse. There is more options available, and you get more bang for the buck.

[MacBook] bluetooth laser mice

 

Hello all, any recommendations/suggestions on any of the many mice available. I just tried a GearHead that wouldn't connect and I'm thinking of having a go with a Logitech V70. Please share any good/bad experiences with this.

Thanks George
