The Mighty Mouse has no buttons on the main part, instead it has two motion sensors on either side of the scroll wheel which function as click and right-click. So unless you program the right sensor to be like a normal click(which you can) the old tradition of Ctrl + Click is gone.

Replies BostonDave Posted at 11:21 am on Feb. 18, 2006 I just got a mighty mouse and it rocks. usernyc5553 Posted at 11:23 pm on Jan. 29, 2006 Apple makes a grand entrance with this... They made it seem like they reinvented the wheel.  Sure it isd a nice mouse.  One ofthe best mice on the market.  But people its a mouse!

They also don't ship (standardly) 32 input and 32 output audio devices, but they support them. I don't see why this is an issue. Apple doesn't have to make every periphrial device to support it.   I'm still fine with ctrl-click personally. Ever since my parents got an iMac, I find myself trying to Ctrl+click when on my PC. I don't care so much about the right click, but that scroll ball would rule all kinds of ass.

Actually, the top is a two-sided motion sensor, so technically, it's still a two button mouse. Floating on Raft Posted at 9:10 am on Aug. 20, 2005 I love mine.  I've had it for about a week now.  It's flawless in design.  I programmed the scroll button for Itunes, and the side buttons control Exposé. *drool* TiMmMeE Posted at 4:15 pm on Aug. 7, 2005 It's way overdue, but Apple is genius.  Look at the pure thought that went into that thing.  Mighty Mouse comes out of the box set up like the normal one-button mouse (both left and right clicks register as primary clicks--it's still under the same one "shell" design).  So they can start packaging it with all their Macs and the little old grandmothers that would be so confused with two buttons don't even know anything has changed. But for the "power user," all it needs is a little tweak and you've got your efficient clicking. I love it.  My parents are getting an iMac soon but I'm hesitating until they start packaging the Mighty Mouse with all computers (maybe just until the stock of the regular Pro mice run out).

Bish Posted at 3:17 pm on Aug. 4, 2005 The mouse its alright i don't see the purpose to buy it tho when you could just press the control button to do the same work as you would do with a 2 button click mouse...buts a nice invention for once. mephisto mortis Posted at 12:33 pm on Aug. 4, 2005 Yea this has been in development for some time.  I remember boston dave talking about it before he left.  However I'mvery content with my logitech mouse and don't see the need to get one of those mice until i get a new mac. squirellplayingtag Posted at 9:27 pm on Aug. 3, 2005 That's pretty nice. Much needed upgrade by the way. RyGuy Posted at 8:30 pm on Aug. 3, 2005 Oooo, fancy. Most recent 15 of 21 previous replies displayed.
