  • Apple launches a two-button mouse . . . . . . and hell freezes over

    Seems if Apple is determined to get rid of everything that made them . . . . . unique , shall I say . First the x6 move , then the DMR thing , now this .

    Any supporters of the one-button interface here ? I come from the calssic two-button world of the PC .

    My 518 Logitech costs 50$ and it has 8 buttons + a scrollwheel, not to mention 1600DPI

      Only if you totally ignore the entire design of the product.

          The PC world has moved past 2 button mice years ago.

          I feel lost without 5 buttons.

            5 buttons? 8 buttons? Good god, why?

            All I need is a 2 button + scroll wheel..although my current moust has the typical 2 buttons, a scroll wheel, page up/page down buttons, another button whose purpose i don't know, and a Forward/Back button for web browsing..my keyboard also has a scroll wheel, back/forward, and other media/PC buttons.

            I never use any of them though. Too set in my ways.

              It's essential for back/forward (thumb buttons), and pushing the mousewheel in is great for activating panning mode.

                Ok, I understand panning with the wheel, but everything else is just totally beyond my needs or wants, except for possible gaming.

                  Actually, I make do with four buttons--the fourth is for going back on webpages.

                  The fifth mouse button and the wheelmouse button, I don't use as much.

                    Hmmm... looks still like a weird mouse. The scroll around part seems useable, but the squeeze parts doesn't seem to be that good for the hand

                    I have only tried a Mac once or twice, but that was a long time ago so I've forgotten about have it was...
                    My mouse has 6 buttons, but one of them is too weirdly placed to be used
                    The other 3 non-standard buttons are used to back, maximize and minimize
                    This space is empty... or is it?

                      Honestly, I still use my microsoft mice on the mac I have. This "Mighty Mouse"... well, I don't like its aesthetics. Then again, I haven't been a big fan of the mac sense of design with the exception of their new keyboard and the G5.

                        It seems like a nice mouse, but I like my Logitech, so I'll hold off.

                          And the Mighty Mouse looks super strange.

                            In terms of ergonomics the old Apple Pro mouse is the best I've ever used. It's nice and solid and you never get sore using it.

                              Can we all agree that "Mighty Mouse" is even a worse name than "Windows Vista"?
