Meet the mouse that reinvented the wheel. The scroll wheel, that is. At $49, Mighty Mouse features the revolutionary Scroll Ball that lets you move anywhere inside a document, without lifting a finger. And with touch-sensitive technology concealed under the seamless top shell, you get the programability of a four-button mouse in a single-button design. Click, roll, squeeze and scroll. This mouse just aced the maze.

Spry and Mighty
In the beginning, there was one button. Then there were two. Then there were clickable scroll wheels and programmable toggles and solid-state slides. But nobody made a mouse as easy to use as your Mac. Until now. Mighty Mouse combines the capability of a multibutton mouse with Apple’s signature top-shell design for the best of both form and function. Use it any way you work: Stick with single-button simplicity or click with multibutton efficiency.


Get Around
Time is round. Space is curved. Why should your mouse be linear? Plenty of applications require you to do more than scroll up and down. Mighty Mouse offers 360-degree scrolling capability, thanks to its Scroll Ball, perfectly positioned to roll smoothly under just one finger. Explore the farthest reaches of your files — pan images in iPhoto, view timelines in iMovie HD and Final Cut Pro, traverse bars in GarageBand and Logic Pro — with one hand tied behind your back (or holding a cup of coffee or typing). Mighty Mouse gives you room to roam.

You’ll Really Click
Touch-sensitive technology under Mighty Mouse’s seamless top shell detect where you’re clicking, transforming your sleek, one-button mouse into a two-button wonder. But the innovation doesn’t end there. Apple engineers added force-sensing buttons on either side of Mighty Mouse that let you squeeze the mouse between your thumb and finger, activating Mac OS X Tiger Dashboard, Exposé or a whole host of other, customizable features — instantly.


The Mouse That Roared
Unlike any other mouse on the market, Mighty Mouse was designed specifically to work with Mac OS X Tiger. Up-to-the minute information on Dashboard is only a click away. Viewing, hiding and selecting your windows via Exposé is just as simple. And because Mac OS X Tiger makes Mighty Mouse programmable, you choose where every click takes you.

Say it aint so...

Mighty Mouse isnt bundled with the any of the desktops so it's lame.

If it aint bundled I'd opt for the mouse below the Logitech MX518.

Well, does the Apple Mouse work with all versions of Windows! well all since 98?
I am sure it would but I think its better to clarify it..
I sure like the way it looks, and it has 2 buttons (right and left clicks), so it could be useful for windows aswell.

BTW I use a laptop, and I hate laptop mouses, they're small and plain stupid. This seems handy, quite compact and useful.

MS has a better funded and schooled email reply team.

I have the original Boomslang... Razer sucks though as at the time their shipping was so slow to Antwerpen that I had to fly back home before it arrived. Good thing though the relatives were kind enough to bring it with them when they flew back a few weeks later.

Mighty Mouse works from 2K to XP. I shudder at the thought of using anything older.

It actually has ZERO buttons. ;) It uses the same sensor technology used in the iPod

I still love my red MX510 and may pick up a Mighty Mouse once it has wireless or when I get a new Powerbook.

Just pick up a $5.00 A4 optical mouse it does the same thing anyway. You save $$$ and no 16 yr old will call you a homo. ;)
