Bluetooth mouse for Macbook Pro?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a Bluetooth mouse for a Macbook Pro? I've been using a full-size, corded Logitech laser mouse since last August and while it works well, it's not too compact or portable. I'm looking for something relatively inexpensive, like this. The Apple Mighty Mouse is out because I'm not paying $60 for a mouse. Something that I would be able to order from Amazon would be awesome because I'm already going to be ordering a travel USB hub and a neoprene sleeve from there. Any recommendations? I see a lot of reasonably-priced Microsoft ones on there but would there be any compatibility issues? Thanks!
 
I use a Bluetooth Mouse 5000. Seems to work fine, a little on the small side though. I have a laser mouse 8000 but it's a little more of a pita to setup and is kind of laggy sometimes.
 
I've tried them all. As convenient as a BT mouse is, I always end up going back to a normal wireless mouse as the BT mouse always ends up with jerkier motion. The best BT mouse i've had thus far was the Kensington Slimblade Trackball Mouse - A truly great design especially for travel due to its dual 360 degree scroll wheel functionality - http://us.kensington.com/html/13880.html

That being said, the laggyness/jerky motion of the pointer eventually became an annoyance so i switched to a VX Nano. It is a SUPERB MOUSE! By far the best i've used.

My primary reason for a BT mouse was that I hated the USB dongle, but the VX Nano dongle is so tiny, I don't even notice it, ever.


 
When I was looking into BT mice a while ago, it seemed like they were all a disaster... though that was a while back. I ended up with a VX Nano as well and I'm pretty happy with it (my usb dongle doesn't sit quite flush with the port, as if it weren't inserting fully... might just be a fluke, but not a huge deal either way).
 
I'm using the Apple Mighty Mouse (bluetooth) and it works great. No interference, very rarely do I need to connect/disconnect or anything like that, and I love the scroll ball. I tried the Logitech VX (or MX, the bigger one) Revolution but the drivers were terrible so I returned it.

That said, I don't need to do any photo editing or anything which requires extreme precision, and I hate having a USB dongle sticking out so I went bluetooth.
