Mighty Mouse Review

I bought a Mighty Mouse on Friday. It took a day to get use to it, and now I like it very much. The small ball gives you a feeling of precise control that I didn’t feel with a big scroll wheel.

My previous mouse was a basic Logitech 2 button with a scroll wheel. The Mighty Mouse adds another button (the side buttons). This is great for popping up Dashboard.

The software just replaces the Mouse and Keyboard pref pane. Painless install, and works as expected.

For $49 it’s fairly cheap. I don’t mind that it’s not wireless. My previous mouse wasn’t wireless and I never had problems. The cord always stays out of the way, so I really don’t see any advantage to wireless. I don’t want to deal with batteries or charging a wireless mouse.

My recommendation: Buy it!
