Come on! How good would that be? Especially with the many reported problems with the current MM! I know its dreaming, but just wanted to know if anyone else has given this a thought!
Got a tip for us?

Am i the only one who thinks an aluminium mighty mouse is on the cards?

nope....
it will either remain white or go black. Apple likes the way it balances the aluminum everywhere else. and sits with the white keys on the new keyboard.
I've been wrong before though.

im also against apple mice.
the mighty mouse was ok but the ball stopped working after about 2 months.
im sorry for saying it, but i have 3 dell opticle mice(s) in my house and its not going to change (barring a miracle) but as the iphone has shown us... they do happen

I highly doubt we'll ever see an aluminum Mighty Mouse. It just wouldn't look quite right. The Mighty Mouse matches the key color on the new Aluminum keyboards, and I think that's good enough.
I'm personally somewhat getting annoyed at all the aluminum stuff, which is one reason I got my MacBook before Macworld. I just love the white design. I also like the Power Mac G4 design more than the Power Mac G5. I can't stand that stupid "grate" look on the G5. I like shiny things.

The Mighty Mouse is fabulous compared to the Puck mouse that came with the G3 machines. That was truly awful.
I'm definately no metal-worker but I can't imagine making the 'bar of soap' shape from Aluminium'd be easy.
Am I the odd one out? I've had my MM for a year and it works perfectly, never had to clean the ball...maybe people should take more care washing their hands then they wouldn't gunk up
There won't be an Al. mouse, it's far too slippery

Not holding my breath for this one, but it seems in line with Apple's current design philosophies.

What if there was some kind of trackpad/sensor in the top of the MM which could sense finger gestures like scroll or zoom in, now with their patented "ignore unintentional gestures" technology, that could be really cool

Nope, you're not odd one out. I love my might mouse. Never had a problem with it.
Did you mean something that looked like this? (I had to change some of your criteria - hope you don't mind)

I love my new Apple keyboard, but I have never liked any of their mouses. I hope they do finally come out with one thats better than the alternatives, but I am not going to hold my breath. I love my logitech bluetooth mouse.
well what i was originally thinking was that a redesign was on the cards...and then i thought it'd probably go with the whole aluminium thing. But originally i was going with the redesign...something with a ball that doesnt need cleaning...but looks awesome! (like the current one does)
We already have threads about how people are experiencing electrical discharge from their alu keyboard... I don't think we need yet more threads about people getting the same static shocks from a damn mouse!! Do we?
A wireless mouse wouldn't exhibit such problems but a mouse is the most handled thing on a computer by far and even hard-anodising will have a fairly short life. I very much doubt they'll introduce an aluminium mouse, although who knows, with Apple's currently especially strong track of 'form over function' they might.
