I'm addicted to my mighty mouse. (I didn't seek it out; it came with a new computer.) I've been using the mighty mouse for a couple of months now, and from the moment I set my hand on it, the scroll ball felt like the most natural thing in the world. Before I started using the mighty mouse I thought the scroll ball was just a different kind of scroll wheel, so I was quite pleasantly surprised learn that the mighty mouse's scroll ball is 2-D. I was further pleasantly surprised to learn that the mighty mouse is a multi-button mouse. (The top buttons share a single mechanical click mechanism but the mouse senses which position your fingers are pushing; there's another button which is activated with a squeezing action on the sides--I don't use that side button very often.) I generally dislike apple mice because the entire mouse body moves when you click, and I sometimes have a hard time double-clicking without accidentally moving the mouse. When I got this computer I intended to replace the mighty mouse with a trusty logitec mouse. But after using the scroll ball for a day or two, I couldn't give it up.
