A few quick thoughts on the Wireless Mighty Mouse:

  • Buy it if you don't care about your mouse cursor moving smoothly.
  • Buy it if you don't care that they still force you to lift your left finger off the mouse when right clicking.
  • Buy it if you don't mind paying $70 for it.
  • Buy it if you don't mind paying at least $12 more for better mouse driver software to at least make it a little smoother (I've linked to SteerMouse because USB Overdrive, which I prefer, doesn't yet support the Wireless Mighty Mouse).

Or, if you're like me, buy it because you're on an endless quest to find the "perfect mouse." Then, after a few hours of trying to force yourself to like it, realize that that $30 Logitech wireless mouse you bought is actually pretty great, aside from the fact that it has a USB dongle with 2.4GHz wireless instead of Bluetooth. But then realize that it actually works, and it's smooth, and it's half the price.

I wanted the Wireless Mighty Mouse to be good. I really did.
