    Hey,

    Anyone else have a wireless mighty mouse?

    I have a love/hate relationship with mine. I find it gives me RSI from its shape, and the middle click is a bit gay sometimes, but most annoyingly, the right click stops working about every hour.

    The only solution Ive found to this so far, is to turn it off, back on, then set it up again as a new bluetooth device.

    Same here.

    I have just disabled right click and use Ctrl-Click now. Works much better i think.

    Everybody has this problem with the MightyMouse including the rollerball which stops scrolling eventually. I think the whole right-click problem is caused by there being no actual seperate button as most PC mice do.

    Microsoft make the best mice IMHO (I feel really dirty saying that, but I've got one and it's very comfortable)

    The right-click problem is very common but only seems to effect the wireless mighty mouse. Apple's wireless keyboards suffer from similar issues. Frequent cleaning should keep the scroll-ball working (if your lucky). But Apple's mice have always had a fairly short life-span in my experience. I went through several of the old pro mice.

    It's easy to forget but the might mouse is only Apple's first multi-button/scroll-wheel mouse. I'm sure they'll design a better one next time.
