Bluetooth Mouse for Mac OS X

I’m trying to find the best Bluetooth Mouse for Apple Mac OS X. I really like being able to just turn on a mouse and boom it works without having to plug in a dongle. So I’ve compiled a mini-review of the Bluetooth mice I’ve tried to date and hoping you could help me expand the list.

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse

Link. While I want to love the Mighty Mouse I constantly find myself fighting with it.

Pros

Works well with OS X as it connects fast and gives a battery level in System Preferences or a pop-up Bezel when the battery runs low. AA batteries.

Cons

A little heavy for my liking. Sometimes misreads right-clicks for normal clicks (makes World of Warcraft an exercise in frustration). That scroll nipple is impossible to keep working after 3-6 months, it simply gunks up and stops working reliably.

Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

Link. I’m quite a fan of this little mouse.

Pros

Light, fast, easy to pair between OS X and Bootcamp (just remember to turn off/on while the ‘puter reboots. Tactile scroll-wheel is still working 12 months later. AAA batteries that last ages.

Cons

The movement (perhaps the resolution) of the mouse appears jerky sometimes and any fine moments (eg when using Acorn) renders the mouse impossble. No battery indication in OS X.
