So I’ve been shopping around online quite a bit, checking out various mice.  I’m fine with the trackpad on my MacBook Pro when I’m mobile, but if I’m sitting at a desk for an extended period of time, I like to use a mouse.

I have and enjoy a wireless Apple Mighty Mouse at home, but am looking for something a little more ergonomic for my desk at work.  My one requirement is that the mouse be wireless and that it work well with a Mac (the mouse controls things like Expose and Dashboard).

Anybody have a recommendation for me?

Most mice are compatible with both platforms.  The only problem, I’ve read about, is when a mouse requires proprietary software to be installed for uber-special functionality.  I doubt this is a problem amongst the biggest peripherals companies: Microsoft, Logitech, Kensington, etc

I have a nice logitech wireless that I like a ton.  Not too sure of the functionality of it with a Mac.

I have one of these.  It works well and looks pretty to boot. smile Plus you have the luxury of the right click.

I settled on another Bluetooth Mighty Mouse.  I use one at work, so it makes a certain amount of sense, I guess, to have the same mouse at home.  Though not terribly ergonomic, I like the simplicity of the Mighty Mouse - it has the buttons that I need a mouse to have for my Mac, and nothing extra.
