I picked up a Mighty Mouse today, all psyched to have matching gear (laptop, monitor, keyboard) and those cool buttons to bring up Exposé. A few minutes use makes it clear: I hate this mouse.
While Apple pitches it as a two button mouse, it is in fact still the traditional one-button, front-end smasher mouse with new sensors to detect which finger actually caused the aforementioned front-end smash down. To say the feel of this mouse is awkward is an understatement. My instinct with this mouse is to always use my whole hand to press down the mouse. Any attempt to use it in a mouse-button type of way proves uncomfortable. The mouse is also very light-weight, which makes it feel cheap. The textile feedback of the scroll-dot feels like nails on a chalkboard, and the mouse is too small for my hands. That’s saying something, because I have really small hands for a man. Finally, the side-buttons are so hard to press they’re useless.
In short (too late), this mouse is going back to the store. Avoid it.
