“The mighty mouse SUCKS. You can’t rest both fingers on the buttons at once as you click, because it relies on a sensor on the surface [blah blah whatever]”

Thats not true i have both the bluetooth and the wired one here right now and i dont need to even lift my finger to right or left click. Correct me if i am wrong but i read that the sensor is a pressure sensor.

Just a little bit of info my blutooth mouse tracks better on a black mousepad than my wired one… this seem contrary of some of the other reviews i read. and if you use one battery it weighs the same as the other one while not losing any tracking ability… WIERD

[...] Vía Gizmodo me he enterado de que minutos después de su anuncio, uno de los editores se compró uno. Al recibirlo en casa, posteó las fotos del desembalaje en su blog. Junto con estas bonitas imágenes, podemos leer una sucinta reseña que básicamente nos dice que éste es el mejor ratón sobre la faz de la tierra y blah, blah, blah. La viralidad de la noticia disminuye cuando nos enteramos de que este editor se incluyó hace unos meses dentro del grupo de los Mighty Mouse Haters. [...]

What about battery life? Does the documentation that comes with the mouse mention anything on expected life from 2 AA’s?

It is just as quiet as the old Mighty Mouse, and like most Apple products, whipser quiet.

I’ve been searching for a bluetooth mouse that has a nice quiet click. I spend nearly all my time in the library and I don’t want to be that jerk that everyone can hear clicking his mouse. I tried the new logitech bluetooth mouse, it was awesome, but was soooo loud. I had to send it back. How’s the click on the new mighty mouse? Loud? Quiet? In between? Thanks.

[...] Nick Starr has posted some pictures of the new and old Mighty Mice for comparison. In his hands-on experience he notes that the Wireless Mighty Mouse can be used with one or two AA batteries and that it works on 2-inch thick glass (a feat for optical mice). [...]

“The mighty mouse SUCKS. You can’t rest both fingers on the buttons at once as you click, because it relies on a sensor on the surface [blah blah whatever]”
Have you acutally ever used one? You can rest your whole hand on the mouse, and only lift your left finger when you want a right click. There is none of this one finger floating in the air business you speak of. I for one think that the mighty mouse is a very elegant solution, in typical Apple style. By the way, I have one of these logitech mice that are so heralded every time the mighty mouse comes up, and I find still, that the mighty mouse is just nicer to use on the mac.

The mighty mouse SUCKS. You can’t rest both fingers on the buttons at once as you click, because it relies on a sensor on the surface to determine whether you’ve right-clicked or left-clicked. Very uncomfortable to always keep one finger raised off the mouse. I like apple stuff, but damn, get with the program. Two buttons. The little slit down the center doesn’t bug me, honest!!

“Hey moron, I have a mouse that also has keys for up, down, left, right and a whole bunch of other things including the letters of the alphabet. It’s called a keyboard.”

The whole point is that because the buttons are on your mouse, you don’t have to use the keyboard for them. You don’t have to use a mouse at all, you could just use a keyboard to navigate your computer… But you don’t do that, do you? Just because something is possible in multiple ways doesn’t mean that there shouldn’t be more efficient options.

Yes you can shut the laser area, just like you can with the Bluetooth Optical Apple mouse.

My only question is: Is that switch next to the laser an on/off switch? I was assuming it was, but I thought I’d ask for sure…

The Logitech cordless mouse for the mac also doesn’t have a visible laser. And it has two buttons, a scroll wheel, forward and backward buttons and volume buttons. And it doesn’t feel completely unnatural to use like the apple bar of soap!!!

How many times in the day do you have to change font size? Use the keyboard, jackass.

Wow, the “best wireless mouse you’ve used” and apparently you’ve never seen a laser mouse with an invisible laser. That says a lot…

BTW, all laser mice have invisible lasers. Logitech, Microsoft, etc. Good mice also have much higher dpi, and extra buttons for Back, Forward, Switch tab, Close, Change font size, etc.

The question about Windows is valid. Apple states their bluetooth keyboard and mice do not work with Bootcamp even though it has drivers for the bluetooth module.

Have you tried the new mouse with Windows in Bootcamp ?

I love this new mighty mouse! I’ve been using it all day and it works very well (i like how apple threw in two energizer lithium batteries (but at 70 bucks they better do something nice like that). The laser mouse uses an infrared beam too it seems, as you can not see the light when you move the mouse around. Overall great product
