Product Description

The Mighty Mouse's tracking engine is based on powerful laser technology that delivers 20 times the performance of standard optical tracking, giving you more accuracy and responsiveness on more surfaces. It works just as well on your office desk as it does on a table at your favorite coffee spot without a mousepad. The Might Mouse combines the capability of a multibutton mouse with Apple's signature top-shell design for both form and function. Mighty Mouse's Scroll Ball features miniature sensors that allow you to manipulate what appears on your screen merely by moving your finger. The 360-degrees scrolling perfectly positions to roll smoothly under just one finger. Touch-sensitive technology under Mighty Mouse's seamless top shell detect where you're clicking, transforming your sleek, one-button mouse into a two-button wonder. Pan images in iPhoto, view timelines in iMovie HD and Final Cut Pro, traverse bars in GarageBand and Logic Pro while sipping your morning cup of coffee or typing. Pre-programmed to launch Dashboard, Mighty Mouse's side buttons show you all your open windows in Expose with a squeeze. Mac OS X gives you the capability to choose any application from the intuitive System Preference pane.

Nice Wireless Mouse - C. Paulson, May 10, 2008

I recently purchased this mouse to use with my macbook after my previous Logitech mouse started to fail. So far I have been nothing but impressed. Setup was extremely easy-my macbook recognized the mouse right away. One oddity I found was that the default for the scroll ball was not set to 360 degree scrolling. It baffles me that apple would do this when the multidirectional scroll ball is one of the best features. I have had no problems with the ball stopping up. There is absolutely no lag associated with bluetooth. The laser tracking works flawlessly. I have also used the wired mighty mouse and can definitely notice the lack of the laser tracking system-it is much less responsive. Overall I highly recommend this mouse for use with a mac. Great companion to the bluetooth wireless keyboard from Apple.

Where's my finger. - Justin Steiger, May 07, 2008

I have loved my Mighty Mouse. I do think it needs a little refinement on sensing when you right click. It does well after you get used to keeping your fingers up front pretty far. The scroll wheel is awesome though. Why don't more moused use a mouse ball like this? Very nice mouse!

not what it's cracked up to be - Meredith Willson, May 04, 2008

I opted for this mouse when I bought my first Mac a couple of months ago. While the absence of a wire is nice, I am totally frustrated over how often my intended left click is interpreted as a right click - it did it just now when trying to click on "yes, I am over 13." Haven't had a chance to get to the store and ask if this is common or actually a problem, but it's making me crazy.

Mighty Mouse not great for 3D - D. Ballew, Apr 25, 2008

The good: can use with either hand ( to relieve long sessions); 3 buttons needed for newer programs.
Mac compatible.
The bad: Limited options for programming right button settings. Right button settings not compatible with many 3D programs; scroll ball OK except if scroll finger is "damp" (sweat; moisture transfer from water glass to hands; etc) it will stick. My solution: dry hands and turn mouse over and roll button around on top of mouse pad ... seems to work. Side buttons to hard to press ... worthless to me.
The ugly: Recommend you try other brands suggested by other reviewers

DON'T DO IT!!!! - dino6815, Apr 24, 2008

WOW! Amazing that apple allowed this to happen. I didn't listen to the reviews in reference to the bad scroll ball. It is really bad. Many state that it breaks after using it for a while, but mine didn't funtion properly out the box. Sure you can put alcohol on a q-tip and try to fix the problem, but why this shouldn't happen and apple needs to fix this problem. I hope they do they are great in practically everything else.
