  • Apple's Mighty Mouse — Here It Comes to Save My Day "Connecting the Dots" W/O

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 13, 2006
    Pros: Wonderful sleek design, easy to use
    Cons: Expensive, Scroll Ball might not work properly after a few months

    Summary: I didn’t think I was going to need a mouse when I bought my new MacBook Pro laptop. I’m used to being “mouseless” whenever I use a laptop, and most of the time I’m never in a place where I can really use a mouse. But working as a ... read more

  • Needs to be grounded

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 17, 2009
    Pros: Track ball has nice feel, it easily spins and rotates. 
    Cons: Lack of ground wire caused my mouse to have a life of it's own.

    Summary: The Mighty Mouse came with my purchase of my iMac.  At first I was in love with this mouse.  The track ball in the middle of the mouse was small and it was easy to spin.  It made for a breeze to scroll on webpages and documents.  The ... read more

  • Decent mouse but not as ergonomic as competitors

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 23, 2009
    Pros: Programmable, can be used for lefties, nice industrial design
    Cons: Expensive, not as ergonomic as competitors, mouse pointer sometimes jumps

    Summary: Growing up in a Windows world, I was never much of a fan of Apple mice. Sure, they looked nice, but when it came down to functionality, they were always a bit off, whether it was the infamous "hockey puck"-style mouse from the original candy-colored ... read more

  • The Mighty Mouse

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 26, 2008
    Pros: Great scroll wheel action. Style. Right-Clickable. Nice "feel".
    Cons: Scroll wheel tends to get dirty and stop until cleaned.

    Summary: The Apple wired Mighty Mouse is a great mouse for Mac computers and works for PCs also. I bought one for use with a PC and then bought a Mac that came with another one. My favorite feature is the tiny and sensitive scroll wheel button as it allows very ... read more

  • Nothing mighty about this mouse

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 30, 2008
    Pros: - The design fits well with (some) Apple computers.- Horizontal scrolling
    Cons: - Short USB cable- Scroll ball frequently stops working- Price for features

    Summary: The Mighty Mouse features four buttons: left and right buttons (although you cannot see them), scroll wheel (can act as a third button), and two side buttons (which act as one button). The scroll wheel and side buttons can be programmed to do many ... read more

  • A small fall from grace for Apple

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 29, 2008
    Pros: Scroll ball & multiple, programmable buttons
    Cons: Bad ergonomics, screwy scroll ball, kind of plain

    Summary: Since Apple makes the most hip, graceful, and robust computers on the planet you would think that they should be able to make an input device for their computers that is also equally amazing. Unfortunately this is not the case, at least not if you ... read more

  • Adequate but annoying

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 3, 2008
    Pros: Looks really cool
    Cons: everything else is mediocre

    Summary: There is no doubt that this mouse is attractive. And it's also the first mouse from Apple that can right click. Unfortunately the only thing that's great about this mouse is that it looks cool. As far as the right click goes - it's not really a right ... read more

  • More like Flighty Mouse

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 2, 2008
    Pros: An Apple mouse that's optical and has both right-click and scroll wheel.
    Cons: Scroll wheel malfunctions, side buttons too sensitive, craps out at six months.

    Summary: I've owned and worked on Macs for over 10 years, both professionally and personally. As such, I have experienced all sorts of Apple mice, including the horrible "hockey puck" mouse on the first G4s. In fact, I've still got it hanging around somewhere. ... read more

  • Apple's best so far, but could be better

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 15, 2007
    Pros: The scroll ball is awesome, finally right-click functionality
    Cons: Expensive, bad shape... Apple didn't learn from the hockey puck debacle, 4th button temperamental

    Summary: Being an Apple user for many years, I have grown used to their beautifully designed hardware and software applications and simplicity in use. Unfortunately, Apple's mice and keyboards have never been their strong suit, mostly due to their stubborn ... read more

  • A mouse I enjoy seeing.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 12, 2007
    Pros: Great Design and Great Features
    Cons: Short cord.

    Summary: Packaging: If you have ever opened an Apple product, and I am assuming that you have, you know that Apple’s attention to detail extends to the contents and the placement of everything in one of their packages. This is also true with the ... read more

  • Mighty Mouse is great, once you break it in.

