Product Description

The Mighty Mouse Wireless Standalone Kit complements your Apple computer and makes controlling it a breeze. It's fully Bluetooth-enabled, letting you operate your Mac from anywhere in the room. Laser tracking lets you work without rollers or tracking mechanisms -- no more wearing out or clogging, no more mouse balls to fish out and clean. The entire top shell of the Wireless Mouse operates as a super-sensitive button - the body pivots up and down to actuate the click mechanism. The force-sensing side buttons give you added control, and the elliptical shape accommodates right and left-handed users equally. A miniature scroll ball on the top adds to the control, making it a pleasure to use.

Amazon.com Product Description

How do you improve on the mouse that has everything? Remove its tail. Mighty Mouse--the mouse that changed the way you scroll--has gone wireless via fast and secure Bluetooth technology. Now you can take that seamless, touch-sensitive, 360-degree scrolling design with you wherever you go.

Like its namesake, Mighty Mouse puts powerful precision in a pint-sized package. With all its clicking capability tucked neatly under the seamless top shell, Mighty Mouse boasts drop-dead good looks and wireless portability, too. And then there's that ingenious Scroll Ball--the tiniest such mechanism ever used in an input device. No wonder it's a wonder.

Try reading this web page without scrolling. Every day you navigate through files, email and web pages by scrolling horizontally and vertically. Now you can do it all with your fingertip. Mighty Mouse's Scroll Ball features miniature sensors that allow you to manipulate what appears on your screen merely by moving your finger. Scroll up and down to read a long web page or document. Scroll back and forth to follow a timeline in iMovie or keep track of a large spreadsheet in Excel. But getting from point A to point B doesn't always mean traveling in a straight line. Take a spin on the mouse that's not afraid of kitty-corner. With Mighty Mouse's Scroll Ball, you can scroll at a 45-degree angle — even roll in 360-degree sweeps. Pan across a massive digital image in iPhoto or Adobe Photoshop. Take in a whole PDF in Preview. The Scroll Ball moves the content on your screen just as your eyes might move across a printed page. The Scroll Ball acts as an extra mouse button too, offering you one of a few clever clicking options.

<b>All-Terrain Mouse</b>
The wireless Mighty Mouse finds its way courtesy of a laser tracking system that boasts 20 times more sensitivity to surface detail than traditional optical tracking engines. So you can glide the wireless Mighty Mouse over more surfaces--metal, wood, plastic, even your denim (or tweed) clad leg.

<b>It Squeezes, Not Squeaks</b>
It wouldn't be fair to call Mighty Mouse a two-button mouse with one button. Especially when it responds to pressure from your fingers in four different places. Besides the left- and right-click functions, the Scroll Ball clicks down to act as a third mouse button. And force-sensing buttons on either side of Mighty Mouse respond when you press in with your finger and thumb. Perfect for Mac OS X users, the side buttons are pre-programmed to activate Exposé, so you can view all your windows with a squeeze. Of course, you can also customize Mighty Mouse to open whatever you choose--Spotlight, Dashboard or any application when you have Mac OS X v10.4.6 or later.

<b>The Button That Wasn't</b></br>Alas the fate of the one-button mouse in today's multibutton world. Who has time for intuitive, elegant design when there is so much clicking to do? Thanks to a smooth top shell with touch-sensitive technology beneath, Mighty Mouse allows you to right click without a right button. Capacitive sensors under Mighty Mouse's seamless top shell detect where your fingers are and predict your clicking intentions, so you don't need two buttons — just two fingers. Click on the left side to use Mighty Mouse in its simplest, single-button form. Click on the right to access contextual menus within applications and edit, copy, label or download from your mouse. It's simple sleight of hand.

Perfectly portable, the wireless Mighty Mouse goes anywhere you do and banishes clutter in its wake. A secure Bluetooth connection keeps you in control from up to 30 feet, and you can forget lugging around a bulky charging dock: the wireless Mighty Mouse works with one or two AA batteries. Two last longer, but one works just as well and packs ultralight.

<b>A Mac and Mouse Game</b>
Because Apple engineers designed Mighty Mouse to work in perfect harmony with the operating system, you get the full Mac OS X experience from the comfort of your mouse. Take that Scroll Ball button, for instance. Pre-programmed to launch Dashboard, it gives you access to a world of information in a single click. Mighty Mouse's side buttons show you all your open windows in Exposé with a squeeze. Of course, you can program both of these buttons--along with Mighty Mouse's right- and left-click functions--to launch Dashboard, Exposé, Spotlight, Application Switcher or any application you choose. Mac OS X gives you the capability, thanks to an intuitive System Preference pane.

