I have the Mighty Mouse but every now and then I cant get it to scroll down with the scroll ball. I can usually fix it by playing with it awhile but I've been trying this time for over a half hour and it still wont work so I'm in need of a new mouse because I am scrollball/wheel heavy. I hear Logitech is pretty good. Any ideas?

You can clean it with a soft cloth and Isopropyl alcohol. Turn it upside down and run the scroll ball over the cloth. Dirt does build up because it's so small. I've done this and my MM works fine.

Most mice work fine with Mac but sometimes you don't get full functionality with all the buttons. If you're going wireless or bluetooth I haven't had much luck with non-apple mice for some reason.

Yes, I have to agree, I like Logitech mice. They seem to work really well, and I've never had one die on me yet... As for microsoft mice, they are not too bad either, and are generally inexpensive, but I'd always perfer a logitech...

I've found that the MS ones really nice, they feel nice are cheap and last for ages. Never had any problems with tham at all.
