-- Posted by Anonymous at 11:56 am on Aug. 3, 2005 For those who care, primarily those who are not part of the great uneducated about Mac, it's true. 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.

I think I'll just wait till microsoft/logitech (whatever company) comes out with their copy :P -- Posted by imitasian at 12:08 pm on Aug. 3, 2005 apple always makes the cool innovations, so meh.  no surprise -- Posted by TheUnrealSlimShady at 12:11 pm on Aug. 3, 2005 Quote: from luxy at 12:02 pm on Aug. 3, 2005 yeah, apple emailed me. Haha, me too. The subject: "Introducing the mouse that roars" really caught my attention, though I just thought it was another new feature for Tiger at first. -- Posted by RyGuy at 8:30 pm on Aug. 3, 2005 Oooo, fancy. -- Posted by squirellplayingtag at 9:27 pm on Aug. 3, 2005 That's pretty nice. Much needed upgrade by the way. -- Posted by mephisto mortis 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. -- Posted by Bish 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. -- Posted by Macropiper at 4:32 pm on Aug. 4, 2005 Hmm, I like the idea of the scroll ball, and it seems more like a 4 button mouse, it has side buttons, but I prefer my microsoft mouse. -- Posted by TiMmMeE 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).

Actually, the top is a two-sided motion sensor, so technically, it's still a two button mouse. -- Posted by mrfri3drice at 4:40 pm on Aug. 23, 2005 ill stick with my mouse -- Posted by mrfri3drice at 7:04 pm on Sep. 30, 2005 its hard to get used to it -- Posted by TheUnrealSlimShady at 3:53 pm on Oct. 1, 2005 Quote: from mrfri3drice at 7:04 pm on Sep. 30, 2005 its hard to get used to it You have one? -- Posted by BostonDave at 10:49 am on Jan. 26, 2006 Apple programs (except Shake) don't require a 2+ button mouse, so why ship one? Apple has always supported multi-button mice, but you don't NEED one so they don't ship them. 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. -- Posted by TiMmMeE at 12:31 pm on Jan. 28, 2006 Quote: from BostonDave at 7:49 pm on Jan. 26, 2006 Apple programs (except Shake) don't require a 2+ button mouse, so why ship one?   Apple has always supported multi-button mice, but you don't NEED one so they don't ship them.

I don't care so much about the right click, but that scroll ball would rule all kinds of ass. -- Posted by usernyc5553 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! -- Posted by BostonDave at 11:21 am on Feb. 18, 2006 I just got a mighty mouse and it rocks.
