Welcome to 21st century mousing, and the new The Mouse BT, from MacMice! Using dependable Bluetooth wireless technology, this powerhouse of a mouse combines elegant design, world-class engineering and construction, and plug-and-play compatibility with a wide range of modern Macs and PC's.
The Mouse BT may not be the first Bluetooth wireless mouse to hit the market; but, it benefits from the late arrival by improving many of the annoying shortcomings that are present in earlier BT mice. Cursor lag, long reactivation delays, unexpected disconnects... all of these are improved in The Mouse BT.
With thousands of email requests received from our customers, asking for a Bluetooth wireless version of our market-leading USB The Mouse, we have made it our mission to create the absolute best answer possible: The Mouse BT.
The Features You Asked For
The Mouse BT is available with either bright-white or silver-aluminum inner shell; both versions have the stylish clear acrylic outer shell, with the same subtle split-shell upper surface as our USB The Mouse. This design permits having as little disruption to the clean design lines of the mouse as possible, but still enables accurate multi-button operation. The Mouse BT has 800cpi tracking resolution; a fast, responsive optical tracking mechanism; a power conserving on-off switch; a simple to use connection button; and, it runs for weeks on two AA alkaline batteries (included). We have tried to build the best Bluetooth wireless mouse on the market, and, we believe that we've succeeded.
No Driver Software Required
The Mouse BT works right out of the box with the built-in OS-level drivers in both Mac OS X and Windows XP. No separate software driver is needed. It is fully compliant with the Bluetooth v1.0 HID device profile, so, it is fully compatible with any Mac OS X or Windows XP system with a built-in Bluetooth transceiver, or that uses the D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth adapter. Whether you have built-in Bluetooth, or you use the D-Link USB stick-type adapter, if your system supports the v1.0 HID device profile, you can pair it to The Mouse BT.
The Mouse BT gives you a standard left button, a right button for Control-Click (contextual menu) functions, an under-the-wheel scroll wheel button for applications that take advantage of that feature (Maya, and others), and a silky smooth-operating, notch-free scroll wheel. There is no separate driver software... The Mouse BT has the mouse features built-in to Mac OS X or Windows XP, automatically.
You should be aware that the Bluetooth implementation on both the Mac and Windows platform is evolving very rapidly. Apple, especially, is being very aggressive about releasing updates to its OS X platform and to its Bluetooth-specific hardware and software. We absolutely recommend that all Mac-based buyers of The Mouse BT visit the Apple web site, and download and install all of the latest Bluetooth updates. Believe us: Your mouse will work noticeably better using the latest OS X and other Bluetooth improvements from Apple.
