Reviews for Apple Mouse

In typical Apple fashion the product is overpriced, over-designed and under-engineered. Scroll ball gets dirty and does not work. When set up with right click enabled the mouse has a hard time determining whether your click is right or left. Works fine for a few months then becomes a pain.

Have had 2 mouses in the past 2 years because after a few months the scroll ball stops working. With averge use (i.e. no excessive or rough handling) and not being used by a young child, it just stops working. The rest of the mouse works great but considering most web pages are longer than a screen and requires scrolling up/down, it's very frustrating to have to use the scroll bar on the browser. Considering the Apple mouse isn't cheap, I wish Apple would fix the issue or at least offer free replacement after repeated breakdowns.

I've had my mac for about 3 years. The mouse started acting up about 1 yr ago. The button on top was not working properly. It helped to roll it on a piece of paper, which was a tip suggested on line, but eventually this didn't help. I'm not impressed with this apple product. When you buy Apple, I'd like to think you'd get better quality, especially for the price.

I love this mouse for one reason, it's ergonomically perfect for my hand and I don't have carpal tunnel symptoms anymore after using this mouse for 7 months. But that's the only reason I gave it two stars. I have been having trouble with the scrollball since within about a month of owning it and it's a real pain when you can't get the ball to work. I do work on my computer that requires a scrollball to save time and my hand and this mouse just isn't cutting it! I wish they'd have a recall on these and replace it with one that works well for the life of the mouse.

It is a sleek mouse with a comfortable design but incredibly unreliable. Not only does it stutter on many surfaces (the cursor jumps across the screen), the underside is also incredibly prone to scratches.

Worst of all, the scroll wheel. It stops working oh so often. Before anyone points out user fault, I have NEVER dropped or hit the mouse against anything hard. The wheel just stops working and refuses to scroll in one or more direction, after 'persuasive methods' it comes back.

It looks good, but that's about it. Track ball often stops working after a couple months of use, probably dirt clogs it up. The slim profile is brutal for power users and your wrist will cramp up. The right click feature is a pain and you will often click it without intention, better to use as a one button mouse. I like my mighty mouse beside my mac because it matches the keyboard, but truthfully it's a real let down as a production tool. This is one apple product that you will want to replace.

It was very good for a while, but then it got dirty very easily. Easy, but annoying to clean. Something got in the scroll ball, though, so now I can't scroll down....

My mouse is about 2 years old, and the scroll ball has officially died. I've been cleaning the mouse religiously, even taking care to clean the ball with a q-tip, but I guess it didn't make a difference. As other reviewers have mentioned, once dust/dirt gets inside the scroll ball area, it's doomed.

worked great for 5 months. then the tracking ball stopped working.

big disappointment

Absolute Great Concept but it falls immediately on practicality...

it needs weekly Scroll cleaning, otherwise it will stuck!

this is the first time I've experienced a mouse that requires cleaning (I mean for crying out loud who has the time!)
