Mighty Mouse - not so mighty after all?

We have clinics and drugs for people like you... ;)

hehe i know, taking advantage of that right now. you know, ritalin works wonders for ones who dont actually need it. :p

Agreed...very awkward and inconsistent to use. I put mine back in the box after 2 weeks. The Razer Pro has yet to dissapoint.

Completely agree. The Razer Pro is absolutely fantastic.

Have to admit I just put my Mighty Mouse aside after a couple of months of use. Its flat out hopeless for gaming and strange to use with Photoshop/InDesign for some reason with but otherwise it's ok. It's also quite easy to accidentally press at the wrong time (if you're not resting your hand on it correctly) - gone back to a trusty Microsoft mouse for now though reckon I should hunt out a nice light narrow Razer gaming mouse.

hard to believe Apple would use such a POS for its OE mouse....

I bet the next re-work of their machines brings a new mouse with it...they have to be aware that 95% of people hate that thing...

I love squeezing my MM.

Sorry do you mean ######?

Any mouse without forward/back shouldn't be a mouse.

i think i might not know some english/american urban speech meaning for "MM".

i was referring to Mights Mouse.

thanks. :p

I agree, it's by far the worst mouse I ever used.

I know this isn't recommended, but what I did when the scroll ball wasn't scrolling was to wipe the ball, turning it fiercely so it got wiped all the way round, with a cologne-impregnated tissue, the sort that come in foil sachets to keep them moist. It's worked a treat, at least so far (for a few weeks). I found the MM took a bit of getting used to after a Logitech one, but it looked so cool that I persevered. And now I really like that cute little scroll ball and find the mouse as a whole comfortable and easy to operate.

I think that is very close to what Apple themselves recommend.

Personally I like my Mighty Mouse, it's just a pain that it requires "maintenance" in the form of cleaning it ><

You see what I have for a mouse, that still works after 3 years (and hooked up to my Mac)?

Logitech Click! Optical Mouse USB. Works perfectly fine, I have never had any problems with this.

I had that mouse for four years back in 2002-2006. Wonderful equipment there. Apple's mighty mouse ain't bad at all either. Pick what suits you best

I don't think the Mighty Mouse was as hated as the puck mouse.

So everytime you want to scroll a webpage you take your and off the mouse, and use the trackpad? man.... that's a real burden.

I don't know about you, but I'm sure PureLegend has two hands. One on the mouse, one on the trackpad to scroll. That's what I do.

I guess I do neglect my left hand. what kind of a nazi ****** am I?!

I don't think I ever used my left hand for... well, anything, except while typing :)

Like my iMac, I make it a habit to clean my Mighty Mouse on a week to week bases.
