Hi,
We have an older iMac (education model) that does not have built-in bluetooth. OS X10.11.6

It is being used for a specialized purpose and they would like a wireless mouse.
Can anyone recommend a third party setup that will work as close as possible to Apple mouse functionality?
Trackball w/ 4 direction scrolling, programmable buttons, usb antenna
Thanks in advance
Sandy

Don't know of any with the scroll ball, if that what you are looking for. It's a horrible design anyway as it's always getting gunked up. I would recommend looking at the Logitech mice. The Anywhere MX, MX Anywhere 2, and the MX Anywhere 2S are good and all have side scrolling so the ball would not be missed that much.
