Mighty Mouse
From Applepedia
"In the beginning, there was one button. Then there were two." The Mighty Mouse is 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 $49.

Features
- 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
