    Hi guys, I'm getting a wireless mouse for my macbook and wondering which would be better. The Logitech v270 or the Logitech VX Nano. What I mean by better is which is really plug and play. For the Bluetooth mouse in windows, if I pair it once with the internal BT card then will it always automatically pair up next time I start the computer or will I have to pair it everytime I start the computer. I already know the VX nano is plug and forget but I need the 2 USB ports my computer comes with.

    Thanks

    Oh and 1 more question : how is battery life of the notebook with a bt mouse and a usb wireless mouse? A lot more life taken away with the BT?

    Yes, they should automatically pair up next time.

    BT mice tend to consume a lot of battery power.
