 Not Quite Perfect September 28, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I recently purchased my second wireless Mighty Mouse -- this one for my desktop system, a Dual-G5 PowerMac -- when my Logitech S530 mouse died an early death. My first wireless Mighty Mouse was purchased for my MacBook Pro.
Initially, I replaced the failed Logitech mouse for the desktop with the tailed version of the Mighty Mouse (review posted on Amazon), which did not work out for me. (Details in my other review.) So, based on my positive experience with a wireless Mighty Mouse and my MacBook Pro, I purchased one for my desktop. This review is based on both those experiences.
First, this is a good-looking device. Like all Apple products, they spend resources on producing a visual impact with their hardware. The cool-factor is there.
The function of the mouse is very good. It has four buttons, although they are not apparent. The two primaries are activated by "leaning" the mouse to the left or right. It sounds more complicated than it is and don't let that intimidate you. The third button is under the scroll-ball. The fourth is activated by squeezing the sides of the mouse.
Bluetooth pairing with the desktop Mac was trivial. Turn it, tell the system to find the mouse, and pair it.
I turned off the third and fourth buttons because I never use them. I use the scroll-ball a lot, though, and generally like the way it functions. I'll have to check with my MBP mouse, but the desktop mouse requires a little pressure on the scroll-ball to obtain full activation of the scrolling feature. This isn't an issue for me, but it might be for those who use the third button as well. (I may have a defective unit -- but it doesn't matter because I don't use that third button.)
Cursor tracking is good and I have the sensitivity turned up pretty high. I also have the double-click sensitivity turned up high. I'm a fast-clicker and don't need much time to get there.
My only reservation about this mouse is when playing games. If your game uses the right mouse button to perform some action (like navigating in WoW), then you may find you sometimes don't get what you're expecting. This happens to me sometimes when I think I've turned (the camera angle changed) but I actually activated the left button and not the right. So, if I move forward, I swing back in the original direction and move that way. This is probably attributable to user error (or as a friend sometimes tells me, SUE -- stupid user error! :) but it is something to be aware of.
Overall, though, I really like the way this mouses works. The looks are lagniappe.
 By far the ugliest modern Apple product September 3, 2008

I bought this expecting something as slim as the wonderful wired version, but no, do not let the pictures fool you - This mouse is over an inch thick. Coming from Apple, I expected a simplistic, polished mouse, but it seems more like a cheap chinese knockoff of the mighty mouse. By far, the wireless mighty mouse is the ugliest modern Apple product.
Ergonomics leave much to be desired September 3, 2008

I am a recent convert to the MacOS and purchased the Apple Mighty Mouse to use with my MacBook Pro. The bluetooth works perfectly, no complaints with that.
The only downside, which in my opinion is a big one, is that this mouse is not very comfortable to work with. Ever since I came close to getting Carpal Tunnel many years ago, I have been a stickler for good computer workstation ergonomics. This mouse is flat and the uncomfortable grip makes it hard to use for extended work sessions. I have an average size hand, so perhaps it may work fine for someone with a smaller hand.
Unfortunately I cannot seem to find an any other mouse to choose from. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 Works sporadically August 23, 2008

I've had this mouse for about 1 1/2 years and after about 6 months I started having a problem with it where the button that controls scrolling up and down, doesn't work. It's incredibly annoying because it will work for awhile and then for no apparent reason, stop working. After a few weeks it will randomly, start working again and I have not been able to find any solution to this problem or reason for it's start in the first place. I'd give it one star except that when it works, it's a good enough product.
Love it. August 9, 2008
This is my second wireless mighty mouse. One for my Mac Pro, and recently picked another one up for my MacBook Pro. They take a little while to get used to, especially when right clicking but once you grow comfortable with it, few mice can compare. Sure, I wish there were more buttons, but it's precision and ability to scroll smoothly, precisely and quickly more than make up for it. And the battery seemingly lasts forever.
