There is a neat little feature I noticed today where Apple's Bluetooth mouse will first in a semi-opaque window and then a flashing icon on the menu bar that the mouse batteries are running low. It's an especially nice touch since I forgot that there were even batteries inside.

I like this mouse. The batteries inside give it some additional weight that just feels right in my hand. So many mice (mouses?) I have tried are so light I feel like I am slipping all over the desk surface. The extra weight seems to give me more accuracy. It also tends to make me slower but I'm playing game tournaments just accessing menus.

Bluetooth helps gets rid of all those wires as well. I hate wires. Wires are ugly and, even in the case of Apple industrial design, inelegant. My old Apple mouses' wire (I've never used a two button mouse) always got tangled and in the way. Good riddance.
