not for furry houses that need vacuuming!

by agathafroo , Jun 28 '01
Pros: uncommonly beautiful; no gross trackball accumulating goo
Cons: cat fur does stick to the eye pretty often, causing mouse problems
Okay, I guess I already sound like a total slob, but I'm not (really). I do have five cats. Although I vacuum once a week, I can't keep up with the furry beasts. There is fur everywhere, especially around Day Seven when there are Furry Tumbleweeds in...

A beauty, most of the time

by wowser , Mar 06 '04
Pros: ergonomic; attractive,
Cons: flex can be a problem; grime build up
This was my first Mac mouse (I switched over on the Mac's 20th anniversary!) and it was all quite new to me. I was familiar with plugging it into the keyboard and this makes up for it being rather a short cable (a couple of feet) and this is fine ...

Apple Pro Mouse: Ahhhhh! The cord won't reach!

by zumiez007 , Jan 09 '01
Pros: sleek.
Cons: over priced, knock-off of Microsoft verson, doesn't glide well.
The Apple Pro Mouse, is semi-new type of mouse. It has no internal ball, for lint and dust to be caught on. That means that the cursor will never skip or jump. The Microsoft optical mouse is the same as the Apple Pro Mouse, except it was made...

One way cool mouse

by capncrunch , Sep 01 '00
Pros: optical, nice button, looks cool, standard
Cons: 1 button, no wheel
This mouse is great. The facts that it's standard and optical makes it way better than the PC standard mice, which you have to continuously clean. The thing about the whole surface being a button is a neat idea, and it help in some respects. Plus, the...

A pro mouse, for pro users

by gohan0010 , Apr 04 '01
Pros: So nice and smooth, tracks great, no cleaning
Cons: there is nothing wrong with perfection
This is the greatest mouse I have ever had. It fits perfectly into your hand, not as if it was a well designed mouse, but as if it was an extension of your hand. The seamless design is great. And being able to click anywhere is a definite plus. The...

Eye Candy

by hpvamp , Jan 29 '01
Pros: Looks great
Cons: Doesn't feel right, only once button, overpriced.
The apple pro mouse is flawed:

It lacks two buttons
It lacks a scroll wheel
It lacks the proper feel and support for your palm
It is expensive

Sure, it looks great, and is a great looking compliment for your new G4 or...

Ok, but needs more

by TomHirashima , Jan 30 '01
Pros: precise, looks good (when clean)
Cons: skips sometimes, clear shell gets dirty fast, one button, pricey
The macintosh pro mouse is a step up for standard mice for the Macintosh platform (if you buy an new G4), and is adequate as such. I got mine free at work, and so I can't complain much about it, but people who pay $60 for theirs may wish they'd bought...

One Word: Perfect!

by PCTek , Dec 26 '00
Pros: Great Size and Shape, Excellent Design
Cons: None!
I got my Apple Pro Mouse when I went to the MacWorld New York 2000 Keynote. This was an excellent suprise. Ever since i got my PowerBook, I needed a *real* pointing device, because, let's admit it, You can't Photoshop or Quake with a trackpad.

Design overkills Apple Pro mouse

by scobb99 , Mar 30 '02
Pros: Free if you buy a new iMac. Easy to replace with a proper mouse.
Cons: Non-intuitive, causes wrist pain. Sad step backwards for appearances.
I didn't pay for my Apple Pro Mouse, or I would have taken it back. It came included with the really cool new iMac and was the only sour note in the otherwise splendid symphony of oohs and aahs that accompanied the amazingly painless iMac setup.

Like my ex's cute albino mice

by livewire_13 , Nov 17 '08
Pros: generally works well, doesn't collect gunk
Cons: short cord, can skip
Apple's known for offering reliable, if expensive, computer products. The Apple Pro Mouse is just another example.I got my white squeaker when I got an eMac for college nearly seven years ago. Back then optical mice were just becoming common, but ...

A Godsend

by tekriter , Mar 30 '01
Pros: Adjustable click tension. Smooth, precise tracking
Cons: A little costly
I have a somewhat different perspective. I am a writer with Parkinson's Disease. That means I get tremors in my hand that frequently result in multiple, unintentional mouse clicks and, usually, corrections.

I purchased the Pro because it...

Relief from Hockey Puck Syndrome!

by pinqkandi , Jan 26 '01
Pros: Optical, sleek, comfortable, accurate.
Cons: Wee bit expensive.
The Apple Pro Mouse finally got rid of the uncomfortable hockey puck USB mouse. The Pro Mouse is very comfortable to use. The entire surface is a button, so you can place your hand where ever you find it most comfortable. The mouse uses optical tracking...

Better Than The Hockey Puck

by jgiannone , Mar 18 '01
Pros: Bigger, slicker and no mechanical ball.
Cons: None.
I bought my iMac DV (Blueberry) in May 2000 and saw that the mouse was shaped like a hockey puck. I got used to the grip but the ball was attracting dust which caused the mouse to slow down. But when the Pro Mouse came out, I wanted it.

Design without usefulness
by mboverload ,Mar 16 '04
Pros: - Preety
Cons: - One button - Gets dirty easy - Not for big hands - rip off
Sure this mouse is nice. It is clear and you only have one button to push. Two buttons must confuse Apple people or something because this is worthless.

I use Macs and PCs. I have 2 menus set up on my computer, a right click and middle click menu and I don't know what I would do without it. It frustrates me endlessly to have to put up with this nonsense one button.

I guess Apples are just too powerful to have more than 1 button.... =P

My friend has it and I was using it. He said he paid 30 bucks for it (he is big on used parts and other good deals) but I have heard it retails for 60 bucks. That is crazy.

[b]A REGULAR OPTICAL MOUSE COSTS $10. Go out and buy one that isn't a ripoff.[/b]

Glitz without the substance. Again.
