Editorial Reviews:

The Mighty Mouse Wireless Standalone Kit complements your Apple computer and makes controlling it a breeze. It's fully Bluetooth-enabled, letting you operate your Mac from anywhere in the room. Laser tracking lets you work without rollers or tracking mechanisms -- no more wearing out or clogging, no more mouse balls to fish out and clean. The entire top shell of the Wireless Mouse operates as a super-sensitive button - the body pivots up and down to actuate the click mechanism. The force-sensing side buttons give you added control, and the elliptical shape accommodates right and left-handed users equally. A miniature scroll ball on the top adds to the control, making it a pleasure to use.

Summary: Awesome Product
Comment: This is an awesome product. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has an Apple laptop.
Customer Rating:
Summary: poor mouse
Comment: The worst Apple product I have ever bought. It ghost all over my imac. Moves when I am not touching it and Apple cannot or will not help me. I have gone back to using a cheap wireless mouse that works much better, but not very well.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Don't Buy
Comment: Do not buy this mouse. I have been through two now and the scroll button has stopped working. Read the reviews on the internet, many, many people have problems with the scroll button. If we don't buy, perhaps Apple will go back to making a quality product.

Summary: Great Mouse But Slow On Movement due to weight of mouse
Comment: This is a great mouse and the trackball to scroll is awesome, however the only flaw is that the mouse is very heavy in comparison to other mice on the market, this makes it harder to get used to moving around on the pad. Hope this helps anyone. great mouse.

Summary: Horrible and Frustrating!
Comment: "Let's face it, in the world of technology the mouse is not exactly the most complicated piece of gear in a computer environment! It should have a minimum of basic features that work well. The Apple Mighty Mouse is way off the mark! I recently transitioned from a PC to an IMac and this is just one of the many frustrating elements of adapting to the Apple world!
*
Sure, the mouse connects via bluetooth built in to the Mac so there are no external connections whatsoever. It is white and matches the keyboard and Mac console. 2 great features. Does it work? No!
*
First, the size is so small that only the smallest of hands would be comfortable using it. Also, the shape has no ergonomic design at all. It's just flat! Look around at any other mouse out there, there's a reason they have hand molded shapes! This one is just plain uncomfortable and will actually strain your hand/wrist in long sessions of use (especially if you have larger hands like me).
*
The worse function of this mouse, however, comes from it's lack of acceleration. There are no adjustments (beyond maxing out Tracking speed - which I did) to make this mouse speed across your screen like all the other PC based mice I have ever used. What this means is that you will have to physically pick up the mouse and move it to navigate your full screen (you'd run off the edge of your desk otherwise). To make it across my 24" screen (20" actual) the mouse must be moved 5" laterally (side to side). To move top to bottom 13" it needs to be moved 3". On my PC using a Logitech wireless laser mouse at fastest setting, I barely have to move my wrist to get the cursor from one side of the screen to the other.
*
Finally, the dual button functionality most of us are use to on all other mice is incorporated into a single side sensitive button on the Mighty Mouse. However, as slick as this may look, it fail to work consistently. So, you'll be frustrated that you're pressing the right front part of the mouse and either nothing happens or it performs a "left" click instead of the desired "right".
*
The mouse has a button on the bottom to "turn off" to save batteries, but I doubt anyone will use this with any regularity. Thus, the battery life when left "on" is rather short. My Energizer Lithium (takes 2 AA's) lasted 7 weeks.
*
I will now seek a much better designed and functioning mouse to replace this major flaw in equipment. It's amazing that Apple can offer this dysfunctional mouse as it's only wireless choice! Stay clear and go for a proven winner like Logitech and many other non-Apple brands.
*
Happy mousing!"
