Cloud Constructors Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 my 20" iMac 2009 version came with the mighty mouse and I stick with it. How many of you use it? Do you find it tolerable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpit Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I use the wireless one, and yeah, you get used to it. I used to have issue with right clicking because I'm habitual of resting both my fingers on the mouse keys and clicking as required and in the mighty mouse that registers as 'left click'. I've gotten better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterC Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I still use my Mighty Mouse. It doesn't scroll down anymore, but I have my Powermate for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S. Veteran Posted September 12, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2009 I ordered one right after they came out a couple years ago and used it about a week. I'll stick my my razor diamondback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted September 12, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2009 I liked the Mighty Mouse that came with my iMac but I was still playing games on it - and the Might Mouse is totally and utterly useless for gaming. A lot of incidents with the mouse thinking I was right clicking rather than left clicking and vice versa at critical points in Battlefield 2 made me rather angry with it - so I had to calmly disconnect it and put it away before it was ejected through the nearest window ;) It's perfectly fine for normal desktop / home use though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Helix Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) I loved the 360 scrolling but sadly it didn't take very long for the scrollball to stop working correctly I replaced it with a Logitech MX™ Revolution I Might be replacing that with Logitech Performance Mouse MX™ Edited September 12, 2009 by Phantom Helix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted September 12, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted September 12, 2009 I simply can't use the Mighty Mouse for longer than a few minutes. I'm used to ergonomically shaped Logitech mice since 1993; using the soap-bar shaped MM makes my right hand cramp up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I seriously considered the mighty mouse but after trying one in-store I wasn't impressed so I continued to use Razer mice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Using the macs at school I couldn't stand the mighty mouse, clicking with the artificial right click was terrible. I was very tempted to buy a mouse to use there but I toughed it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furyshinobi Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I still use it :) My first mighty mouse doesn't work so had to buy another one... Got too used to it by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian M. Veteran Posted September 12, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2009 Nope - I hate the mighty mouse with a passion - due to the amount of electronics & speakers I have around my desk, it's incredibly dusty and the mighty mouse lasted less than a month before the scrollball clogged up. I stick with my Mx Revolution now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
instant.human Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I still use my Mighty Mouse. It doesn't scroll down anymore, but I have my Powermate for that. replace "powermate" with "trackpad on my macbook" and its a +1 for me. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Helix Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Just incase anyone would like to know a trick about logitech mice and Snow Leopard If you open the LCC 3.0 installer you download from the website (Right Click "Show Package Contents") then go to >>Contents>>Resources, and launch Logitech Control Center.mpkg it will install as usual and works properly, the preference pane item is even 64bit so it won't need to throw the "To use the ?Logitech Control Center? preferences pane, System Preferences must quit and reopen." nag. If you just try to launch the downloaded package it throws an error saying you can't install it on this version of OSX, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I use the Wireless version of the Mighty Mouse, however the scroll wheel does get clogged up with dust so it needs cleaned every week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurë Veteran Posted September 12, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2009 It's crap for gaming and needs cleaning far too often for a mouse; I switched to the Razor Deathadder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbba Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I bought one just after they came out. Used it for 2 weeks before giving up on it. one of my worst purchases ever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Yea, I personally can't stand it, and it doesn't work at all for games like World of Warcraft. I use a Logitech MX Revolution instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_c_b Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I still use my BT Mighty Mouse every day, but I only game a couple hours a week now so it is more than tolerable for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted September 12, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2009 My Uni had them on most of the Mac's, but then they all got replaced with some Microsoft branded ones, with proper right and left clicks, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey B. Veteran Posted September 12, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2009 For the most part i use the Track Pad on my Macbook however when i use a mouse i either use my Wacom Pen Tablet or a Logitech VX Revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Kompressor Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 should be a poll. I have both a mighty mouse and a logitech mouse plugged in....sometimes the mighty mouse just feels slower without the right click option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_f Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I actually really like the mighty mouse. I find the wheel is invaluable for large photoshop work. For example I can scroll from bottom left to top right in one motion instead of scrolling on the X and then Y axis as you do with most mice. That said they do require a fair bit of cleaning now and again to keep the scroller in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspiria Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Absolutely hate it. It's in the closet as an emergency backup mouse only. I've used a Razer Pro|Click for a while and still love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepu Sudhakar Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 One of the most disappointing Apple purchases I have ever made. The right-click doesn't register when I most need it (gaming). On top of that the scrollball gets clogged way too easily. Scrolling became useless and I opened mine up for the first time a few weeks ago. Seeing how fragile and error-prone the internal scrollball mechanism made me realize how poorly designed it was....there was a reason that original mouses shifted from trackballs on the bottom to optical sensors. I guess what disappoints me more is that I would expect a $70 mouse to act more reliably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
