Mighty Mouse

zAbbo

'Meet the mouse that reinvented the wheel. The scroll wheel, that is. At $49, Mighty Mouse features the revolutionary Scroll Ball that lets you move anywhere inside a document, without lifting a finger. And with touch-sensitive technology concealed under the seamless top shell, you get the programability of a four-button mouse in a single-button design. Click, roll, squeeze and scroll. This mouse just aced the maze.'

First 2 right click mac mouse, looks good, costs 49 dollars, so assume its going to be 49 euro.

Right Click but no Right Button , interesting

it's pretty slick, they took their time with making a (sc)roll wheel (and a second button) but they sure have justified it. I can imagine just how good the scroll function would be for quark and photoshop.

From The Register: "Apple hauls mouse technology into 1990s".

Hehe.

Single-button looks,

We've pissed the diehards off enough with that whole Intel stunt...

multi-button charm

...but we're still appealing to the mass market. Love us. Please...

What the hell is the "squeeze" about? iMouseterbation?

Mind you, the rollball has some potential, mainly in graphics packages and navigating MacOS I should imagine though. I assume the "Scroll" function (almost as revolutionary as Shuffle, eh?) uses the rollball too? In that case, aren't they advertising the same thing under two different functions?

Seems like they're just trying too hard to make something sound wonderfully new and exciting, without it actually being anything like it.

Fabulous features.

Fabulous prices.

I'll wait for the wireless one myself, TBH

OK read this verdict here.

while the Mighty Mouse is better than some I've tried, I'm not sure it's worth more than double the £15 I spent on the Logitech

It's a gimmick and it does use a button - it's just a different shape, wow.

They are. They are simply two inputs just like on any other mouse except that it's badly hampered by the fact apple is trying to make it seem as if it's still one button.

I've just got one.
Firstly it looks & feels very similar to the original mouse that
came with my powermac. I've been using it with
my Powermac and Mini, both running Panther. It works straight off (no drivers or anything like that) for left and right clicking, plus the scroll.
The side buttons don't work though, and when I popped the cd into the machine to see if I could install software to get more functionality out of the mouse I discovered it only works with Tiger. So if you've only got Panther it's mostly a normal mouse. I prefer it to my logitech click plus though, it's light, very accurate, and the tiny scroll is much more effective than the large scroll wheels on ordinary mice (more scroll for less motion). Horizontal scrolling is great on my tiny iBook. You do have to take your left finger off the surface to right click, but I can live with that.
I'm very happy with it - the next plan is to install the software on my 10.4 iBook and see what it's really like.

anywhere in dublin sellin these!

Picked mine up in the US last week. It's excellent; way better than the standard single button mouse. The left and right click are completely natural - it hasn't interpreted my clicks incorrectly yet.

The scroll button/wheel is a definite improvement over the traditional scroll wheel - you can move up/down/left/right with ease.

I can highly recommend it

Cheers
