The Mighty Mouse is exactly the same size and shape as the Apple Pro mouse, which we found to be abnormally large by today's standards. If you've been using a smaller or mini mouse, you may find the feel of the Mighty Mouse uncomfortable at first. For the most part, the Mighty Mouse does an awesome job of distinguishing between single, left and right mouse clicks. In fact, we have yet to run into a problem in this department. However, the way Apple positioned the side buttons made it almost impossible for us to trigger them without readjusting the placement of our hand on the mouse. This major inconvenience is a result of the side buttons being placed too far up on the device. Of course you could address the side button issue by altering the way you hold the mouse, but that may throw off the positioning of your finger on the scroll ball -- arguably the best part of the Mighty Mouse. In short, the scroll ball is phenomenal. We couldn't get enough of it and will likely learn to deal with the mouse's shortcomings in order to continue using its scroll ball feature. The scroll ball is soft, smooth, and natural feeling. It's also very responsive, allowing you to scroll line by line, page by page, horizontally, diagonally, or practically in any direction or fashion you wish. Because the scroll ball is so tiny, it allows you to cover more surface area with a single scroll than most scroll-wheel enabled mice. (We're not sure how we'll be able to clean the scroll ball when it becomes dirty, as there appears to be no safe way to open the Mighty Mouse.) We also found the Mighty Mouse's 29-inch USB cord to be adequate, but for most people that will depend on your computer and setup. The fact that Mighty Mouse sports a cord at all -- and is not a Bluetooth wireless mouse -- has already drawn some complaints from Apple enthusiasts. Call us crazy, but we found this to be a positive. more>>>
