Even with a MX700, I would sometimes (but certainly VERY rarely) get the dreaded spin of death in FPS games when whipping the mouse about too quickly. Have you ever experienced the same - say, in BF1942 (thinking of games on Mac that I also play on my Windows PC)? Am glad to see the MX1000 supported on the Mac. The BT one was never officially supported.

It's great for a laptop since it doesn't move. Mine doesn't have the forward and back buttons on it, though :(. I have this mouse:

Don't get me wrong, the cordless mouse worked fine, I just didn't like the feel and control that I got with it compared to my other mouse. Though the mouse I use is a corded mouse, it acts as a wireless mouse because it has an optical sensor trackball. The mouse that I use is a <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=011">Microsoft Trackball Explorer</a>. The mouse is very ergonomic, and my hand never gets sore or tired. It has 5 buttons (one button is the scroll wheel which is a scroll wheel and a button in one) which are all customizable. Two buttons and the scroll wheel are used by your thumb and the other two buttons are under your ring finger and pinky finger. I use these buttons for the Forward and Back button (which work in both Internet Explorer and FireFox). Since the mouse has the trackball it never moves and I have great control over the mouse pointer. It may not be useful for someone who need super precise movement such as a photo editor. However, it works well for me when I surf the net, write documents, etc. Finally I find that the mouse is great for games, especially first person shooters and Warcraft type games because I never run out of desk space moving the mouse because of the trackball and I can move the pointer much more quickly using the trackball than I ever could with a regular mouse. Great review btw! :D --Aequitas I have used a logitec cordless mouse in the past but I did not like it as much as my pervious corded mouse so I switched back.