<b>Switch Users, Not Mice</b>
Once you set your Mighty Mouse preferences, your Mac will remember them, even if you share your computer with others. Each account on your Mac has its own preferences, so everyone can use Mighty Mouse differently. Program Mighty Mouse as a simple, single-button mouse for a youngster. Set buttons to launch user-specific apps. Limit application access for children by pre-programming Mighty Mouse and locking System Preferences using parental controls. No matter how they work or play, Mighty Mouse makes everybody happy--all from one Mac.

<b>X-Mouse</b>
Mighty Mouse helps you make the most of Mac OS X. Pre-configured to launch Dashboard from the Scroll Ball button and Exposé from the side squeeze buttons, Mighty Mouse gives you lots of other options: <ul>

Program the Scroll Ball button to launch Application Switcher, then move from one task to another with a scroll.

Set any button to start a new Spotlight search and find what you're looking for, fast.

Change the side buttons from displaying all windows in Exposé to displaying only the windows in the current application.

Launch any application you choose from any button on Mighty Mouse: Just select "other" from the button drop-down menu and browse for applications in the Finder.

Designate either top-shell button as your primary--the perfect solution for southpaws.

Activate screen zoom with the keyboard and Scroll Ball. </ul>

Perfect MacBooks mouse!.......2007-06-11

I bought this mouse at CompUSA and was a little skeptical about the design that I read about but figured I could always return it if it didn't work out. It is GREAT! The scroll wheel moves very comfortably both horizontally & vertically... it has a left & right click buttons as well as squeezeable buttons on the side... all programmable! I use the left & right buttons traditionally and the squeeze brings up Expose. Very handy! Finally you can program a FOURTH button... the scroll wheel. I press down on that and boom... my Widgets come up! Finally... the bluetooth set up in seconds... no annoying USB antenna on the side of my MacBook. I think I would be hard up to find a better mouse for OSX.

Too small for my hands.......2007-06-08

I love when both form and function are rated high. Though beautiful, i get cramps because it's too small.

The track ball, however, is great.

OK Mouse.......2007-06-07

Overall I like the mouse. I like the use of the buttons and scroll wheel. Side buttons is a bit hard to press because you have to use some pressure but nice to have. (I just wish it can be set to a "back" function when I'm browsing the net.)

The only flaw I see is the weight of the mouse. It feels very light and kinda cheap. Some people may like that but I find it that a mouse with some weight feels better and generally has a smoother control.

Awesome Mouse!.......2007-05-29

I received the wireless mighty mouse as an upgrade to my intel imac I purchased from the apple store. I have used windows based machines all my life and have used similar mouse designs. It took about 15 minutes to get the feel of this mouse. No problems at all. After a few modifications like scrolling speed and assigning certain tasks to certain buttons, it felt like the same mice I had been using with the PCs. Awesome products...

Great mouse with two flaws........2007-05-28

At first I really didn't care for this mouse, but it just takes getting used to. At first I thought the pressure detector was defective because half of my right clicks were interpreted as left clicks. Then I figured out that it works perfectly when you take your index finger off the "left button" before you right click. Annoying at first, but I quickly became used to it so that it is fine to me now. No worries about that anymore. But, there are two flaws:

1. The mouse has been designed so that the top shelf itself is just one button, hence the need for pressure sensors to detect right and middle clicks. However, this makes it rather difficult to click and drag in tight spaces when you have to lift the mouse and keep the button clicked down. If you do need to lift the mouse and keep a button clicked, you have to have your thumb on the left squeeze button and your ring or pinky finger on the right squeeze button. Then you have to click, squeeze, and lift. This is a little annoying and could have been prevented by using LESS technology (look at any cheep mouse with two dedicated click buttons).

2. The design of the mouse makes it very difficult/impossible to clean underneath the scroll button. There are MANY reports on apple's store website (in the might mouse reviews) of the scroll button going out within months. For a seventy dollar mouse, this is ridiculous. If you live in a dusty place (dorm room for example), think twice about this mouse. However, the one-year warranty should allow you to get another mouse if the scroll button does crap out.

Despite those two flaws, I really love this mouse and would buy another one if it broke down after the warranty expired. After about two hours, it felt perfectly natural in my hand. And I am glad that it is easy to turn the mouse off (simply slide a cover over the laser sensor) to conserve battery power and protect the sensor at the same time.
