i use a kensington studio mouse with my 12" albook, and i would highly recommend it. it's performed stellarly for me. it has good optical tracking (not perfect, but what optical mouse is) and the touch sensitive scroll pad is very cool.

Watch out for the Kensington Pocketmouse Pro Wireless. It got a bad review from MacAddict read it here, but with the note that it's a rare exception to an otherwise great line of products. I have a Logitech wireless mouse (standard white one) on one of my machines that I bought without a mouse, and have found it to be pretty good. But for the best ergonomics, I have never found anyone else's mice to measure up to Apple's one-button. It's the only one I can comfortably keep my hand on without wrist stress upward to keep from setting it off.

Logitech Cordless Mouseman Optical.

I have never used a more comfortable mouse... and I do a lot of mousing!

It eats batteries though. One time, I didn't have any AAs handy and had to go back to my Apple Pro. Ouch! That hurt my hand. No support. [img]graemlins/scream.gif[/img]

Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse. High quality, low price, excellent OS X support. I got this for my PC, but liked it so much that it gravitated to my Mac - the PC is stuck with an ultra cheap PS/2 mouse.

Cheers :-> Bill

I use the Kensington Turbo and Expert Mouse Trackballs myself. Some say it's bulky, I personally love the feel of these big trackballs. I have three of them, one at work, one at my desk at home, and one I carry with my PB. I love'm and would easilly recommend them to anyone.

The Mouseworks software lets you customize everything about the trackball... it's the icing to an already perfect peripheral.

Gerbil - we agree - best bang for the buck around and bullet proof

Mink Tea - we LOVE the Kensington trackballs - they are the only ones that work

I use a wireless MS Explorer - great productivity tool, very very comfortable but it also eats batteries

Thumbs up

I use a Logitech Wheel Mouse and I like it a lot!

The only think I wish it had is a "back button" on it like some MS mice do. Other than that...it rocks.

The only thing better would be for APPLE TO MAKE A TWO BUTTON MOUSE WITH SCROLL WHEEL!!!

Word on the street is that Apple might be updating it mouse/keyboard product line. Might be worth the wait.

Yeah, I'm a little reluctant to buy a Microsoft mouse, because...you know [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ohh...I would get a 2-button apple mouse. Need that other button for games!

My friend got a kensington retractable mouse. I gotta try that baby out
