Mighty Mouse Review
I must admit it: Even though I mentioned that I would only buy a Mighty Mouse if Apple released a bluetooth version, I couldn’t resist any longer — so I finally bought the USB version. Here are my first impressions.
No Bluetooth
When Apple released the new Mighty Mouse back in August I had quite ambivalent feelings. On the one hand I was really excited, on the other hand I was wondering why Apple didn’t release a bluetooth version.
I currently use Apple’s bluetooth keyboard as well as the bluetooth mouse — and since I’m extremely satisfied, I could not imagine switiching back to a cable mouse. Well you might call me peculiar or whatever, but I don’t want all those cables on my desk. But since I still used a normal Apple USB keyboard and mouse in my office, I decided to buy the USB edition for my office.
First impression
I’ve read several mixed reviews, claiming that Apple’s new mouse is not a great success, claiming that it’s not possible to right click without lifting the left finger. Well that’s true — but funnily enough this is exactly the way I used all of my mice within the last 15 years. So I didn’t have to get accustomed to it.

The track ball feels very nipple like ;) Vertical scrolling is a pleasure, horizontal scrolling… well I think I will get used to it. Marginal note: it is not possible to scroll horizontally in Firefox — instead you can navigate the history.
Résumé
The only drawback are the force-sensing buttons on either side of Mighty Mouse, because you have to press really strong in order to make the mouse respond. But all in all I am satisfied and I will probably also buy the bluetooth edition, as soon as it is available.
