Default Bluetooth mice.

I have a mac mini, and at present I am using it with my old OEM Microsoft wireless mouse (with the Mac keyboard, for keyboard layout and vanity purposes). I am not considering replacing the mouse with a bluetooth one in order to free up a USB port.

BUT, bluetooth mice are a rare and tricksy breed, it seems. The "mighty mouse" is an abomination of ergonomics, doesn't fit the hand properly and the "whole-mouse-moves-not-just-the-button" is a nagging pain in the proverbials.

The standard logitech offering that I can find, the "v470" (in all of it's various colours and flavours) looked fine, until I spotted it was a "laptop mouse", which in marketing speak means "to-damn-small-to-be-used-by-humans-with-full-sized-hands". The same appears to go for the 'standard' offering from microsoft as well. the "5000".

Is there such a thing as a genuinely ergonomic, full-sized bluetooth mouse, designed for use by adult humans, or do I need hand surgery to adapt to the mighty mouse?
