It's the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000. Okay that's out of the way.
I've been searching for a better mouse than the extremely disappointing Apple "Mighty Mouse." That thing is a pile. The left/right buttons are unintuitive, the side buttons are uncomfortable and get in the way, the little scroll ball is a pain in the ass. It doesn't scroll up for me, and the side scroll happens on accident, plus it's too easy to click. All in all, it's a bad design and a very bad mouse.
So last night I searched all around for what people thought the "best mac mouse" was. I could not find any information. MacWorld had terrible content as did Mac Addict. Review sites were not helpful either. I literally spent about an hour trying to find what was considered to be the best mouse for a mac. Totally frustrating!
Finally, I narrowed it down to two wireless laser mice. The Logitech MX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse and the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000.
I decided to go with the Microsoft mouse because Merlin Mann of 43 Folders uses one (he's a great filter for this kind of thing... does a lot of the work for you.) and it was a bit cheaper than the logitech.
So far, It's fantastic. For all of you frustrated Apple Mouse users out there. Give this one a shot. I'm sure you'll be happy about it. And for those Mac journalists/reviewers who still carry a grudge over Microsoft for some lame reason, get over yourself.
