How do you find that mouse? Accurate enough? Whats the battery like?
I just noticed this question -- sorry for overlooking it before. If I hadn't mentioned before, it's a Logitech MX900.
It's a great mouse, really. It's got a different feel to it than I'm used to, but I think that's the difference between Windows and OS X for me.
For day-to-day tasks, it works brilliantly. I've used it in iLife '04 and '05, iWork, FCE HD, Photoshop, and dozens of other day-to-day apps (iChat, etc) and had no problems.
I thought about the MX1000 mouse for a while, but the idea of having a cradle or dongle sticking out of my Powerbook, just to use a mouse, really bugged me. I can take the MX900 w/ me on the road and don't need any extra adapters or connectors.
The cradle has two connections (data and power) on it. I plug the data cable into my PC and the power cable into an AC outlet (on my UPS, actually). I can use the "Connect" button on the cradle to match the mouse to my PC when I need it (which is rare these days) and I can match it back to the Powerbook in a few seconds using the Bluetooth setup app.
When the PC is off, I can still use the cradle for charging (since it gets power from AC), which is really nice. I can grab my Powerbook and carry it to class or to work with me, then it automagically reconnects to the mouse and keyboard when I drop it back onto the iCurve and boot it up.
It's great. I had my reservations at first, but I've been really happy with it.
