«Mighty High Price...»
I use Apples at school for video editing, and every single one of them has this waste of plastic tethered to them.
First, this is essentially a one button mouse, despite it being described as "multibutton." The right button function is nonexistent, and the side buttons only work when I over-grip the mouse tight enough, but of course not when I actually want them to work.
The scroll button is prohibitively small, and I have yet to find one that works properly except when brand new. At best, most only seem to scroll up - frustrating, considering I tend scroll down more than in any other direction.
The cord is too short and very thin. Yes, it is designed to be plugged into the keyboard, but it is still a poor design, as if they were trying to save a few cents on wire or something, rather than just manufacture a normal length of cord.
All this for $50! You end up paying for looks as well as a daily lesson in keyboard shortcuts just to avoid using it. Why don't they just reverse engineer one of Microsoft's models that sell for half the price, even if they do not look as hip, but at least actually work?

«As per other reviews: terrible»
I've been using these mighty mice since they came out and I'm finally saying enough! The trackball has to be cleaned constantly or it jams up with the only method of cleaning it some arcane process of finding a fibre-free cloth and 'ethanol.' I've been using iKlear and a clean sheet of paper. But this is insane! A mouse shouldn't be this much labour. I don't have a problem with the various functions it has though. I disabled the side clicking function because I would always inadvertently squeeze the mouse and set off whatever I had programmed. Overall, a very disappointing product from the best in computer manufacturing and design.

«Apple Mighty mouse»
This mouse is great, it enables you to choose the commands for the 4 buttons and the wheel. It works perfectly well. It's a little pricy, as every apple product, but it's definitely worth it!
