There's an on off sw on the bottom of my Kensington Mini Mouse. (BT)

Personally, I find Apple's implementation of BT (specifically, the 
so-called 'discoverable' bit) to be pathetic.

Can't tell you how many times, running the laptop (off to the side) 
at work, i'll either shut off the mouse, or set it down, and have it 
shut off automatically, and then have to toggle Apple's Bluetooth 
System pref off and on again to 're-discover' the mouse when i start 
up the mouse again. And of course, the problems with having the Ti or 
the Al-book, in sleep mode, with a BT mouse attached, are sounding 
dangerous (heat), but there again, the so-called 'discoverable' bit 
comes in to play (er, not play, actually). I'm not impressed.

I almost went for an Apple Pro keyboard with BT, it's one of my 
favorite things that I 'didn't do'. Worst of both worlds, that would 
have been.
