I HATE THE MAGIC MOUSE! Any suggestions for a solid alternative for graphics use?

I have the 27" Intel Based Mac and LOVE the machine...brilliant, beautiful, fast! I also LOVE the wireless keyboard...light, responsive, awesome! But I HATE the Magic Mouse...hate hate hate! I work with Adobe programs (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Mastersuite CS5) and the mouse control and scroll are all over the place. I need precision control. I need the mouse to stay where I want it to and scroll when I ask it and not scroll when I need to be zoomed in at 6400%.

Now, There HAS to be a good, solid user controlled wireless mouse that works well with the mac! Please HELP!!

Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

You are going to find it very hard out in local area electronic retail to find a mouse that is completely the latest Mac/OS X compatible.

Amazon has plenty of available Mac/ OS X compatible mice.

Check out this link.

some mice does that if used on a shiny surface try just using it on a piece of a4 paper to verify that the surface is not the culpit, personally I use a Razer Orochi it works great and can connect by both Bluetooth and usb

though I suspect it's too small in the opinion of many

For I had similar problems with the magic mouse now found MagicPrefs giving much more control over behavior of the mouse.
