My Replacement Mighty Mouse

So, my old mighty mouse was screwing up. I had that scroll ball problem, where the scroll ball stopped scrolling. When you use the scroll ball as often as I do, you would understand why I would replace my mouse. Plus it was free covered by my iMacs warranty :-).
So I thought that I would just talk about the mouse a bit. It has a 360 degrees scroll ball, which is very useful for panning and using allot of applications. Although it looks like it is only a one button mouse, you can customize the mouse to right click. It also has 2 buttons on the sides, which is very helpful for everyone on a Mac. When the buttons are squeezed together it will launch expose. Also the buttons on top are touch sensitive, so if you tap the right button or left it knows what you tapped and you can then make your click (you don’t have to use the tap feature though).
This mouse had so much potential, but the scroll ball has let it down. The scroll ball easily stops scrolling within 3 months, and usually the mouse will only last about 6 months before you have to replace it. The idea is great and when you first get your hands on it, you will really like it. But obviously they didn’t test it enough before placing it on the market.
I wouldn’t recommend this mouse, because for $69 you could get a mouse that will last 3x as long. But it is comfortable in the hand. And if your don’t use the scroll ball much, then this mouse will be a fine purchase for you, but otherwise don’t.