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 28, 2007
    Pros: Works great once broken in.
    Cons: Side buttons are almost useless.

    Summary: I love this mouse. It works great for me, now. I bought this mouse new on eBay. It had never been opened. My first impressions were that it was comfortable in my hand and easy to use and configure with Mac OS X. It is a pleasing white with ... read more

  • Not Up To Apple Standards

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 3, 2007
    Pros: Speed and versatility, ability to set buttons for different tasks
    Cons: Scroll wheel soon becomes a source of frustration, right-click inconsistent

    Summary: When I bought my new iBook G4 over a year ago, I invested in a Mighty Mouse, since I hate trackpads. I soon discovered that, although it was nice to have a right-click capability for a change, that right-click sometimes didn't work too well. Long story ... read more

  • Rock beats scissors, Mouse beats touchpad

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 22, 2006
    Pros: Wonderful design, right and left button functionality.
    Cons: A little pricey but probably worth it.

    Summary: I think it's pretty obvious that a full mouse is preferable to what passes as a "mouse" on a laptop. I bought this mouse to use with my new macbook and have been very pleased with it. The design of this item is purely Apple. Sleek, clean and great ... read more

  • Best Mouse I've Ever Used. Accurate, Customizable and Effortless

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 20, 2006
    Pros: Totally customizable, simple design, very accurate pointing and clicking.
    Cons: Higher price than conventional Mice

    Summary: There is a twisted phrase which goes something like this: “Hell hath no tenacity like that of a convert.” Call me a convert who switched to the Mac after 25 years in the PC world. As a PC user I always hated “mice”. They never worked well ... read more

  • Great mouse, not a normal 2-button mouse

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 24, 2006
    Pros: Sleek design, GREAT scroll ball, light weight
    Cons: side-buttons are annoying

    Summary: This mouse is cool. It retains the great Apple styling, and it is a fantastic fusion of technology and usability. But it is not perfect. The mouse plugs into the computer using a standard USB port. This works great, but the wire is not very long. No ... read more

  • Great mouse, takes a little getting used to it.

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 22, 2006
    Pros: Style! Scroll ball is awesome.
    Cons: Expensive, side button can be selected accidentally.

    Summary: I like the size and shape of Apple mice (though not the horrid hockey puck that came with the original iMac years ago), so I had held off getting one with a scroll wheel until the Mighty Mouse came out. Out of the box, it definitely takes some getting ... read more

  • Has history taught Apple anything?

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 8, 2006
    Pros: Attractive design
    Cons: Average ergonomics, unacceptable left/right button click errors

    Summary: Once upon a time there was the one-button Apple Desktop Bus Mouse 2 -- beautiful in it's simplicity, comfortable to hold and problem free (so long as you cleaned the track ball once in a while!) While the Windows world of two-button mouses passed us by, ... read more

  • An expensive upgrade

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 16, 2005
    Pros: New scroll ball, right-click and side buttons
    Cons: Expensive, kind of cheap feeling, new features not implemented that well

    Summary: As with all Apple products, you have to pay a premium price, but the Mighty Mouse is a big improvement over the old standard Apple mouse. New Features Probably the biggest two changes are the addition of the scroll ball and the right/left ... read more

  • Mighty Mouse: Slick, elegant, imperfect [includes usage tips for the perplexed]

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 3, 2005
    Pros: It looks pretty, and the concept is great ...
    Cons: but sometimes it's confusing to operate.

    Summary: Why the Mighty Mouse? My Kensington Expert Mouse (actually a trackball) ground to a halt, right button failing. It was time for a new mouse, and at about the same time, Apple's new Mighty Mouse was introduced. Like all Apple products, the ... read more

  • More Like 'Satisfying Mouse'

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 12, 2005
    Pros: Easy install, innovative button design, great trackball.
    Cons: Corded, stupid side buttons, button confusion from sensors at times.

    Summary: Ring the church bells, get the ticker tape out, we're having a parade! After years of dictator-like insistence that one button on a mouse was the correct way to do things, Apple recently unveiled the Mighty Mouse. Why such a superlative adjective? ... read more
