Apple Releases Two Button Mighty Mouse




DescriptionApple today finally caved to it’s millions of users who make daily use of a two button mouse with OSX and introduced the Apple Mighty Mouse - along with some significant improvements to a normal mice of a non-mighty variety. The Mighty Mouse has the look and feel of a normal Apple mouse, but hidden touch sensors record the right and left click events from the mouse. The Mighty Mouse also features a touch sensitive ball at the top enabling scrolling in any dimension easily with the touch of a finger. Finally the Mighty Mouse is pressure sensitive meaning you can gently squeeze the entire mouse in your hand

has two side triggers to zoom in and out in applications such as Final Cut Pro or Photoshop or presumably navigate forward and back in a browser. The Mighty mouse will work with OS X 10.4.2 and above, as well as With Windows 2000, XP, and supposedly Vista. Years ago Microsoft “built a better mouse” when they introduced the scroll wheel - could this be yet another innovative step in the mouse world? I won’t know for sure until the one I just ordered to replace my Logitech MX900 Bluetooth two button mouse that I’ve been using with my Powerbook. What do you think?

Of course, this will change many opinions on why Apple made a one button mouse in the first place.

Thats tight.  Makes me happy Apple finally let go of the ancient 1-button mouse…

Sounds really cool, not sure it will motivate me to udgrade from my MX Laser 1000, but I’ll have to drop by an Apple store to check it out.  Maybe I’ll buy it when I get that new keyboard grin

Have mac users finally evolved beyond 1 button? The mind can only be strained so much. wink

Why is this not wireless?

RamonD…it’s so that they can make tons more money in a few months.  All the iGeeks will buy this and then ALSO buy the wireless one when it comes out.

Hey, they took this long to get a two button mouse out, I’d plan on another 5-10 years before they get up to speed on this whole wireless mouse thing.
