    I cannot stand a slow moving mouse. Sorry, but I must have a fast mouse.

    Are there any 2000 dpi or 1600 dpi (If it's a good one like the mx518, then I'd prefer it more) for the mac?

    2000 dpi is too slow. 1600 dpi is painfully slow but is more active.

    Using two monitors, 2000 dpi is never enough :-X

    You do know that you can adjust the DPI settings right? I got a MX518 and I switch between 1600 and 800 dpi all the time on my Mac. And yeah, all mice (that I know of) that work in Windows work in OS X.

    I use Logitech's G7 with 2000dpi which works just fine.

    the dpi isn't the speed. Isn't the dpi how accurate it is, basically how fast it can track? Tracking speed has nothing to do with how fast a mouse moves. If in some rare instance you found one that was "to fast" you can always slow it down in the settings.
