Mighty Mouse

I went to the Apple store the other day, and picked up a Mighty Mouse. I was a bit concerned, because I’d seen a lot of ‘I can’t right click’ and ‘I can’t get the scroll button to work’ complaints online.

Apparently, these people have some issues… because for me.. it works pretty good. And my mousing habits are..a bit different.. then most.. I’m left handed, but, because I spent so much time working on ‘shared’ computers with windoze users at various jobs… I mouse with the left hand, but don’t flip the buttons like most left handed mousers do.

So far (and its only been about 2 days) I’ve got no complaints.. I haven’t installed the software that lets me program the two side buttons.. but I can reliably right click, left click, and scroll left/right and up/down. My only issue? the default sensitivity for the scrolling wasn’t working for me,so I’d end up ‘clicking’ the third button.. a quick trip to the system preference pane cleared that right up though..

Overall.. a good mouse.. you do need to learn not to leave your fingers resting on the buttons, otherwise you will have problems right clicking (this is not a problem for me.. apparently, I don’t leave my fingers resting on the mouse.. since I didn’t have to change how I do anything).

I think everyone should go out and buy one or two.
