I'm looking for a multi-button BT mouse that will work perfectly with my PowerBook. My top candidate is Macally's BTmouseJR for price and how Macally has given me reliable good products in the past. Any suggestions or support for my decision?
By the satisfaction I have seen the Macally BTmouseJR Will be partenered with my PowerBook soon. Those who think they can direct me to a different mouse I will be happy to hear from you.
WOW YOU MAKE A GREAT POINT! lol Just kidding yea i saw that but would prefer a multi-button mouse. I read your JOY of PowerBook post and saw you mentioned the Apple wireless mouse and agree: the PowerBooks are awesome. Anyways, as hardcore as some people are third party products are sometimes necessary. Thanks for adding the option to thee discussion though.
P.S. If you want a wireless mouse like Apple's but with an extra button and scroll wheel check out www.macmice.com
I have heard of the BT500 but only heard it's too small. The size is the length of my trackpad? Wow. Great for portability but I think I wouldn't lose it but rather have it adsorbed into my palm. I'm looking more of a full sized mouse (ex. Logitech First Wheel Mouse) but it really doesn't have to be, just adequate for normal use.
Thanks Steve, but it just seems to small. Do you have one and could comment on it? That would be very useful since I have 4 reviews of the Macally BTmouseJR and none of the BT500.
Thanks Jolly. The way I see it the BTmouseJR will be the BT mouse of my choice now. After all the positive comments on the BTmouseJR and the lack of support for the Radtech BT500 the Macally will be next to my PowerBook soon.
Thanks to everyone to participated in this discussion. If there are any suggestions of if you find a problem with your mouse an early warning to those who already have the same one can be posted here if you feel like it.
I've just bought a BT500 and although I was surprised it was so small (I didn't think to check the dimensions) I'm quite happy with it - you soon get used to the smaller size.
It was easy to set up, the sensitivity is good and I've yet to have a problem with it being recognised by my PB.
I am a huge guy (6'5") and the BT500 is the smallest mouse I have ever seen and I love it anyway. Definitely the best $50 I've spent on a peripheral. It's so small you don't even notice taking it places, and having a mouse everywhere makes a laptop much more usable. It's very precise, I can play UT2k4 with it fine, and aside from a few milliseconds lag if you haven't been using it for a few minutes I've had no connection problems. A fabulous little mouse.
