I'm thinking about buying of these logitech keyboard mouse wireless combos. I am sick to death of the scroll ball on this thing. What a USELESS piece of crap this things has turned out to be.
Anyone got anything to report on the logitech one. I'm not too happy about the dongle thing, but if it works them it'll be worth it. Is it bluetooth or wi-fi?
I'm kind of new here, but I urgently need your help. I am looking for a mouse that can, at least, compete with my Mac's trackpad. I've heard that you can customize a mouse buttons to do a specific function- ie MX or VX nano, but I don't know if that will really work for me. I love the trackpad because of its 4-finger swipe, I would like to know if I can customize any mouse to do that.... Thanks a lot.

I must have that one!!
This is one of the things that has not been thought through enough with a MBP,
theres no USB on the right side, rendering the wired mighty-mouse's wire to short.
MAgic mouse, called so probably because if it works, it'll probably actually BE magic!
I am sick to death of this stupid scroll ball. For weeks it has been scrolling down but not up, and when I try to scroll up it always ends up throwing up the dash board because it sticks, so I went downstairs and took a damp cloth and scrubbed the crap out of it!

hello all I just got the magic mouse today and love it the scroll works as advertised so nice to move finger and it scrolls the page only trouble I have -a personal one is I think I'm using my versa from verizon and want to flick my finger which results to being at bottom of page and not where I wanted like I said operator trouble no fault with said mouse get one or just go to apple store in your area and play with it they are being used exclusively here in desert southwest stores. mystified
FedEx just dropped off my magic mouse. Interesting as the packaging did not include the ubiquitous white box. Mouse was inside an oval plastic case surrounded by solid packing foam. They must be pushing these out before they are totally boxed. Up I also like that there was less wasteful packaging than I've seen Apple use in the past.
Like some others have said in different threads, there seem to be a slight lag when scrolling up/down - but I assume I'll get used to it.
I bought my Magic Mouse from the store. Not Apple one as there is none in my State. It was another store. I saw the guy as he was putting them out on the shelf and got one. And the only issue I had with it was not downloading the right driver for it. It took a while to find the one for 10.6.1 on the Apple site.
But apart from that it works fine. Scrolling and the 2 finger swipe all work fine. When set up properly. And yes you can not right and left click on it at the same time, but I have never needed to do both at the same time.
So it's like the old mighty mouse with all the scrolling features without the bad scroll nipple. So thumbs up for me. I like it. A little pricey but worth it I think.
Oh sure, the little scroll ball works magic when you first get it. But after a while it gets clogged with dirt, so you have to clean it with a damp cloth. I'm at the stage where I have to clean it practically every day to to get any sort of response from it, and by clean I might literally scrubbing the heck out of it for a few minutes.
Scrolling down tends to be more reliable, but because it's dirty inside and sticks more whenever I try to scroll up the force I have to use ends up causing me to click the mouse button in unison, which then causes the dashboard to appear all the time!
80 euro for a mouse that partially stops working after about 6 months. Great.
I thought the world had learned from and moved on from scroll ball technology in mice?
Why don't they just use a darn scroll wheel!

Don't know if this has been mentioned in here before, but I've found a great way to really clean the ball in the Mighty Mouse.
Basically, I was unable to scroll down with the mouse for a few weeks and decided to clean it out. I tried the paper trick doing figures of eights for a few moments etc to no avail. Then I thought I'd try some blu-tac. Wow! It's like its brand new again.
So if you've got a scrolling problem with your MM grab a little bit of blu-tac, flatten it out and do some scrolling on it!
Hi - not sure how to use this, but have bought a mighty mouse, and on my previous Apple wireless mouse, you could squeeze the two buttons on the side to switch between applications - can you do this with the mighty mouse ?
