Reviews for Apple Mouse

I find this mouse unreliable in just 1 MONTH the scroll stopped working up and down.
I fixed it as good as new by rubbing the roller ball quite hard up and down and in a circular mothion for a good couple of minutes with a cloth and some cleaning fluid and its now working again. I do think the design is un reliable though! Ive had problems with the mouse getting stuck so I cant click and I find the spaces feature helpful but also irritating at the same time as it seems to go to spaces even when I havnt touched the sides.
Ive never owned a mac mouse that hasnt broke. This one came with my new mac but I have a feeling its not going to last long.

I really wanted to like this mouse. Came with my new iMac along with the new silver flat keyboard (which is amazing) and I gave it a try. I probably used it longer then I would another mouse just because I liked the way it looked and wanted to to be for me. But alas, this mouse is not very user-friendly. The scroll wheel is nice in theory, but in reality it is too small and too sensitive. Having only a single click that registers which finger is being used and then appropriately respondes with a left or right click just doesn't work. Too often I have my right finger still slightly resting on the mouse and it doesn't register my left click, which gets really frusturating when working Excel.

I really hate this mouse. I strongly prefer the pro mouse that came before because it was quite simple to use. The left and right clicking needs to be enabled in system preferences, leaving new Mac users crying for left/right clicking off the bat. Sorry Apple, this mouse was a failure.

I really want to like this mouse. I have two major gripes with this mouse. The scroll ball stops working for me only when scrolling down. I can clean it with an alcohol pad and it's ok for a few days, but it doesn't stay working for very long. Rumor has it that if you keep your hands clean, you won't have any problems! Good luck! The second problem for me is the side buttons. This is just not a good design for editing photos in Photoshop (at least for me.) By default these buttons activate Exposé. They are on the sensitive side so quite often when I am working on a picture I must lightly squeeze the buttons and the windows explode. The work around to this is to just turn the buttons off. The problem is, I do like them occasionally, just not in Photoshop! I guess the real solution for me is to get a Wacom tablet, but I would like a mouse that wasn't so much trouble!

At first, I loved the mouse.
Now, not so much.

1) The cord has gotten stiff and always has twists in it. How it gets twisted, I have no idea as it remains on its mousepad.

2) The left click works. Too well. As it also counts as a left click even if I use the right button. I have to click very far on the right, nearly at the underside to register as a right click.

3) Scroll ball works for up and across, but down, not so much. Yes I have tried cleaning it via the methods described but they only work for a few minutes. Like now; just before I started writing this review I cleaned the scroll ball and already it has stopped being able to scroll down. I really hate having to always scroll down via the page markers on the right instead of using the mouse.

It's either time for a new mouse or prozac. :P

This is a fantastically designed mouse. Potentially, this mouse operates like a dream. I purchased the magic mouse and got rid of it because my macpro had to be within 20 inches for it to work properly so I went back to this mouse. It worked for a short time until the ball got dirty. Then I had about a month of intermittent function. After that month the mouse was useless so I ponies up the $50 for another one. Now THIS ONE is going bad on me. I wouldn't be so upset it's just $50 is no joke! That's alot of money for a freaking mouse Apple. And I do not keep a dirty workplace. REGULAR wear gives this mouse a 1 year maximum shelf life. Terrible.

great product but ....THE SCROLLER DOESNT WORK AFTER A WEEK!!! so dont buy it.But i am getting the new magic mouse

I'm about to replace my second Mighty Mouse, in under two years. I've never had to replace a mouse as often as this one. But I really like it's feel, and form, so I bite the bullet.

I love the flexibility of this mouse but the scroll wheel has failed over and over. I tried cleaning it and that works for a short time but now it has finally completely failed. Too bad because I really like this mouse but without the scroll feature, it's useless.

Alcohol does help some when cleaning the mouse button.

My main complaint is that I use this with an Apple MacBook and it has to run behind or under the iLap to be usable. The cord is simply TOO SHORT !! Where the cord meets up with the mouse itself it is breaking and also where the cord meets up with the usb plug it is doing the same. Reason why? The cord is about 5-6 inches too short. This should be corrected with future designs for the Apple Mouse. Has anyone else not discovered this problem? It is huge. I would rather deal with an irritating mouse button than to have my mouse wire coming apart because of the bend just to get it to be usable due to the shortness of the cord.
