That is the dumbest video I've ever seen. Rub it with a clothe. Hold it upside down and rub it with a clothe. I had to watch it twice and take notes.
To answer an earlier question, RF based mice and keyboards do not require "line of sight," but it makes the operations more smooth. I noticed after putting the USB adapter on the back of my machine, inside the computer desk tower, and closing the door... that the mouse worked but was a little spotty. I plugged the adapter into the USB on the back of my Dell monitor.. and I'm very happy with the wireless optical performance on my Kensington Pilot.
It is just Windows trolls complaining about no physical buttons...
OMG, when I press any button, the whole mouse moves slightly!
The only time that I have seen a mighty mouse act up is in windows if the user keeps their hand firmly pressed against the entire surface of the mouse directly on top of both buttons simultaneously when they want to click something. (IT ALWAYS LEFT CLICKS!!!)
Go do something productive like buy WoW, make yourself a troll and start killing midgets.

Are you talking about with this new BT Mighty Mouse? It has right-click, no?slackersonly said:
I don't see how anybody could gripe about paying $70 for a Bluetooth Laser mouse, especially when it's only $20 more than the wired optical model.
I'm going to pick one up tomorrow or thenext day... now off to use my wire MM to get use to it again!
This is Apple at its best. Get your customers to buy two of every product. Come out with a product holding back one or two main feautures while keeping it still cool enough that people will buy it. Then a year later, release the version that everyone really wanted in the beginning and they'll all buy it again.
The people at Apple know of our hunger for the latest & greatest and are masters at exploiting it. I wish it wasn't true, but I'm weak just like the rest of you. (Okay, so, I didn't buy a Mighty Mouse, but that's because I'm a poor college student. When I actually have the money, I will fall into this trap.)
And does anyone else think it looks like a real mouse? Go to Apple's homepage and check out the pic there. That's probably what they were going for, but seriously...it looks like a mouse! Apple knows how to work it.

It has four buttons:
- Left click
- Right click
- Scrollball click
- Side trigger click
A Bluetooth laser mouse for $70 US is a good deal by any standard. Next time I go to the Apple store (Thursday), I'm going to try one out and see how I like it (Even though I already have a Bluetooth Logitech V270
). The V270 is not laser and it's very small - too small for my Carpal Tunneled wrist and hand.

? ? I thought It was an Apple product!Viacom isn't even an electronics company! Perhaps the mouse has a built in holographic projector so you can watch viacom TV stations?

Viacom owns the rights to the cartoon series 'mighty mouse,' which Apple licensed.
Ill go hide in the corner now.

Not for me. I'd love to at least give it a try, but I need to save every penny. It's just too much for me.

That is not only dumb but it doesn't work..
I just did it out of curiosity and the mouse still won't scroll down.It will go up and sideways but not down.
Apple needs to get better help videos..
