Product Description
It's the wired mouse that reinvents the wheel - the scroll wheel. Mighty Mouse features the amazing Scroll Ball that lets you move anywhere inside a document, literally without lifting a finger. And with touch-sensitive technology concealed under the seamless top shell, you can choose either the versatility of a four-button mouse or the simplicity of a single-button beauty.

4 out of 5 stars THE MOUSE ENTERS THE MAZE . . .   August 15, 2008
EMAN NEP
. . . but does it get out? We'll see after I point out the pros and cons:

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: To be honest, I did not like the Mighty Mouse when I first tried it out. It felt like there was some sort of learning curve one had to get through before getting comfortable with it. I actually remember switching back to a "normal" Logitech mouse a few times simply because I had such a hard time getting used to the Mighty Mouse scroll ball and everything else.

PROS: As it turns out, after using the Mighty Mouse for a month or two, I actually like the scroll ball and I haven't had any problems with it getting unresponsive. Will definitely try the paper trick mentioned elsewhere if that does happen.
The side buttons are great for the Expose feature, even though I don't use it that much.
I also like the size of the mouse--smaller than a normal mouse and larger than a "wimp mouse" (those little micro mice you see for laptops).
The small cable (~2 feet) is also nice. Call me old-fashioned, but I like my electronics with the cable still attached. You can't have a mouse without a tail, right?

CONS: Not many, but I do think it is a bit tedious having to make sure that you press on the outside-most part of the mouse to guarantee a left- or right-click. If you touch anywhere near the scroll ball there is no telling what might happen. For this same reason I would not use this mouse for gaming.

DOES THE MIGHTY MOUSE GET OUT OF THE MAZE?: Yes, but not without getting a little lost.

Apple must have changed the design of the mighty mouse. The one I received is an optical mouse so there is no problem with a ball getting dirty because it doesn't have one. All the other buttons work well and I would recommend this to anyone in the market for a new mouse. Anyone complaining about the ball getting dirty must have an old version.
