 Scroll wheel not well designed November 3, 2008
The mouse itself works well, and the extra buttons are well integrated with Mac OS features (exposé, etc) but the scroll wheel is not well designed: after a few weeks of use it stops working and requires very complex cleaning. I have had two different models of Mighty Mouse (both wired and wireless) and both had the same problem.
Apple needs to fix the design of the scroll wheel so that it does not require constant cleaning.
 Great Looking Mouse! October 15, 2008

This mouse was easy to setup and use, but it took getting used to. It may also be a problem if your hands are too large. Overall, great design and looks, but not so great ergonomics if you have big hands.

If you like a nice looking, state of the art attempt at tomorrows technology get the Mighty Mouse. However, a word of caution: Leave it in the box it came in. Using it will only results in early termination.
No matter how clean your working environment is, the ball will clutter up, the seamless body creates an over sensitive contact with the right button. The side buttons are a rigid part of the lower frame. You have to apply excessive force to make them function. And any over force, above a feather touch will quickly damage the sensitive left/right contacts.
The multidirectional ball was almost a nice feature. While navigating up and down, it will also shift forward and back through pages, unexpectedly!
APPLE should have this thing recalled! They are way too expensive and it needs refining before they deceive another faithful customer.
The track ball will fail September 30, 2008

The track ball on the top of the mouse will fail; read the other reviews, it's just a matter of time. What makes it doubly disappointing is that the mouse is so expensive when compared to the price of other mouses that are Mac compatible.

I recently purchased my second wireless Mighty Mouse -- this one for my desktop system, a Dual-G5 PowerMac -- when my Logitech S530 mouse died an early death. My first wireless Mighty Mouse was purchased for my MacBook Pro.
Initially, I replaced the failed Logitech mouse for the desktop with the tailed version of the Mighty Mouse (review posted on Amazon), which did not work out for me. (Details in my other review.) So, based on my positive experience with a wireless Mighty Mouse and my MacBook Pro, I purchased one for my desktop. This review is based on both those experiences.
First, this is a good-looking device. Like all Apple products, they spend resources on producing a visual impact with their hardware. The cool-factor is there.
The function of the mouse is very good. It has four buttons, although they are not apparent. The two primaries are activated by "leaning" the mouse to the left or right. It sounds more complicated than it is and don't let that intimidate you. The third button is under the scroll-ball. The fourth is activated by squeezing the sides of the mouse.
Bluetooth pairing with the desktop Mac was trivial. Turn it, tell the system to find the mouse, and pair it.
I turned off the third and fourth buttons because I never use them. I use the scroll-ball a lot, though, and generally like the way it functions. I'll have to check with my MBP mouse, but the desktop mouse requires a little pressure on the scroll-ball to obtain full activation of the scrolling feature. This isn't an issue for me, but it might be for those who use the third button as well. (I may have a defective unit -- but it doesn't matter because I don't use that third button.)
Cursor tracking is good and I have the sensitivity turned up pretty high. I also have the double-click sensitivity turned up high. I'm a fast-clicker and don't need much time to get there.
My only reservation about this mouse is when playing games. If your game uses the right mouse button to perform some action (like navigating in WoW), then you may find you sometimes don't get what you're expecting. This happens to me sometimes when I think I've turned (the camera angle changed) but I actually activated the left button and not the right. So, if I move forward, I swing back in the original direction and move that way. This is probably attributable to user error (or as a friend sometimes tells me, SUE -- stupid user error! :) but it is something to be aware of.
Overall, though, I really like the way this mouses works. The looks are lagniappe.
