Here I Come to Save the Day (or, 'Hands on with Mighty Mouse')
by
Bob 'Dr. Mac' LeVitusEpisode 43
August 5th, 2005I woke up Tuesday morning to find a package from Apple, boldly labeled Mighty Mouse, on my front porch. I had only been awake for a few minutes and I hadn't yet had coffee or surfed the Web, so my first though was, 'Why the heck is Apple sending me a cartoon character?'
I soon figured out that it wasn't that Mighty Mouse…but rather, it was Apple's brand spankin' new input device, announced and introduced earlier Tuesday morning for US$49 at the Apple Store. As I ripped open the box, my phone began to ring; it was Apple calling to brief me on their latest, greatest rodent. So before I downed even one cup of java, I had a box containing a Mighty Mouse of my very own and had been briefed, albeit briefly, by the Apple product team.
After ingesting sufficient quantities of a highly caffeinated beverage, I managed to rip open the package, install the Mighty Mouse software, and get that handsome little sucker up and running.

The Mighty Stick - Ld36 Mac Os Catalina
If you use an earlier version of Mac OS X, or choose to use Mighty Mouse with Windows, you can use it as a two-button scrolling mouse, but you'll lose the ability to configure your third (Scroll Ball) and fourth (side squeeze) buttons.
Of course, this being its inaugural release, I have a couple of quibbles…
First and foremost, I am dismayed that it won't allow me to configure any of its buttons to send a keystroke. You can configure any button to invoke Expose, Dashboard, Spotlight, or the Application Switcher, or to launch a specific program, but that's it. You can't configure any of them to send a keystroke such as Command-[ or Command-], which are my favorite shortcuts (for Back and Forward in both the Finder and Safari).
That could be the deal-breaker for me… You see, my previous mouse, the Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2, lets me use two of its buttons to send the keystrokes for Forward (Command-]) and Back (Command-[) as shown below:
Figure 3: My IntelliMouse Explorer lets me use any button I like to send keystrokes like Command-] (Forward) or Command-[ (Back) while Mighty Mouse doesn't allow any of its buttons to send keystrokes. Bummer!

I've been missing that feature a lot since I switched to the Mighty Mouse.
Another issue for me is that the fourth button-the one you invoke by squeezing the sides of your Mighty Mouse-is awkward to use. I have to reposition my hand on the mouse to make it work. That's not good. For what it's worth, I'd prefer two independent programmable buttons that you press over one button that requires a squeeze.
Finally, I've grown used to the freedom of a wireless mouse, so I am not thrilled about being tethered to my Mac by a USB cable.
Still, I love the Scroll Ball to death and will stick with Mighty Mouse for a while, hoping Apple adds support for keystrokes and/or allows the left and right side buttons to operate independently of each other without squeezing. But I'll almost certainly switch back to my Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 unless the Mighty Mouse software gains one or both of those features. While I definitely prefer Mighty Mouse's Scroll Ball to the IntelliMouse tilting scroll wheel, I prefer having Forward and Back buttons on my mouse even more.
And that's all he wrote…

My Mac’s Mighty Mouse has packed up after 3 months of use. The scroll ball will no longer scroll “down” (it moves but has no effect) and every now and again the mouse pointer jumps all over the place. Back to Apple for you, Mr Mouse! I hope it has a 3-year warranty like the Mac…
Now I no longer feel that the Microsoft mouse I bought a month before my Mac was a wasted purchase! I’ve switched to it and, after getting used to it, I think I actually prefer it to the Mighty Mouse (despite the lack of left-right scrolling, which I hardly ever used anyway). And it has better acceleration than the Mighty Mouse too. 🙂
UPDATE 25 Aug: Woah! Turns out all I needed to do was clean the ball. Thought I’d search for “mighty mouse won’t scroll down” before calling Apple and found this helpful page. Tried cleaning the ball – now it scrolls down! 🙂 It wasn’t even particularly dirty (or at least didn’t look it). Very strange. Looks like Mighty Mouse is really a bit “sensitive” on the inside! 😉
