"In the beginning, there was one button. Then there were two." The Wireless Mighty Mouse is the Bluetooth-equipped version of Apple's first right-click enabled mouse. Click is a relative term, as this mouse doesn't actually use buttons, it instead uses touch-sensitive technology for a total of four "clicking" inputs. The mouse also employs a scroll ball for full scrolling along both the x and y axis. The introductory price is $69.

Features

  • Laser tracking instead the wired Mighty Mouse's optical.
  • Bluetooth version is 2.0.
  • Bluetooth range up to 30 feet.
  • Runs on 2 AA batteries.
  • One button, two touch-sensitive areas.
  • Squeeze sensors on the sides
  • 360-degrees scroll ball, with click functionality
  • PC-compatible
  • Contains a built in speaker that provides audio cues when clicking.

Reactions

  • This may be even more confusing than a two-button mouse, since now you can't even see that it's actually two buttons.
  • Lacking tactile feedback
  • Possibly not programmable in Windows
  • Resting a finger on the left 'button' often causes it to register right clicks as left clicks.
  • Pretty darn cool for low impact mousing like MS-Word or Safari, but worthless for twitch FPS games
