ArsTechnica reviews the Apple Mighty Mouse

***Lupine*** · Aug 5, 2005, 12:08 AM

Those of you who are still reeling from the news that Apple will soon be using Intel are about to get another body blow: Apple now has a multi-buttoned mouse!

Read about it here: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/mightymouse.ars

When all is said and done, all of the the Apple PR on the Mighty Mouse product page is a bit much. As a poster in the Mac Ach succinctly observed, "this thing isn't as revolutionary as one may think. It's just nice to have an Apple mouse with a frickin' scroll button and right click."

I don't even like its design tbh

damn, apple is so elitist! not only do they charge a premium for the brand but just look at how they freaking pack their mouse!

It's a waste of money and materials to have all that packing. They should just throw it in a plastic bag and put a zippie tie around the opening.

It's compatable with WinXP.

Dont know if that's common or not since I'm MAc illiterate.

If you read the review you will find out that the tiny dot is indeed a wheel that can be used to scroll vertically and horizontally.
