On Dec 19, at 8:32 AM, Nora J. Probasco queried:

Is there a bluetooth or wireless mouse I could use with the Mac Pro without using a bluetooth keyboard?

Any Bluetooth mouse should work without a keyboard. I've used several types over the last couple of years including ones from Kensington, Logitech, Microsoft and Apple.

My current favorite is the Logitech V470.

I don't care for the Apple Mighty Mouse since I always end up pushing the wrong button. The top of the mouse is a solid shell, and where you press determines the button it thinks you pushed. The small scrolling ball works well. It's also a bit larger than most notebook mice. I'm using mine at home on the desktop machine.

My wife uses a Kensington Si670m, and it seems okay. I find scrolling with the wheel to be a little jerky.

I had a Microsoft 5000 Bluetooth mouse. Besides being ugly — "high definition" black and white — it ate batteries. It worked fine and I'd still be using it had it not dropped onto a sidewalk and broken in the Seattle airport. (I just got used to packing some charged AAA rechargeable Alkaline cells in my laptop case.)
