    Seriously, it never ceases to amaze me how dumb these manufacturers and marketing people can be.

    It's 2008 and we still don't have a fully featured fully buttoned Bluetooth Mouse.

    I'm talking about a MX Revolution level button support and features with the Bluetooth freedom of a Mighty Mouse.

    Why won't you make this thing and take my money????

    Unfortunately that mouse needs to be charged via a base station, but at-least it's a start... sigh.

    I guess I should say "VX Revolution level button support"

    Not sure why I put this thread here, maybe because my Macbook has so few USB ports it gets annoying.

    What the hell do you need 10 thousand buttons on a mouse for??

    (and yes I'm being sarcastic when I say "10 thousand" however my point still remains valid)

    I've heard so many bad things about the BT mighty mouse which is why I was very hesitant to order one, but I sure am glad I did.

    I love this mouse. Its BT response is excellent and so is accuracy. Left and right clicking has been flawless. The scroll ball is very usable and comfortable. It's relatively small and easy to pack when travelling and does not require any connectors or USB adapters so it frees all the ports.

    I've got a BT Mighty Mouse and love it as well. Just picked up a BT keyboard today which I'm also very impressed with.
