Well sweet, but... i dunno. That stupid internal speaker will suck the battery.

I'm on wires since 5 months now and I don't like wireless because of battery issues, but wireless is so much cleaner... gah i can't decide.

Thats cool, the one thing I dont like about the mighty mouse is that the scroll ball is way to small for my hands. If they could make that bigger and fix the side buttons, I think it would be a really good mouse, but having it wireless sure helps.

I've been wanting one of these since the Mighty Mouse came out. If it's real I'm very excited.

Tease!

I thought it was a real product available now. The wireless mouse is beautiful, and I could not ask for a better looking desktop (bluetooth iPod would be ideal) but as a switcher, I am used to doing so much without having to touch the keyboard. CTRL-click works, but I would love to have a context button on my one button mouse.

I cannot understand why they do not just have to seperate buttons like the Microsoft mouses for Mac. Still I guess its what make apples mouses different.

Nice mouse though, I might not have a Mac yet but from the times of tried it, it seemed very nice and quite functional.

True, I have big hands so it may be a problem but I have never tryed it. It also may just be the pic.

I.E. I never knew wireless uses batterys I always thought there was an adapter kind of thing that goes into the PS/2 or USB port and it just goes like that.

I've been waiting for this. First I bought the bluetooth mouse but couldn't live without a scrollwheel so I bought the logitech v270. Yuck didn't work! Sold both and bought a mighty mouse, love it but miss being wireless. The day this is instore I'm there.

I've never used a wireless mouse before. I hear they are more trouble then they are worth, but obviously that is only an opinion. How long do the batteries last in a wireless mouse? With the batteries installed, is the mouse a bit heavy for the wrist? (looking for comfort). Just a couple of questions that popped in my noggin.

This is cool, but I am so used to Trackball Mice that I can't really use a regular one anymore..

I have a Logitech Wireless MX1000 and I thought I would hate a wireless mouse. Turns out I love the thing haha.

Except for the kind of short battery life, I like my Microsoft Wireless Intellipoint 2.0. (I got it for $10 on sale.)
