I currently use the Magic Mouse and I hate it. To each their own. I would like to purchase a bluetooth mouse because I would prefer to not have to use dongles for multiple reasons, however it seems like there are surprisingly few choices for high quality bluetooth mice. Logitech mice use their own proprietary system that requires a dongle (except for low end models and the $100 MX Master) and while Microsoft mice use bluetooth, they seem to get middling reviews. Anyone have a suggestion for a high quality bluetooth mouse for a better price than the MX Master?

I like the Logitech M557. It is a small 2 button conventional BT mouse, works with Windows and Mac. I've had mine about 6 months running the original batteries, it's never switched off. Tracks accurately, no BT disconnection problems.

I like it so much I got a second one for backup. $25 to $30 when on sale. There is a third button centrally located (the 'Windows' 4 spot in the picture), and the wheel-press switch and left/right wheel switches can be programmed to a limited extent, so you get a total of 4 extra actions that might be useful. But I just use it as a 2 button mouse. I modified my M557 so the scroll wheel rotates smoothly without the old-fashioned click ratchet feel. Just requires opening the mouse up by prying off the 2 front pads and removing screws (plus 1 or 2 in battery area), then the ratchet spring that touches the wheel is cut or removed.

I also have a small Dell BT mouse (that has no Mac software support) and it works OK but it sometimes has tracking speed and disconnection problems. I also have the Magic Mouse but don't use it because it's too low and causes hand pain after a while. No tracking or connection problems. They made it look cool, the top is a sphere and looks great, but it doesn't fit the hand. What happened to 'form follows function'?

Also they put 2 long pads on the bottom and they have too much friction and make a scraping sound on some surfaces. And the button pressure is too high. M557 is at the bottom of the picture, the removed click spring is near it. Dell mouse in middle.
