Okay, I know how the "tilt (steering) wheel" works on my car...what is a "tilt wheel" on a mouse? Does it tilt to one side or the other to create more button options? Or to scroll to the left or right? 'Splain, please.

Yes, and it's getting along great with my Mac.

If Apple would just learn how to make a bloody mouse, I wouldn't have had to come to this.

I can see it now - you standing up at the meeting of the Microsoft Anonymous Association and saying: "Hi my name is derek mcnelly and I am a Microsoft mouse user!"

Oh, i have a variation of that mouse!
It's not wireless.
I only use it when my wireless runs out of batteries.

Hope you like microsoft mice....I don't!
The scroll wheel is VERY dirty. Had it for about 8 months.

My GOOD mouse is from wal-mart.

Durabrand. Cheap, yet so great. Just wish I had some rechargeable AAAs.
It's SO solid. Not plastic-y at all.
For only $19.99.

Imo, as long as it works then its worth the money. That is probably why he payed for it.
You should have just slapped one of those apple stickers on top of it, then everyone would have been speechless

I've only had my MB and wireless Mighty Mouse for about a week.......but I really don't understand why people don't like the Mouse? Am I liking it only because I haven't had any problems with it?

I, for one, do like any mouse. I have used a tracker ball for years.

Congratulations. Im thinking of getting a logitech revolution. Anyone got one, and your thoughts on it ?

MDCjr · MDCjr #14 (**permalink**)

I used the revolution for a about a week, but returned it after a friend brought up a valid point on devices that use their own rechargeable battery. Eventually, the batteries life will dwindle and then you have to bare the pain of ordering and waiting for a new one. So i swapped it for the Log vx nano. Which has to be one of the best mice i have ever owned. I travel a lot, so it seems more practical.
