could've been a decent mouse

This would be a much better mouse if there was an easy way to customize the side buttons separately (instead of having only one "squeeze" function). I also couldn't get the squeeze to work as a back function in my browser without a third-party program.

I didn't mind not having a physical distinction between the left and right button, but I know that bugs some people so it's worth mentioning.

The scroll ball is a nice idea in concept, and works beautifully for the first few weeks -- horizontal scrolling has never been easier. But you'll eventually get some gunk trapped between the ball and the casing and your scrolling experience comes to a complete stop.

It's a decent mouse for a pack-in but power users will likely want to upgrade to something better.

Mighty Mouse,Mighty Fine!

Get a Mighty Mouse it is awesome dude! Really!

I read tons of reviews on the mouse before i tried it they were average about the mouse and higher on the keyboard!
Glad iI listened to me and took the plunge it is terrific, very easy to get the hang of Wow!
And that trackball underneath the index finger is sooooo silky smooth! It does not feel cheaply made to me at all and it is very functual. All I can say is take it from someone whose actually using one and is extremely happy with it.

The Mac Mini, wireless keyboard , and mighty mouse have all been a very pleasant surprise trip that i'm glad I made!

Form Mostly Over Function?

Like others, I recently purchased a 2.5GHz MacBook Pro after being away from the Mac world for a few years. I wanted something that matched the MacBook in function and in form. Unfortunately, I only got three-fourths of what I wanted.

Out of fairness, I'll note the good first.

The Mighty Mouse looks like every other Apple design--minimalist, yet refined. From the top, it could double as a bar of soap due to its milky white oval design. The side buttons sit nearly flush and unnoticeable, and the scrolling ball is neatly recessed. The smooth bottom slides easily on a mouse pad or wooden desk surface. And, because mine is new, the scrolling ball operates flawlessly (though I am wary of dirt--but hoping that the alcohol cleaning cures it). Bluetooth connectivity is perfect--though, from what I've experienced in the short time I've had the MacBook, Apple focuses on simplicity and making things "work." Connectivity, then, is no different. Essentially, it looks good, and for a casual use, is perfect. In other words, 2/2.

That being said, I expect a little more out of Apple.

As others have noted, if you have your pointer finger on the left of the mouse, it is difficult to register a right click (due to the collapsing nature of the click mechanism). To have a flawless right click, you need to life your pointer finger. Of course, left-clicking works well.

The left and right side buttons, which apparently match your thumb and ring fingers, are quite difficult to operate. In the process of squeezing in my thumb, for example, I can't help but compress the mouse itself, which results in a left click. The right side is even more difficult and usually requires the a bit more manipulative force. I'm not sure if Apple made the buttons too stiff or if I am doing something wrong--but, a mouse being a mouse, I cannot imagine that I am making an error in use. Hence, 1/2--for a total of 3/4 of the way there.

All that being said, I hope that over time two things happen: (1) I get used to it and the mechanisms "break in," and (2) that Apple tweaks the design to allow easier operation of the side buttons and right click. While it's "close" to what I expect from Apple, it's not "close enough." I would buy it again, however, because I wanted something Apple, and that's exactly what I received.
