Product Description
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.
Amazon.com Product Description
How do you improve on the mouse that has everything? Remove its tail. Mighty Mouse--the mouse that changed the way you scroll--has gone wireless via fast and secure Bluetooth technology. Now you can take that seamless, touch-sensitive, 360-degree scrolling design with you wherever you go. Like its namesake, Mighty Mouse puts powerful precision in a pint-sized package. With all its clicking capability tucked neatly under the seamless top shell, Mighty Mouse boasts drop-dead good looks and wireless portability, too. And then there?s that ingenious Scroll Ball--the tiniest such mechanism ever used in an input device. No wonder it?s a wonder. 
Scroll, zoom, and more easily. | 
The Mighty Mouse is sleek. View larger. | 
Enjoy precision laser tracking. | Have a Ball
Try reading this web page without scrolling. Every day you navigate through files, email and web pages by scrolling horizontally and vertically. Now you can do it all with your fingertip. Mighty Mouse?s Scroll Ball features miniature sensors that allow you to manipulate what appears on your screen merely by moving your finger. Scroll up and down to read a long web page or document. Scroll back and forth to follow a timeline in iMovie or keep track of a large spreadsheet in Excel. But getting from point A to point B doesn?t always mean traveling in a straight line. Take a spin on the mouse that?s not afraid of kitty-corner. With Mighty Mouse?s Scroll Ball, you can scroll at a 45-degree angle ? even roll in 360-degree sweeps. Pan across a massive digital image in iPhoto or Adobe Photoshop. Take in a whole PDF in Preview. The Scroll Ball moves the content on your screen just as your eyes might move across a printed page. The Scroll Ball acts as an extra mouse button too, offering you one of a few clever clicking options. All-Terrain Mouse
The wireless Mighty Mouse finds its way courtesy of a laser tracking system that boasts 20 times more sensitivity to surface detail than traditional optical tracking engines. So you can glide the wireless Mighty Mouse over more surfaces--metal, wood, plastic, even your denim (or tweed) clad leg. It Squeezes, Not Squeaks
It wouldn?t be fair to call Mighty Mouse a two-button mouse with one button. Especially when it responds to pressure from your fingers in four different places. Besides the left- and right-click functions, the Scroll Ball clicks down to act as a third mouse button. And force-sensing buttons on either side of Mighty Mouse respond when you press in with your finger and thumb. Perfect for Mac OS X users, the side buttons are pre-programmed to activate Expose, so you can view all your windows with a squeeze. Of course, you can also customize Mighty Mouse to open whatever you choose--Spotlight, Dashboard or any application when you have Mac OS X v10.4.6 or later. The Button That Wasn?tAlas the fate of the one-button mouse in today?s multibutton world. Who has time for intuitive, elegant design when there is so much clicking to do? Thanks to a smooth top shell with touch-sensitive technology beneath, Mighty Mouse allows you to right click without a right button. Capacitive sensors under Mighty Mouse?s seamless top shell detect where your fingers are and predict your clicking intentions, so you don?t need two buttons ? just two fingers. Click on the left side to use Mighty Mouse in its simplest, single-button form. Click on the right to access contextual menus within applications and edit, copy, label or download from your mouse. It?s simple sleight of hand. 
The Mighty Mouse offers plenty of functionality. | 
The mouse works with 1 or 2 AA batteries. | More Mouse, Less Mess
Perfectly portable, the wireless Mighty Mouse goes anywhere you do and banishes clutter in its wake. A secure Bluetooth connection keeps you in control from up to 30 feet, and you can forget lugging around a bulky charging dock: the wireless Mighty Mouse works with one or two AA batteries. Two last longer, but one works just as well and packs ultralight. A Mac and Mouse Game
Because Apple engineers designed Mighty Mouse to work in perfect harmony with the operating system, you get the full Mac OS X experience from the comfort of your mouse. Take that Scroll Ball button, for instance. Pre-programmed to launch Dashboard, it gives you access to a world of information in a single click. Mighty Mouse?s side buttons show you all your open windows in Expose with a squeeze. Of course, you can program both of these buttons--along with Mighty Mouse?s right- and left-click functions--to launch Dashboard, Expose, Spotlight, Application Switcher or any application you choose. Mac OS X gives you the capability, thanks to an intuitive System Preference pane. Switch Users, Not Mice
Once you set your Mighty Mouse preferences, your Mac will remember them, even if you share your computer with others. Each account on your Mac has its own preferences, so everyone can use Mighty Mouse differently. Program Mighty Mouse as a simple, single-button mouse for a youngster. Set buttons to launch user-specific apps. Limit application access for children by pre-programming Mighty Mouse and locking System Preferences using parental controls. No matter how they work or play, Mighty Mouse makes everybody happy--all from one Mac. X-Mouse
Mighty Mouse helps you make the most of Mac OS X. Pre-configured to launch Dashboard from the Scroll Ball button and Expose from the side squeeze buttons, Mighty Mouse gives you lots of other options: - Program the Scroll Ball button to launch Application Switcher, then move from one task to another with a scroll.
- Set any button to start a new Spotlight search and find what you?re looking for, fast.
- Change the side buttons from displaying all windows in Expose to displaying only the windows in the current application.
- Launch any application you choose from any button on Mighty Mouse: Just select "other" from the button drop-down menu and browse for applications in the Finder.
- Designate either top-shell button as your primary--the perfect solution for southpaws.
- Activate screen zoom with the keyboard and Scroll Ball.

 Don't Buy November 4, 2008
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.
 Great Mouse But Slow On Movement due to weight of mouse October 30, 2008
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.
Horrible and Frustrating! October 25, 2008
"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!"
 Another amazing product from Apple September 20, 2008
This mouse is great. The one I got was shipped without a manual, startup disk, or anything else. It was just the mouse in a shipping box. It was so easy to use I didn't even need any of those things. I put the batteries in and my powerbook found the mouse via bluetooth and I was up and running. Amazing. A must have for anyone using a laptop that gets annoyed using the trackpad.
Brilliant... until it breaks August 7, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Apple Mighty mouse (in both USB and wireless formats) is a worthy contender for the best mouse ever made. In particular, its tiny hyper-sensitive vertical & horizontal scroll button genuinely speeds up on-screen "productivity" to a level that, once you've got used to it, nothing else will do. Brilliant, that is until the scroll button stops working which in my case is about every 9 to 12 months. Bad news then... well yes, no piece of kit should do this, but right or wrong that's the way it is and when it happens I happily shell-out for a new one because it's that good to use. Look on it as the world's best disposable mouse and you won't be disappointed...
