Editorial Review:
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.

Maybe a mouse really should have a button.. This mouse is functional. It is always registered with my Mac, responsive and smooth. However, its tactile feedback is very poor. Even after 1 year of use, I still find myself miss-clicking the left and right sides. The scroll ball in the center is small and hard and uncomfortable after some time. The "pinch" buttons on the side are mushy and offer no tactile feedback when squeezed enough to activate (I just gave up trying to use them). Finally, the mouse is very low profile and, as an average male, I find... more info
Form and Function are Symbiotic I really like my mighty mouse. By far the best syncing bluetooth device I used with my Mac. The side squeeze buttons are really nice to have if you want to quickly access your dock or open your address book. I have had mine for about a year now, and my only complaint is sometimes the trackball acts like it has something caught in it, and will not want to scroll down. Shake it a little bit and it seems to work. Also, batteries last around 6-7 months.
Downward scrolling stops working I have had two of these mice and used them for over a year in total, so this review isn't based on a quick fist impression. I have an iMac, two MacBook Pros, and iPods for everyone in my family, so I'm not an Apple hater. Therefore it pains me to call this mouse terrible. I really wanted to like it. First, the performance of the Mighty Mouse is extremely average for the price, and the trackball is one of the worst ideas ever. Seriously, if mice evolved beyond using a physical ball for motion... more info
Heavy. I had this mouse for a while a few years ago. Perhaps it has been redesigned since then, but at the time, I felt that the weight of the mouse was heavy, due to the batteries you have to stuff in there. It required extra effort to push it around my mouse pad. I didn't notice it as first, but after a few days, my hand felt fatigued. Also, sometimes it got knocked off the desktop and when it fell, it fell hard because of the weight. After a while it didn't work anymore and I was more than happy to go out and... more info
