MacMice "The Mouse"

Have you checked the mouse preferences in the system finder to see if changing that at all will do the trick?

 

I have the bluetooth version of the same mouse, and have had those same problems from day one a year ago. As soon at the Mighty Mouse goes bluetooth, I'm going with that.

 

Mighty Mouse going bt...*drool*

 

I've never had any problems with mine, but then again, it hasn't been plugged in for a while

 

Funny, I just started having the same problems as well.

 

SAME HERE!!! I'm Returning it.

I have been having the same crap happen. Its when you click and drag. It will jump around and start highlighting stuff. I tested in different mouse pads, the table, e.t.c.

I know it is the MM because i have a BT mouse and tested them side by side and the BT works fine. It has become almost unusable.

 

THE MOUSE SUCKS

It's not Apple. I had "The Mouse" for almost a year, and the only reason I held on to it was because I knew Apple would be releasing their own version, and now I have it! I had the same problems with The Mouse from day one, replaced it with another, and still had problems (always double clicking, way too sensitive, unable to drag ANYTHING). Go get Mighty Mouse! It's so nice to be able to drag and drop again!

 

Have you even considered that maybe it's the surface of your table or whatever you're using your mouse on?

 

DVForge knows there is a problem with TheMouseBT

Mine is completely unusable. Still need to take it back though. Lazy me.

 

Worse than knowing something is wrong, they are probably in bankruptcy right now.

Read that and see if they are a viable alternative right now.

Edit: Jack denies bankruptcy plans .... no telling what is happening, and a lot more fun in the Jack vs. Phil saga -- but it does seem these companies may be going out of business.

 

Mac Mice BT - Looked Good - Worked Bad

I read their website and thought "That looks good, I think I will buy it." What a waste of money, I used it for a couple of hours and had to quit. It now resides in my closet with all those other items which caught my attention in a weak moment. It didn't compare to the Mighty Mouse which I really like.

 

Good call.

 

Bankrupt or not, they certainly have closed down their products business.

 

About time! Those guys are borderline scam artists, and I've known it for years.

Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say!

 

Irregular pointer movements etc

I have a brand new iMac and experienced the same problem with the Apple mouse and a Microsoft one. The cause was me leaning on my elbow which was just touching the side of the space bar on the keyboard. The fix was simple!

Try it ...

Fixed!!!

For all of you on laptops, I figured out that if you turn off the check box in mouse preferences that enables the trackpad to click, the MacMice mouse suddenly works normal again!

YAY!

Edit: Well, after a little while of working, the problem is back. Even after reinstalling 10.4. It's not the security update either, because I didn't update my system right away. It's definitely the mouse.

 

Now that DVForge's closing is official... with no solution to the problem- Does anyone know of a good reliable Bluetooth mouse for the Mac?

 

I guess get in the queue for the mighty mouse to go BT? The simple Apple BT mouse is reliable and gets a long battery life...but if you really want a good BT mouse, Logitech is probably the best, imo.
