Apple to Introduce Bluetooth Mighty Mouse

[werty316]

You would have thought that Apple would have caught on to the fact that the first Mighty Mouse sucked and that it sold very poorly. They could just come out with a true two-button mouse, but no, that would be too much of a concession to the "other" platform, I guess.

Apple has submitted a filing with the FCC for the Bluetooth version of its single-button right-clickable mouse, the Mighty Mouse. The new mouse will be exactly the same as the current Mighty Mouse except for its wireless feature. The mouse comes with a single button that does both left-click and right-click duties. One omni-directional pointing ball in the middle allows you to scroll in any direction.

The new Mighty Mouse uses two standard AA batteries and will be compatible with OS X 10.4.6 and later. Some users reported that the Mighty Mouse had some issues with right clicking, and often times the single fat button would click both sides of the mouse. It is unclear whether or not this has been addressed.

No release date is set for the new Bluetooth Mighty Mouse -- currently codenamed M6, but judging from the FCC filing, the new mouse should arrive soon.

I've never used a Mighty Mouse, and we have Mac's at work, but I've heard TERRIBLE things about them... Apple's attempt at creating a PC mouse for the Mac may be their first mistake since their rebirth... And, you could always just purchase a better (and cheaper ;)) USB PC mouse and it will work just fine. I'm using a M$ Wheel Mouse Optical at work :P and I've configured it to function just like a PC mouse. It's the best of both world's :)

I have to agree, trying to figure out how to use a one button mouse for left and right clicking without even a scroll wheel was uttery frustrating! I'm sure at some point Apple will release a product that is so bad that it'll finally backfire on them... :roll: While their mice needed that scrolling option, that one pictured above it just to gimmicky for my liking...
