Mighty Mouse....cant....do it....any...more!!!!

[cu3ed]

Its crap simple as, now doing everything possible to try and clean the pin sized ball, it hasnt been responding right....


sooooo..any reasonably priced options?

Anything with abit more funtionality?

logitech v470 is a good alternative to the mighty mouse.... assuming you want it to be bluetooth.

Better off with a mouse from Logitech or Microsoft, might mouse is rubbish IMO.

second mighty mouse im on and this ones doin the same thing. wont buy another one again

I love the MM, all other mice seem clunky in comparison. Weird how we are all different.

To clean the ball, turn it off or unplug it and then vigorously rub it on a lint free cloth whilst upside down. I find the leg of one's jeans works very well.

The Mighty Mouse needs to die.

Its like using a bar of soap to navigate an OS.

Sucks so much. My Mac Pro cost £1500 odd and comes with a mouse that you couldn't pay someone to take off of your hands.

Awful mouse, one of the only modern stereotype examples left of Apple products trying to look good but being rubbish.

MM sucks. Go for something Logitech and Bluetooth.

Thing is on my Pc I really like the functions the buttons at your thumb gives you, I had mine so i could close windows and flick forward and back web pages, is their anways to get these kinda functions for the Mac?

 

[syke]

I use this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...gitech LX8 Cordless Optical Mouse (910-000325) i like it.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp... MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse (910-000616)

If you don't mind a cable then this is the one I would get, relatively cheap and brilliant to use (had an MX510 for about 3 years now).

MX518 is a great mouse for gaming! I used that and the older model 510 for years ad loved them!
Cant use a MM myself but I love Logitech mice. They seem to be more for people who like to rest their palm on the mouse whereas MS ones are for finger people! Love my MX Revolution!

 

[gumbald]

Ditched the MM for a G5 as soon as I got this iMac. Used to having a G7 on my PC so it felt right.

I'm still using the Logitech MX900 wireless bluetooth. Thinking of picking up another as a spare.

I'm on my second Mighty Mouse (Bluetooth) but the first one was replaced at an Apple Store since even the Genius couldn't get the scroll ball to work again. The only reason I still have this one was because I opened the thing up to actually clean the scroll mechanism properly (it was out of warranty anyway).

That's what you get for putting something at the top of a mouse that 20 odd years ago was taken off the bottom. And you can't even easily clean this one!

I like the mouse in principle, but with the damn scroll ball you're paying £50 to have a mouse that works for about a year.

For all of you having problems with the Mighty Mouse ball:

- Take a soft clothes
- Spray some alcohol on it
- Flip your mouse upside down and quickly roll the ball against the clothes

Should work fine after that. Common Mighty Mouse problem, easily fixable.
