How many of you use actually use the mighty mouse?


Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.
