Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple Mighty Mouse Wireless Kit
Customer Review: Not Quite Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased my second wireless Mighty Mouse -- this one for my desktop system, a Dual-G5 PowerMac -- when my Logitech S530 mouse died an early death. My first wireless Mighty Mouse was purchased for my MacBook Pro.
Initially, I replaced the failed Logitech mouse for the desktop with the tailed version of the Mighty Mouse (review posted on Amazon), which did not work out for me. (Details in my other review.) So, based on my positive experience with a wireless Mighty Mouse and my MacBook Pro, I purchased one for my desktop. This review is based on both those experiences.
First, this is a good-looking device. Like all Apple products, they spend resources on producing a visual impact with their hardware. The cool-factor is there.
The function of the mouse is very good. It has four buttons, although they are not apparent. The two primaries are activated by "leaning" the mouse to the left or right. It sounds more complicated than it is and don't let that intimidate you. The third button is under the scroll-ball. The fourth is activated by squeezing the sides of the mouse.
Bluetooth pairing with the desktop Mac was trivial. Turn it, tell the system to find the mouse, and pair it.
I turned off the third and fourth buttons because I never use them. I use the scroll-ball a lot, though, and generally like the way it functions. I'll have to check with my MBP mouse, but the desktop mouse requires a little pressure on the scroll-ball to obtain full activation of the scrolling feature. This isn't an issue for me, but it might be for those who use the third button as well. (I may have a defective unit -- but it doesn't matter because I don't use that third button.)
Cursor tracking is good and I have the sensitivity turned up pretty high. I also have the double-click sensitivity turned up high. I'm a fast-clicker and don't need much time to get there.
My only reservation about this mouse is when playing games. If your game uses the right mouse button to perform some action (like navigating in WoW), then you may find you sometimes don't get what you're expecting. This happens to me sometimes when I think I've turned (the camera angle changed) but I actually activated the left button and not the right. So, if I move forward, I swing back in the original direction and move that way. This is probably attributable to user error (or as a friend sometimes tells me, SUE -- stupid user error! :) but it is something to be aware of.
Overall, though, I really like the way this mouse works. The looks are lagniappe.
Description of Apple Mighty Mouse Wireless Kit
The Mighty Mouse's tracking engine is based on powerful laser technology that delivers 20 times the performance of standard optical tracking, giving you more accuracy and responsiveness on more surfaces. It works just as well on your office desk as it does on a table at your favorite coffee spot without a mousepad. The Might Mouse combines the capability of a multibutton mouse with Apple's signature top-shell design for both form and function. Mighty Mouse's Scroll Ball features miniature sensors that allow you to manipulate what appears on your screen merely by moving your finger. The 360-degrees scrolling perfectly positions to roll smoothly under just one finger. Touch-sensitive technology under Mighty Mouse's seamless top shell detect where you're clicking, transforming your sleek, one-button mouse into a two-button wonder. Pan images in iPhoto, view timelines in iMovie HD and Final Cut Pro, traverse bars in GarageBand and Logic Pro while sipping your morning cup of coffee or typing. Pre-programmed to launch Dashboard, Mighty Mouse's side buttons show you all your open windows in Expose with a squeeze. Mac OS X gives you the capability to choose any application from the intuitive System Preference pane.Digital Cameras and Photo Categories
