    im looking for a new mouse for my macbook. wired or wireless doesnt really matter but wireless i would want a good battery life. im hoping to spend around or under $50 US. i want something with programable buttons i can use for dashboard and expose. and on a sidenote have any of you used the wave keyboard from logitech? i was wondering whether you found any difference in comfort.

    Go with the G5, check fatwallet and you might be able to get it pretty cheap $20-30 while the mouse retailed for $70 (last time I checked).

    Logitech mice generally come with software that you can set the buttons to whatever keyboard shortcut or run command you want really. So I'm sure those have it to and if they do and you can find a keyboard shortcut to run dashboard and expose than I'm sure itll work. But im not familiar with mac or those two mice. Every logi mouse I've gotten came with the software though.
