I need a new mouse

[yonyz]

Hi,

My DeathAdder is no longer the mouse I used to love. The scroll wheel is driving me mad, so I need a new mouse. This time I don't need a gaming mouse so I'd like to go wireless. I read a few days ago that some wireless mice with USB receivers don't work well with OS X, especially in the installer. Is that true? I thought all mice should work fine on any desktop OS.

I am thinking of getting a Magic Mouse (which will surely not work during an installation of OS X, but I'll keep the DeathAdder just for that) but it's expensive at $65 for a seller refurbished one.

Please let me know if you have any recommendations. I care mostly about ergonomics, and it would be cool if it had DPI of 1800 or more, since 1800 is what I use.

Thanks.

Go with the magic trackpad, completes the hackintosh experience, and once you get used to it, you won't want anything else.

I had a Magic Trackpad. It's fun with the gestures but not fast enough and not suitable for long uses or photo editing. The Magic Mouse is also out of the question now, considering the price.

Try this one - http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-mouse-m510?crid=7
Note this is RF wireless, not BT.
You can also use the Mac keyboard http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-solar-keyboard-k750-mac?crid=1489 with the same USB dongle as the mouse.

Looked great until I found out it's 1000 DPI. I need a bit more than that.

It's wired.
Honestly, my DeathAdder seems to work well now for some reason, the scrollwheel isn't as bad as it were so I'll keep it for now. I did decide on a new model for when the DeathAdder died - the Logitech M705.
