Currently running a 24" iMac and can't deal with the wired mighty mouse any longer. Would like a wireless mouse (bluetooth preferably but not necessary) for a reasonable price. What do you guys use that you think is worth while?

Wow, thank you so much. That mouse looks awesome...I'm pretty sure I've looked at that one at Best Buy before. Anybody else have an awesome mouse or know of one that I can compare this to?

I have the same mouse and it's perfect with Stars and Table Ninja. All my hotkeys are tied to it.

Edit: this is the combo I bought. Pretty sure it was $129 at best buy.

IMHO the Logitech MX Revolution or the MX5500 combo is the best mouse.
As your post said you are on a Mac, just be aware that the MX5500 combo which is bluetooth is nnot compatible with Mac's. I think the MX Revolution is ok with Mac but I would check first before buying.

Personally, I use the MX Revolution mouse alone for years and just bought the MX5500 few weeks ago. Mouse and keyboard operates fine but bluetooth part is not good. If you read the Logitech forum, lots of compaints regarding bluetooth.

MX revolution works just fine in Mac and Windows in bootcamp for me.

It is the MX5500 Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse combo which do not have Mac support. The MX Revolution which is the mouse only with 2.4 but not bluetooth will work with Mac.

One thing to keep in mind when buying a wireless mouse is whether or not you can change the battery. My Logitech MX 1000 just died after 15 months and I can't change replace the battery, so what is otherwise a perfectly functioning mouse is dead.

I just bought a Magic Mouse and it's pretty sweet, although a bit weird to get used to in your palm if your used to a more substantial palm rest.
