Wireless mouse recommendation

Wireless mouse recommendation

As much as I love the Magic Mouse I need to say goodbye as it does not fit my iMac operation. Can someone recommend a wireless mouse, for everyday use including FCPX operation?

Why the Apple Mouse is a problem? Because the touch-sensitive surface of the mouse makes my sound stutter.

It happens if I use my earbuds and the Bluetooth speakers at the same time using MIDI. When I watch YouTube or listen to iTunes and I slightly grab the mouse to shift the song or the Youtube video I get a distorted stuttering sound. To make it work again, I need to disconnect all the Bluetooth devices and connect again, or restart my iMac. And this happens at least half a dozen per day.

Thank you.

Well, I thought so too. It's not the Bluetooth issue its the touch sensitivity of the magic mouse. I had this issue for over a year. It happens when I pay music or watch YouTube videos and as soon as I touch the mouse, the sound gets distorted and stutters.

Yesterday, I replaced the mouse with a Logitech MX Master 2S. It solved the problem as it does not have a finger-sensitive surface. So, now I can use them both.

A 3rd party wireless mouse wouldn't do as it's still bluetooth. It looks like a wired mouse is your best solution.

Thanks @rkaufman87 I have none of the apps.

But, I did find a discussion on stack exchange that many people have a similar issue. Some said that the reason is that if more than 4 BlueTooth devices are connected the sound generation becomes supersensitive and stutters—the solution disconnecting one of the devices. In my case, I can not as I need them in FCPX. The wired mouse would be a solution, or try a non-touch sensitive mouse.
