RadTech has just added three new Bluetooth mice to their line up. The BT100 and the BT300 are both designed for the mouser on the go, whilst the five button BT600 is designed to roam your desktop. The interesting thing about all three of these mice is that they have internal batteries that recharge via an included USB cable. Now that's clever.Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.

while they are clever, i have some issues with the radtech mice. They are TINY, even for laptop mice. and they are also not durable at all. i dropped mine from a height of 2 feet onto a carpeted floor, and it never worked again. I tried contacting the tech support to get it fixed, but they never got back to me.
another company that makes similar (if not identical) mice is bluetake.

The battery contact issue the above poster (Andrew) experienced was resolved shortly after the launch of the original BT500. RadTech will replace any mouse with a broken battery contact with no time limit.
In addition, it's nearly impossible for a RadTech support request to go unanswered - I urge Andrew to either resend his request to: support@radtech.us or phone RadTech toll-free: 877-777-9088 Ext. 106.

Is the BT100 not the most ugly mouse you have ever seen. The BT300 on the other hand looks qute nice I must say.

I just replaced a defective circuit board in a external HDD enclosure not more than five minutes ago that was purchased it from RadTech in January. I emailed them explaining the problem and they shipped me out a replacement circuit board with pre-paid return mailing label. Now this is the way companies should do business. They really stand behind their products!

I can honestly say that everytime I have delt with RadTech, their service has been nothing short of amazing. I bought a slip case for my powerbook in june, and I don't leave the house without it.
#3: I have to agree. I like the look of the 300, but the 100 is really ugly.

No way, the 100 is awesome - it's got style that most other mice lack. Looks like it was pulled from a Klingon battle cruiser. The 300 looks like every other mouse, BOR-RING.

Hopefully they address the crappy tracking of their previous mice. I bought the BT510 for my MacBook Pro and it was not worth a damn. I returned it.

Their mouse driver fixes the bt510s jumpy cursor Carl - just lower the acceleration value. Mac's seem more prone to this issue, where PCs are not. Macs must have a faster inherent acceleration. I had the same issue with an IO gear bt mouse, tracked great on my PC, but jumpy as heck on my ibook. At least radtech addressed it with their driver, which is the best mouse driver I've seen BTW.

looks kool but WHY do they insist on placing buttons 4&5 on the same side? give lefties a break!! I have two 5 button mice with buttons on both sides and they rock - I'll never buy anything else!

Are these available in retail stores, or only online?
