Decent OSX-compatible Mouse?

I purchased a retina MBP a few months back, about 50% of the time I use it at a desk connected to a screen with a separate keyboard + mouse. Up until now I've been using a cheapo wired mouse, but now I'm looking to buy something better (not the Magic Mouse or Magic TrackPad, I don't particularly like either).

So far I'm looking at either the Logitech Anywhere MX or Logitech Performance MX. Does anyone have any experience with either of these mice, or have alternative suggestions of fully OSX-compatible mice? Max budget: £100.

Thanks.
 
Thanks for the replies

What sort of work do you do on it? For non-specific desktop use I'd be looking in the £30-£50 price range for a good mouse, no more than that.

The laptop is mainly used for programming (Sublime Text / Xcode) but also some light Photoshop work and gaming.


I have the Performance MX mouse, on a desktop machine. The Anywhere MX may suit better if size/portability is a concern. Any questions in specific? The software works well, better than the MS software - the rest I think is down to personal preference.

There are some high street retailers with them out on display so you can try them out for size.

One of the main concerns was being able to adjust the sensitivity and configure all the additional buttons under OSX, are you able to do that with your Performance MX? Previously I had a Logitech LX7 wireless mouse, but it was terrible under OSX, I needed to use a mixture of SmoothMouse/USB Overdrive/ControllerMate to make it 'feel' usable.

I have quite small hands so the Anywhere MX might be better for me, I'd like to try them both out but haven't been able to find any high-street retailers with them on display (only boxed).
