by Apple! It will work fine in Windows/PC's as well.

The Mighty Mouse by Apple.

$49 regular, $44 for students.

WTFOMGBBQ?
2 button:finally
Scroll Ball: It's called 3D Scroll Whell(the ones that pivot left/right and roll up/down do the same thing)
Squeeze: cant imagine what that's for but side button have been around for generations(of mice anyway)
Nice idea, but is too expensive in the crowded mouse market. I would rather have a MX518 or a Razer Diamondback.
I love how apple touts the most mundane as breakthroughs though.

And for the low price of 49 dollars.

Sheesh. Generics on Newegg cost 7.50 for the same features.

That will not stop those who drink the Apple coolaid from rushing to their nearest Genius Bar, however.

I like it for these reasons:

It's very clean.
The two buttons are not actually buttons, but more like the touch pad type of things.
The "wheel" is actually a ball, like a track pad. It allows you to scroll in all directions, and not just up and down.

*edit* I forget that this mouse will also be completely silent. No more "clicking"

I'm going to go check it out at the local Apple store to see if it's comfortable as well. The older single button Apple mouse was much more comfortable than the standard Logitech/MS type of mouse.

but I'll need a nice system to match this mouse.

yeah, the oval design is a nice for lefties and righties but almost all mice have a 3D scroll wheel now that lets them scroll around anywhere and dont forget pressing ti down will allow that weird scrolling thigh to come up to that also does the same thing.

As for the 2 buttons thing, its fine, but dosent enchance the exprience.

What i'd like for that price is not a novelty touch sensor and a ball, but maybe a better sensor like the one used on a mx518. But then, Apple dosent actaully give a damn about gamers which explains my dislike of the mouse...

Good for mac users if apple includes it in all their new products. Nothing new for PC users.....

I don't see any specs on the sensors. I too would like to know what it is. I'm not a particular fan of Apple stuff (except that I love my powerbook, and use it for everything other than gaming), because I do think that you pay somewhat of a "premium", but if it brings you added enjoyment over the standard non-apple products..I think the price is justified.
