    I just got the Logitech V270 from amazon.com for $39. It's for bluetooth enabled computers (no adapters, dongles needed). It's slightly small but not a mini; comes in silver or blue/gray. I'm picking I'm my laptop today, so I can't vouch for it yet. But it's got 1000dpi, an on/off switch for when you throw it in your bag, and a carry pouch.

    Here's a thread with comments:

    One person was not satisfied with the lag on it, but another said it may be common with bluetooth mice. Maybe I'll post my impressions this week. For now, good luck and let us know if you find anything good!

    EDIT: Here it is at Amazon.com: http://tinyurl.com/bf2ur
    It's got a good review from a Mac user on the page. Still with anything wireless, caveat emptor. ;p

    You don't have to buy a mouse from apple if you don't want the mighty mouse or one of there single click mice. You can use any mouse with it that you want. OS X does support multibutton mice. however the OS is heavily designed to only need the single click most of the time.
