I bought an MX900 for the sole reason of having bluetooth-enabled multi-button mouse for my Bluetooth-equipped iBook. Well, guess what, it SUCKS (for me, at least.) 1) there's no…

MX700 is Exactly like MX900, except it uses RF and not BT to communicate. but if i'm not mistaken, isn't MX700 claimed to be compatible with mac by the Logitech site? and the extra…

I guess I don't understand. Not using some of the buttons does not seem a big deal to me. Plugging in an RF transceiver in a bluetooth notebook IS. Wireless should be that -- freed…

The problem is that almost no PC has Bluetooth built in - unlike Macs. As such, Logitech has their mouse built with a bluetooth hub as part of it - where all the prefs are on the b…

the MX900/700 was intended for desktop use, not a notebook companion. it has that huge cradle because it's assumed that the desktop won't be going anywhere and it cna be a base sta…

Who says they are useless??? I use all of them... the forward/backward and task switch as Expose.... backword thumb button to display all the windows... the forward thumb button to…

actually i was just re-iterating what some people stated above, since it seems like some people aren't getting the message. anyhow, this is interesting. are you using MX900 WITH…

I had both the apple BT mouse and the mx900. I actually had the mx900 first. Updated both firmware and drivers. It was not accurate and laggy. I stuck with the Apple BT even thoug…

I had a MS intellimouse explorer bluetooth and i find it laggy. The shape of the mouse is good and so are the two extra buttons but it's not useable for me. I'm used the a fast rea…

Wow - I'm glad this topic got started! I didn't even try to assign the expose buttons, which yes, work perfectly! Nevermind - the buttons work fine, even without the hub. I don't…

I just got it for my XP box, and I like it a whole lot. The accuracy is excellent. I have heard that the frame rate is a little lower than the MX700 due to the BT bottleneck, but i…

Has anybody here bought the MX900 as part of the Logitech diNovo Media Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard set? Any information about the functionality of the keyboard with a PowerBook wo…

so do all the buttons work on both the MS and Logitech bluetooth mice? is the buttons don't work . . . what's the point?

I tried burning to a DVD-RW disc for the first time today on my 12" revB PB with Superdrive. I burned a small (100mb) folder to the disc with no problem, but I can't rewrite to th…

The super drive in the laptops does not support DVD-RW discs, only DVD-R.

Can you record and erase using 3rd party SW such as Toast with PB?

Thanks RDiT. While I genuinely appreciate the advice, I'm not so desperate to use -RW discs to try it, but I took a look at that site anyway and read the following in the FAQ: Q:…

No, he wasn't. My 1GHz 12" works perfectly with DVD-R/Ws. It might be a matter of bad media or a dodgy drive, but it should work. -R/W will only burn at 1x, though, not the 2x you'…
