I just purchased the 2013 MacBook Air 13" (Model #A1466). I am looking into buying a Logitech mouse vs. the iHome mouse. Which would you recommend?

I've never used a MacBook Air or an iHome mouse so I have no basis for comparison. If the Logitech mouse is compatible, I have nothing but compliments on its cost, features, dependability, and ease of use.

I have only used the Logitch mouse, but I have no complaints. It has been great and would purchase it again.

hmm..:/ make sure the mouse has new batteries and the light sensor is working on the bottom. I also know that the little usb drive that is included with the mouse installs the device or file onto your PC so you can use it. It worked in seconds with my ASUS laptop, but im not sure about apple products.. sorry

Any USB keyboard will work, I would however eventually buy an apple keyboard the functionality of MACs are realized better with this keyboard. I waited until I had a few extra dollars to spend, used a no name USB keyboard worked fine, especially if your just poking around the Internet or amazon shopping. A must have is the touchpad, once you get use to it it'll never want to use a mouse again.

I have not used my MacBook Pro since I bought this.The iMac has a larger screen and I feel more comfortable using it and the Magic Mouse while working at my desk

I bought my mouse to go with my MacBook Pro and it works well. I just recently got a MacBook Air. So I just tried out my mouse with my Air and it works fine. Your problem makes me think the specific mouse you have is defective. Hope this helps!

Works just fine with my MacBook Pro and Mavericks. The only thing that got me for a while is that moving the mouse does not wake it from sleep. But hitting any button (including the clear button at top next to the scroll wheel) does wake it and reconnects (quickly). The button click gets registered at the OS though.

I sent mine back - upon consultation with the Iris people they seem to have no intention of making a Mac version. Their marketing needs to make it more clear that this mouse is not usable with Macs.

Mouse and buttons work great. Scrolls well with regular browsing but the scroll wheel acts weird when playing games.Overall fantastic, only mouse I have used w/ my Mac.

Using the BM306 on a MacBook Pro with OSX, I did not realize for a good while that moving the mouse does not wake it up and reconnects. Only pushing a button does. The button click is registered by the OS though. May be that is what you are experiencing in Windows as well.

I have never used a mac, but I would expect as on top of stuff as Logitech is, that it would be. To make sure, I'd go to the Logitech home site and if not specifically shown, simply do a "contact" online to them. They're quite good about responding. Hope this helps some.

I use a Logitech Anywhere wireless mouse. But it takes over some of the functions of the mouse pad. Like scrolling is assigned to the mouse, and finger gestures no longer work. I don't mind that much. Since I prefer the mouse to the pad . I haven't found a fix yet. Maybe it's a Logitech software issue. Haven't tried any other mouse.

I have a 13 in Mac Air and it works fine. Very sturdy iI love it. I have the cube one though.

The Logitech keyboard specifically for the Air works great. They make another one for the standard IPad which is not big enough. Great keyboard, tho.They got smart and put a stronger magnetic closing bar on it as well as a rubber strip and small feet on the bottom so the cover won't get scratched. Can't beat this for the money.

I wouldn't recommend anything as a replacement mouse. I grew up on desktops, and I have had a very unpleasing experience with trackpads when it comes to navigation. Even if you are just doing things like facebook, I would recommend getting a mouse.

Hi jgardner@tconl.com, I have a 21.5 inch iMac (2011) that came with a Apple Wireless Keyboard and a Magic Mouse, and I bought both Mobee Technology Magic Charger and Magic Bar and it works great. Never encountered any problems. No problems with fitting to my Magic Mouse and Keyboard, nor connection loss or never a weak signal. No more AA-batteries that I have to buy!! Hurahh!

Order it direct from Apple online (a BTO or build-to-order order), especially if you don't want the Magic Mouse that comes with the standard machines. Otherwise order a Magic Trackpad separately.

I haven't used a MacBook Pro so I can't make a direct comparison however if you want portability then go with the "Pro". If you want a big screen and a movable keyboard and a mouse and work at a desk then go with the iMac. Seeing the answers of a couple of folks who have both seems to support that position.
