Summary: why!
Comment: I have to take this mouse to the apple store every couple of months to get it cleaned out. I've had to replace it once already because the genius bar guys couldn't fix it (thank goodness for apple care!).
When it works, this is a really good mouse, but it clogs far too easily, making scrolling up and down (sometimes side-to-side as well) very very hard, sometimes you can't do it at all.
I'm taking it to get cleaned yet again, because it's once more failed to keep clean. It doesn't seem to matter how hard you try, it just wont keep clean!
However, it does have good features, like being able to bring up the calander, calculator, weather and clock just by pressing down the scroll ball.
It's a good shape for a mouse though, easy to use despite it's faults.

Summary: FRUSTRATING
Comment: Yeah yeah yeah, there's the fancy window changing buttons on the side and of course the handy side scrolling... But it's so sensitive and has a mind of it's own!
If like me, you've bought an iMac for editing audio on logic and video on FCP, this mouse will drive you NUTS! It constantly sticks and the cursor has fits and heart attacks on screen, especially when you're doing very precise editing. It picks the moments where you need the most precision and concentration and THEN decides to fly off somewhere else and click something random. This is enraging when doing destructive editing as it can ruin everything and replace a creative flow with nothing but frustration and anger as you've just opened up some random program. I can't count the times that I have engaged the simple process of dragging a file across to another location (eg audio editing - dragging and scrolling out audio/video files) and editing length and position precisely to a point and this mouse fits around for a second and then flies off and puts it somewhere really annoying.
VERY ANTI-PRODUCTIVE
STEER CLEAR!!!

Summary: Meh.
Comment: My mouse came with my brand new swanky iMac that I bought last March. Unfortunately over the past 6 months, the scroll wheel has got progressively worse. After frantically rubbing on the scroll-wheel with my sleeve hundreds of times to try to get it to work, it just doesn't work anymore.
Side scrolling still works perfectly, but general up and down scrolling does not. I'm currently looking at this product on Amazon thinking that I need to replace it, but at this price, there is no way I'm going to since it's very much likely to break in the same way all over again.

Summary: Okay for a month or so.
Comment: Okay, the mighty mouse looks pretty neat next to your mac, all matching, but in reality- don't bother. It's okay for a while with it's one button, but the roller is terrible. I started having problems after just a few months and it became progressively worse over the following month- sometimes the roller not working, sometimes flitting on and off, and the button occasionally sticking despite following advice to clean it, leaving me frustrated with it. Also found after a few months, I had problems using my mouse due to comfort- the size and shape really isn't fit to use for long computing sessions and personally, I don't think it's particularly ergonomic. After only owning it for five months, I've bought another- a Logitech wireless mouse. Found this considerably better than the mighty mouse, haven't had any problems since purchase. Would advise any Mac owner to do the same.

Summary: Total Rubbish
Comment: I was so excited when I purchased an imac. Then the mouse failed and then the replacement too. Great concept, simple design, total rubbish.
