Product Description
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.

 Used to have Tracking Speed Problem September 25, 2007
22 out of 24 found this review helpful
When I first got this I was disappointed by the speed of the tracking. It was TOO slow, but I later discovered that day that I could easily fix this by installing SteerMouse from Apple's main site. Which give's you full customization for your Mighty Mouse. And SteerMouse is free by the way..
Just search SteerMouse on google and you should find what you need.
I quote from Apple's download site:
About SteerMouse
An advanced driver for USB and Bluetooth mice. It also supports Apple Mighty Mouse very well.
SteerMouse can assign various functions to buttons that Apple's software does not allow, including double-clicks, modifier clicks, application switching, assignment of shortcut keys, "snap to" cursor movement, which moves the cursor to target (such as an OK button), and more.
SteerMouse lets you control the cursor's Sensitivity on top of the Tracking Speed. (Apple's software only allows adjustment for the Tracking Speed.) By adjusting both configurations, you can customize the ideal setting for the cursor to fit the movements of your hand.
 Bad design for long term use! December 11, 2007
21 out of 26 found this review helpful
When we first got this mouse, we loved it, but it has a major design flaw. There is no way to really clean the little track ball, unless you disassemble the entire mouse and are really good with puzzles. Besides this, the bluetooth works flawlessly, the feel and usefulness is everything you would expect from Apple. Given the design flaw, Apple should start a cleaning support program that would allow you to get a free cleaning each year.
 Works with Windows! October 15, 2007
20 out of 22 found this review helpful
I'm a Windows user who happens to like Apple's design aesthetic.
The wireless Might Mouse works well with my Lenovo laptop running Windows Vista. I'm using the built in blue tooth card and drivers - which means no dongles to carry along! No special drivers are needed either.
I like the mouse! It's clean (no visible buttons), tracks well and has good heft.
Issues I have found are -
- 3 of the 4 possible buttons work under Windows - Left, Right and Middle click. On Mac's - squeezing the sides of the mouse triggers a fourth button; this doesn't happen with Vista's default mouse driver.
- The ball allows scrolling up and down, but not sideways on Vista.
- Pairing the mouse with Bluetooth is easy - as long as you know the default "code" on the mouse is 0000.

Update after a few months of use: Apple has prioritized form over function. I liked this enough to buy my wife one too - and we both found our wrists hurting after a few months of use. The mighty mouse is not ergonomic.
I've since stopped using it and moved back to a Microsoft ergonomic mouse. It's not as pretty, but I value my wrists. I don't recommend this mouse if you intend using it for hours a day.
Good mouse, with some caveats... December 30, 2007
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
Overall, this is a pretty darned good mouse. It features excellent tracking, it is thankfully minimalistic (unlike many mice that have so many buttons it's nearly impossible to figure out how to use the bloody thing), and has that wonderful mini-trackball, which is the best possible way to navigate webpages or large displays (such as Photoshop). Bluetooth pairing with my iMac was a piece of cake, and mouse sensitivity and speed is excellent. Stylistically, it is a great looking mouse -- typical Jonathan Ives stuff.
On the downside, the biggest complaint I have about the mouse is that the right click function is slightly spotty for some reason (right-clicks register maybe 95% of the time), and the shape is not ergonomic (though not bad in the hand). I'd prefer an Apple ergonomic mouse with the same minimalist configuration.
03-14-2008 Update: Well, the mouse just expired... I was using the scroll ball and it basically froze and would not turn anymore. Despite an hour trying to fix the problem, including an attempt at disassembling the device, it finally went into the trash and I picked up a Logitech v470 replacement. This was a disappointment given the mouse wasn't that old, but outside of its warranty period. Check out my Logitech review.
Nice Mouse March 8, 2008

I just bought a new Macbook PRO and was looking for a matching mouse, bluetooth, well made...so I went with the Mighty Mouse. The pros are that it LOOKS great with Apple, it connects via bluetooh, is fairly smooth with tracking. The problems with it are that it's limited in terms of buttons. If you look at a Logitech mouse you find 4-6 buttons or sometimes MORE, this has a great scroll wheel, you're apple one click, and some "side buttons" that supposedly do something...but feel very awkward.
I would reccommend TRYING it out at an Apple store first. I like it, but it's no where near as awesome as my Logitech G7.
