 It's mostly good. March 11, 2010

First, the praise:
Okay, I love this mouse. It's super awesome, I love that I can go anywhere with it. When I play The Sims 3 the mouse scrolls around the world wonderfully with no lag. And speaking of scrolling, the scroll ball on the mouse scrolls not only up and down, but also left and right. How cool is that? The battery life lasts a pretty long time. I usually forget that it takes batteries until I get a warning on my screen, and even then I just run the batteries down until the mouse wont click anymore. (If you own a lot of electronics that take AA's like the Mighty Mouse, Wii-motes, etc. rechargeable batteries are a GREAT investment!) I love all the buttons and how it fits into my hand, and I think it's really awesome that it's really just one big button but depending on what part you press down on depends on if you're left/right/center clicking. It's just cool. It's a very cool mouse that works well.
Now the criticism:
A lot of people have had this same problem. The scroll wheel will not last and no, you can not clean it. My iMac came with a wired Mighty Mouse. Eventually the wheel would only scroll down, but the up started working. There's no way to take the ball out and clean it. Once it's done it's done. Luckily, you do get a good run out of it. My wired mouse lasted a couple years. My boyfriend bought me a wireless one to replace it, it's about a year later, and I'm just now starting to feel the scroll stop up. Eventually, I'll need a new mouse. (If you play games on the computer you just HAVE to scroll, you can't avoid it).
Another problem that I've had is one I haven't really heard about. Correct me if I'm wrong but, the mouse will not work on a mouse pad! When I put it on a mouse pad, the cursor would either slowly drift in one direction while I had my hands completely off the mouse, or the cursor would jump around as I moved the mouse. The first two mouse pads I tried had designs on them and I thought it might have something to do with the laser and one of the colors. I got a new mouse pad which had grey and black diamonds on it (very close in color, and very small pattern) and I got the same thing. I mean, maybe i just need to have a solid colored mouse pad? Maybe I've got a funky mouse, I can't be sure. I am sure, however, that the paint on my desk is all worn off where my mouse is, and I get a constant buildup of gunk on the bottom of my mouse from whatever it scrapes up off my desk. It's really frustrating. I didn't have this problem on my wired mouse at all, I have no idea why it's happening on this one.
So summary: It's a really great mouse as long as you don't mind replacing it ever so often, have a good battery stash, and don't mind not using a mousepad!
A good option if you don't want the Magic February 9, 2010

This has always been a good mouse, but I know lots of people whose ball goes bad, gets gummed up or begins not responding properly. That being said, it is a very ergonomic mouse and it works well.
 cleaning the trackball is a nighmare January 29, 2010

The right button is a way too unreliable - I was missing it all the time until I reassigned its functions to the center button. Now this problem is more or less solved, even though I miss the simplicity of the standard mouse.
Cleaning the trackball is a nightmare! I really wish I could just remove it and take all that dirt out of there, but it is not possible, so what I do is turning the mouse upside down and spinning the ball around a clean sheep of paper - this is a trick I found on the internet. Well, it works for few hours, then I have to do it again. Very annoying!

I have had this mouse for over one year and it does not work any more. I regret I did not return it immediately after i bought it. Since first days of use the mouse wheel started to fail, I took it to service with the sleek apple people and they clean it, it seemed to work well. i got home and few minutes later it did not work again. This mouse rather than being a tool it has been a real pain, I spend more time trying to fix it than working with it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. It is a shame that apple makes this very poor quality mouse.
 this mouse is mighty January 11, 2010

I love this mouse. The programmable buttons are great, work like a charm. I love to use this mouse for with graphics software (i.e. adobe products, autocad).
