For this Christmas I wasn't quite in that mood of furious greed wishing half of the world in a packed box, but since I was needing a mouse to speed up my work at the MacBook, I finally thought that the Apple's Mighty Mouse would be a good choice.
I read some reviews and noticed that this was one of that Apple products that is a bit overpriced when compared to other concurrent products, but hey! it was Apple's mouse, and from the Apple products it's difficult to resist.
So I bought a wireless Mighty Mouse, and here I am with it.
First I have to say that Apple knows how to innovate, although this mouse has no visible buttons it still works perfect, and detects right a right, middle and left click. When you click you feel the whole mouse going a bit down and then the click is detected.
Then, there is the scroll ball. It's fairly good in doing the usual scroll up and down but I must say I didn't quite manage to work properly with the left and right scroll, mainly because I usually don't work with the mouse on a totally vertical position, so when I try to scroll left or right i'm actually scrolling up or down. I have to get used to it, or simply forget that those scrolls exist, since I barely will use them.
The other two lateral buttons are a bit tricky to manage if you don't position your hand correctly on the mouse. If you incorrectly do so, it will be required a bit of force to activate the buttons, putting your other fingers in a strange position in a way to avoid unwanted clicks. But with a good positioned hand, the lateral left click is perfectly accessible. The right lateral is a bit useless for me since I simply can't work with it. It must be there for the left handed people since there is no way of assigning a task to one of the laterals and another to the other.
Overall, the mouse is fairly good, nice precision and, of course, full and smooth integration with Apple's Mac OS X.
In a nutshell, i think it was a good choice. You know how it is, an eye candy Apple product is always something that makes us proud.
