Mighty Mouse - not so mighty after all?


Recommended Posts

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.

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 ><

always had logitech... had some problems with the G15 (mouse button.. but that was repaired with a bit of glue and paper XD

i stepped on some other mouse trying to find it (was logitech aswell) use it for school.. and its connected on my laptop...

3 buttons still work (the most used ones) the rest just fell off XD after i stepped on it ><

and another mouse.. older then the above.. still using that one.. and it looks Really nice compared to the other 2

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

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 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 totally disagree. Very little good comes out of governments all around the world manipulating everything they can and usually the people are not the benefactors. What you say about being restricted and expensive sounds almost like the arguments against firearms and why banning them will protect people as if making something illegal somehow will prevent the criminals from having and using them. AI being far less mainstream could simply mean the average person will not benefit, but "big brother" and the corporations will benefit, which is almost for sure NOT a good thing.

    • "connect with audiences" is the most obvious corporate speak you can think of. I only bought Need for Speed from EA because it was the only racing game with cops in existence and I dig that. Now that they killed off NFS franchise, I have nothing to spend money on. EA is officially dead for me, just like Ubisoft which I've been boycotting for some 20 years now...
