Hi Phil, I'm afraid I can't answer your coffee question, but the ball button on the MM goes not only up and down, but left and right too, when it's new anyway. Mine now mostly only goes up but if I clean it very vigorously it will start working as it's supposed to for about 2 days and then it 'breaks' again.
As regards the other issues, check the settings in System Preferences > Mouse, perhaps you have either or both of the left/right side buttons set to launch Spaces. I was always accidentally pressing them so I've just set them both to Primary Button. If you want to have a think about a Magic Trackpad these videos will give you a good insight and probably an answer to your question: http://mattgemmell.com/2010/07/28/magic-trackpad I'd love one :-) Cheers, Stephen On 23 Aug 2010, at 17:36, Phil Tomlinson wrote: > I'd be interested to know other people's views of the "Mighty Mouse".
