apple mighty mouse
February 23, 2008
Been using one for almost 4 months now. Hate it deep, hate it true. Scroll wheel is super flaky (as in, randomly doesn’t work). Eats batteries like there’s no tomorrow. Thumbs down on this puppy.

You know, I think I’m the only person in the world who actually likes the m&m — I have a bluetooth instance (the one I carry around) and a USB instance (at the office).
I will say that if the scroll wheel cruds up, you have to clean it using a very strange tactic, which I would happily demonstrate if prompted. This crudding-up happens to the bluetooth one all the time, probably because it spends most of its time loose in my bag.
Oh yeah, I should have prefaced my comment with a friendly, midwestern-type HOWDY NEIGHBOR.
My apologies, profusely.
Got rid of it. ;) Spent my money to buy a Microsoft-Bluetooth-Mouse. Using it together with my Macbook now. Sometimes things like that happen. ;)
Scroll wheel gets “grimey”. turn it upside down on a piece of plain paper and roll it around while applying light pressure. I’ve been using a BT MM with my Macbook Pro for over a year and a Wired MM on my desktop Mac for even longer. I have to clean them in that fashion about every month or so, but just takes minute.
I love the Mighty Mouse (except for his cape). I’ve got one with a tail on my Al PowerBook, a Bluetooth one on the family iMac, and a Bluetooth one on my MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro is my work machine, so that mouse goes all over the place. I haven’t had any problems with any of them.
