Being a Mac user, I was at first hesitant to buy a Microsoft mouse, and am even more hesitant to give it a five star rating, but I've had my Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 for about six months now, and am honestly proud to say I have loved every day of owning it. A relatively unadvertised feature of this mouse is that you can ditch the bulky USB dongle and use it via Bluetooth instead. This was the primary reason I bought this mouse, and I've been using it via Bluetooth with my MacBook and have never had any problems. I've seen others report jumpiness using this mouse with a Mac, but I can't say I've ever experienced that myself. I've also seen others reporting the buttons lifting up due to wear after months of use, but I can't say that's happened to me either. After six months of using my mouse during the week at work, then tossing it in my bag and using it occasionally on evenings and weekends at home, I'm happy to report it still looks like it just came out of the package and continues to be a solid working input device. I have owned other Bluetooth mice and this one is by far the most durable, ergonomic, and convenient one I've found. But even so, given Amazon's low price, if my mouse falls apart tomorrow I won't hesitate to buy this exact same model again.
With the Microsoft Mouse software installed on my MacBook, the extra mouse buttons can be configured for click, secondary click, double-click, triple-click, clicklock, scroll, auto-scroll, forward, back, magnify, zoom in, zoom out, undo, cut, copy, paste, and various functions of Exposé, Dashboard, Spotlight, and Front Row. Additionally, you can set either mouse button to quickly open the Finder or any of your favorite apps, or to switch between open apps. I picked "Exposé - Desktop" and "Exposé - All open windows" for my two buttons and these have been very handy. As a bonus, with its brushed metal appearance, this mouse looks really great sitting next to my Apple Bluetooth keyboard, and I imagine would look phenomenal next to the new aluminum unibody MacBooks.
One thing of note, though: about a month ago I stopped using the included rechargeable battery. It seemed to be holding a charge for shorter and shorter spans, until I found myself recharging the mouse about every day. The included dongle and magnetic cable are absolutely phenomenal for converting it into a wired mouse during recharging, but as often as I found myself recharging, it was beginning to defeat the purpose of owning a wireless mouse in the first place. Now I keep a few extra AAA batteries on hand in my backpack and just use those. I've been meaning to invest in some kind of rechargeable AAA batteries so I'm not wasting the alkalines--of course I wouldn't try recharging those inside the mouse itself, for fear they would be incompatible and explode or something--but using the alkalines has worked fine and given me back the wireless freedom that I loved about this mouse originally.
If you twist my arm and make me come up with some kind of complaint, it would be that the dongle is just too big. I have a super tiny 8GB flash drive on my keychain (a Verbatim TUFF 'N' TINY, which I absolutely love), so having an extra 1GB of storage in such a bulky form factor is really pointless for me. I wish there was another version of this mouse without flash storage and thus a smaller dongle. However, this is a moot point for me. Since I use the mouse via Bluetooth and have stopped using the rechargeable battery, I don't even carry the dongle around anymore, and the mouse was affordable enough that I just plain don't care. However, if Bluetooth isn't an option for you and you do plan to use it with the dongle, just be aware it's gigantic.Get more detail about Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 Mac/Win.
