The Mighty Mouse combines the capability of a multibutton mouse with Apple's signature top-shell design for both form and function. Mighty Mouse's Scroll Ball features miniature sensors that allow you to manipulate what appears on your screen merely by moving your finger. The 360-degrees scrolling perfectly positions to roll smoothly under just one finger. Touch-sensitive technology under Mighty Mouse's seamless top shell detect where you're clicking, transforming your sleek, one-button mouse into a two-button wonder. Pan images in iPhoto, view timelines in iMovie HD and Final Cut Pro, traverse bars in GarageBand and Logic Pro while sipping your morning cup of coffee or typing. Pre-programmed to launch Dashboard, Mighty Mouse's side buttons show you all your open windows in Expose with a squeeze. Mac OS X gives you the capability to choose any application from the intuitive System Preference pane.

Works very well, good ergonomics (at least for me)
I like the mouse - I have it configured as a three-button-mouse and use the scroll ball all the time. It is accurate, fits my hands well, and hasn't let me down yet (the track ball get clogged up somtimes, but so far I've always been able to get it working again by using a moist towel and rubbing the track ball back and forth really hard - it gets unclogged relatively easily that way). If it does byte the dust (mice do after some time), I will not hesitate to order another one (well, I have three already...)

excellent design serves function without fluff
Contrary to popular cut-and-paste 'witticisms', this mouse is designed on a function-leading-form logic.

<br />Can't find fault in this mouse, although the wireless version is a worthless and heavy device to be avoided at all costs. I use this thing all day long, every day, working with adobe products. I prefer it to 'ergonomic' designs that only allow your hand to be in one grip position. With this mouse, you can finesse it with different grips, and it weighs less - nice when brushing or moving things around rapidly.
<br />
<br />When used with Apple's mouse control panel, you can customize or disable buttons to suit your needs. This is where most complaints are coming from - you can have two-click or one-click, and you have to know which one you are using as well as any other functions. The best thing is to turn everything off for the first day or so, then add the other functions slowly.
<br />
<br />Final note: this mouse has teflon sliders on the bottom. The optical sensor is very sensitive. Try it out on different smooth materials. If it likes the surface, you have a great mousepad. It's best for your wrist if you get the hardest, slickest surface possible - even the actual surface of the desk will work in some cases. Once you get used to sliding this mouse around on a slick surface, you'll get in tune with an effortless way to mouse.
