Bluetooth Mighty Mouse?

Ok ok , I havent read alll the 7 other pages but ... I noticed something on the mouse description :


Bluetooth technology, ultimate portability

With its secure, reliable Bluetooth technology, wireless Mighty Mouse goes wherever you do. Pair it with any Bluetooth-enabled Mac to work untethered and uncluttered at your desk or on the go, and it operates with either one or two AA batteries — no bulky dock required.

I thought it was an error ... but no . Yoiu can either use 1 or 2 batteries ... isnt that cool. So, if you are like me, when your wireless mouse is dying ... and you can only find 1 bat. that is cool 😀🙂
 
BT Might Mouse On AppleStore.com whos buying?

Just went to the store online and they are out.. Whos gonna pick one up?

On the Software part of the wireless MM page, there is a picture that shows a stack of new options and a slightly redesigned preference pane - I hope those options aren't wireless-only, I just plugged in my MM and they aren't there.

Software Update coming??

That's the normal Mighty Mouse pane. It changes to that when you're using one. I can see you've never used one...
 
Huh, I notice "Wireless keyboard and mouse" is no longer an option for BTO iMac... thats odd. You'd think they'd at least keep the regular bluetooth mouse there until they figure out what to charge for the BTO bluetooth MM.
 
$70 for a mouse? Give me a break.

I just bought a two button scrollwheel mouse for $1.67. There's no reason for it to cost more than that. $10 is too much.
 
Finally they released it.

For those of you complaining about price. I have yet to see a bluetooth mouse for less than $45 and most are in the $70 range. Yes, wired and RF you can get cheap but Bluetooth is expensive. The price is exactly what I was expecting.
 
Apple Stores have em yet?

Do any of the physical Apple stores have these yet? I'm in Boston and would like to pick one up 🙂
 
Current wired Mighty Mouse is $79. Single-button Wireless Mouse is $99.

The Logitech mx1000 is about $159.

I reckon we'd be looking at about $109 or if they wanted to be good about it the Wireless Mighty Mouse could come in at the $99 mark.

Not too bad really, the competition in laser wireless mouses from MS, Logitech etc are all priced similarly but the Mighty Mouse comes with some better stuff.
 
One of my mates has a wired MM, not a real fan of the ergonomics of the Apple mice (mouses? Please deities, let's not start that debate again 😛). Start to cramp my hand a fair bit after 5 minutes, very fingertip stuff compared to my Logitech Cordless Optical (no numbers, just called that). It also takes a bit of practice remembering to lift your left finger when right clicking and stuff like that, and the marble annoys me a fair bit, especially scrolling long lists in iTunes etc. Don't practice it a lot though, it may get better with time.

Well, there is a reason...wireless (particularly bluetooth). Just because you don't want it doesn't mean other people do.
 
In the UK edu prices:
£31 for Mighty Mouse and £35 for the Bluetooth version.

Not too bad I guess. I'll be holding out for the black version though 🙂

Edit: Ignore the prices folks...looking at the wrong one.....doh!

You should really credit Bill Hicks with that excellent quote btw. 🙂

First of all, I think this should have been released at most a couple months after the introduction of the Mighty Mouse. Taking a year to give it BT capabilities is ridiculous.

And $70 for a ****ing mouse is absurd. Doesn't look like I'll be buying anymore mice from apple.

I payed more than that for my Apple BT mouse a few days ago😡 🙄 🙁
 
Strange. I check PowerMac section under store and they still don't offer wireless keyboard/wireless mouse.

That thing is cool BUT I'd rather use Wacom table though.

And for those of you who bought the expensive, one-button bluetooth mouse, sorry but...what the hell were you thinking!?
Click to expand...
I was thinking that I like the one button mouse, I don't like cords, and the BT one button mouse has the nicest feel of any mouse I've ever used. That's what the hell I was thinking... 🙄
 
$70 really isn't that bad. All multi-button bluetooth mice cost a fair amount.

That said, if I were going to buy a new BT mouse (which I'm not, because my 2.5 year old MS one is still kicking) I'd get the radtech BT600 because it has more buttons and can recharge with usb. (it's $60 btw... same range)

I've been checking the UK store (Higher Ed + Normal) since the announcement, the Wireless Mighty Mouse is still not up there. Are you sure you're not confusing the Mighty Mouse with the wired one? ( The Wired Mighty Mouse is is £31.73 H.E, £35.00 Retail)

Plus, I think we've already had a link to MacWorld showing the price at £49.99
 
is it just me being stupid? i can't find it on the uk store or uk education store.

i cancelled my bluetooth mouse order this morning (with a macbook) coz of this, and now i can't even add the mighty mouse coz its not on the site!
