    Duration of ownership: 2 Months

    Strengths: Bluetooth, Appearance, Multi-functional

    Weaknesses:Lacks Mouse Side Buttons (Back/Forward)

    Overall Evaluation: The mighty mouse is Apple's solution to the much maligned 1 button that Apple stuck with since the first Mac. The selection of Bluetooth mice with small which leads me to believe that this type of interface is falling by the way side. Functionally the mouse works very well. Setup was very easy; it was immediately recognized by my iMac. The mouse tracks well and people still remark about the design when they see it for the first time. The scroll ball works well and provides early multi-direction scrolling.

    Strengths: Wireless - duh!Lightweight (but not too light)Scrollball is awesomeLaser sensor can be coveredOperates on only one batteryTouch sensitive buttons work surprisingly well

    Weaknesses:Pressure sensitive side buttons are a bit difficult to handleDoesn't work with Windows (outside of Boot Camp on your Mac) - Windows just doesn't see it as a Bluetooth device for some reason

    Overall Evaluation: Just bought a new Mighty Mouse (Bluetooth) to complement the new MacBook Pro that just arrived. I wanted a mouse that provided more buttons than the standard 1 from Apple and I definitely like the wireless approach with a laptop.The scrollball takes a little bit of getting used to, but I think I'm going to like it a lot. Not that wheel mice were that cumbersome to scroll sideways (with the shift key held down), but I think the ball is in a class of its own as far as that goes...very intuitive. I'm pretty happy with the weight of the mouse - I don't like those really lightweight wireless mice that people often get for their laptops. The mouse configuration is nice - pretty basic, but handy enough to do anything I would want to do with four buttons. Yeah, there are actually four "buttons" on this mouse. I didn't know exactly what to expect with touch buttons, but I am pleasantly surprised with these. The touch-sensitivity is only used to determine which button I'm pressing not to actually detect the click action. The mouse actually clicks just like the old one-button Apple mice, and then the click is registered as a right-click, left-click, or middle (ball) click based on where the finger is touching the mouse hardest. The default behavior out of the box is to treat a left or right click as a primary click. This is probably a good idea with so many mac users used to a single button mouse (and many of them not even aware that Mac OS X provides a right-click menu).I really don't have much to complain about on this mouse. If there were anything, I'd have to say the side buttons are a bit difficult to click (they don't register clicks like the other three buttons, but rather with pressure sensitivity - and low sensitivity at that).I wish Apple would make a Windows driver for this mouse so that I could used it on my laptop at work and show it off to my friends. I tried to pair the mouse with my laptop in Windows, but no go - Windows doesn't seem to recognize it.All in all, this is a great wireless mouse (much better than the old RF mouse I had from Microsoft. I think I'll be using this one for a while.

    Strengths: Blue-tooth, 360-degree scrolling, easy to use, multi-functions

    Weaknesses:None

    Overall Evaluation: This is a very nice mouse for use with apple white Macbook (color match). It does not need an additional USB port because Macbook has blue-tooth built-in. The setup is easy. 360-degree scrolling made the mouse easy to use for all applications.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Days

    Strengths: Bluetooth, one battery functionality, laser tech, 360-degree scrolling, ergonomics, design

    Weaknesses:Side button hard to press

    Overall Evaluation: Just started using this mouse, so this is an initial review. Biggest issue - the right-click functionality is slightly different compared to conventional mice. The set up on the mighty mouse (MM) is a love-it or hate-it situation. Either you are going to be comfortable with it right away, or you will never get used to it. So I would recommend visiting your local Apple store and trying out the mouse yourself before purchasing. I got used to it right away, so I like the MM. The scroll ball is also a nice feature - allowing simultaneous up/down and left/right browsing. It also functions as a third button, and I have set it up for Expose and it works quit nicely. The side button is harder to use - mainly because you have to really press down on it to activate it. i have the side buttons set up for activating dash board, since I do not access it as much compared to expose. This is one of the few bluetooth mice that also has laser functionality. I think the Microsoft 8000 notebook mouse is the only other one currently on the market with laser and bluetooth. But Microsoft mouse felt like it had cheap pastics. Not so with the MM - quality plastics that feel smooth to the touch. The mouse feels like it has been put together well and has a very solid feel to it. Another nice feature is that the mouse can run on just one battery, though you can use two for longer life. Speaking of batteries, MM comes with high-quality energizer lithium AA batteries in the box. You can also use regular alkaline and even rechargeable batteries - again in one or two configurations. Flexibility and choice is a good thing. Too early to comment on battery life. But so far, this is a very nice mouse. Side button is a little hard to use, and the two-button feature is either a like-it or hate-it thing, so try before you buy.

    Strengths: Easy to use, multi-functions, wireless

    Weaknesses:None that I can find, although Wintel 2-button mouse users may balk

    Overall Evaluation: A longtime Mac user, I am exceedingly comfortable with their 1-click mice. Well, they've added another click and gone Bluetooth wireless with this edition! You will have all the features that you need in a mouse, coupled with portability, dependability and the Apple brand. If your computer is Bluetooth-equipped, then I see no reason NOT to buy this mouse!
