From the first day I switched, I started looking for the perfect mouse to match the cosmetic look of my Mac. I knew after my first experience with the Mighty Mouse that I would have a difficult time using it. The issues with the Mighty Mouse however, proved not to be enough to hold me back from purchasing. But for some people it may be nearly impossible to use.
The root of the problem is simply that it is not a true "two-button mouse." For some people this will mean nothing more than changes in their computing habits. Most noticeably, in order to right click with the mouse your left finger must be lifted completely up off of it. It could be that this issue is fixable with a simple software update from Apple or a hack, or it may be unchangeable do to the hardware. This annoyed me greatly, but after a few hours of regular use I found myself adjusting.
If you are a gamer this will probably stop you from purchasing it altogether. Why? As an example, imagine yourself playing a First Person Shooter. As in most games you are holding down the right button to zoom in on your target, you finally have it in perfect view and you left click to fire. What happens? Nothing. You have to exit the zoom by lifting your finger off the right button before you can make use of the left one. Personally that isn't an issue for me, but I'm sure many Mac gamers that would never be able to switch for that reason alone.
Before using the Mighty Mouse I was using a standard Logitech Optical USB Mouse. Using the Mighty Mouse makes everyday computing feel much more eloquent than using a third party device. The scroll ball undeniably has a much smoother feel than your average scroll wheel, thus adding to your browsing experience. The four customizable buttons are fantastic, but it would have been nice to be able to set the middle button and side buttons too handle primary and secondary clicks.
Whether or not the Mighty Mouse is a good mouse for you, depends on what you do on a daily basis and if you are willing to make those habitual changes to your clicking. I would however not base my experience with the Mighty Mouse only by using it in the store, as after I brought it home I found myself enjoying it a lot more. But the truth is that at USD $49.00 for the wired version and $69.00 for the wireless, you may feel completely unfulfilled as the mouse does not make its own gravy. I can't give it anymore than three stars whole-heartedly.
