Apple Wired Mouse
The Wired Mouse from Apple is an elegant, ergonomic companion for your computer. The sleek design features touch-sensitive buttons that respond to touch, without mechanical clicking necessary. In place of a scroll-wheel, a scroll-ball allows you to scroll 360° around documents and webpages, giving you complete browsing freedom. Force-sensitive side buttons can be set to quickly activate frequently-used accessibility features like Expose and Dashboard. This aesthetic device is Apple's answer to the traditional mouse.
- Innovative Scroll Ball and Button
- Perfectly positioned to roll smoothly under just one finger, the Apple Mouse's Scroll Ball offers full 360° scrolling capability — up/down, left/right and diagonally. You can scroll long web pages, pan full-size images, maneuver around large spreadsheets, control a video timeline and more. And you can even click the Scroll Ball to access your favorite Mac OS X features such as Dashboard, Spotlight or Expose.
- Touch-Sensitive Top Shell
- It looks and feels like a sleek one-button mouse, but the Apple Mouse's smooth top shell hides a powerful secret: touch-sensitive technology under the shell detects which part of the mouse you're clicking, so you can both left-click and right-click. And if you prefer the simplicity of a classic one-button mouse, the Apple Mouse is up to the task. Just use the Mac OS X system preference pane to configure it how you want.
- Force-Sensing Side Buttons
- When you give the Apple Mouse a squeeze, force-sensing side buttons can be configured to activate Mac OS X features such as Dashboard, Expose or a whole host of other customizable features.
- Customizable
- If you have Mac OS X, the Apple Mouse can give you fingertip access to the special features you love. Simply use the system preference panel to configure the Apple Mouse in the way that makes you most powerful. Control the Scroll Ball's tracking and click functions, as well as the right, left and side click functions. You even can set up different mouse profiles for every user account on your Mac.
- Optical Tracking
- Powered by a precision optical sensor, the Apple Mouse provides responsive and accurate cursor movement on almost any type of surface — no mouse pad required.

Very good grip. The precise, sharp. Very easy to use ball control. The only negative - the ball quickly enough fouls (3-6 months). Refine you can go upside down mouse on a blank sheet of paper.
For quality and convenience of 5 stars, with the rapid contamination of 4 stars.

This would be the best mouse I've ever used, but Apple flubbed it and made it with a mechanical trackball that gets paralyzed by gunk, and is impossible to clean without surgery. Don't believe the cleaning advice, including Apple's, that says you can restore it with external cleaning. This wil keep it going just a little longer. It's a ridiculously, insultingly flawed design, mostly because it is so bad, yet so close to perfection otherwise. This mouse infuriates me. I've gone through three, and am now trying to figure out what to switch to.

Comments about Apple Wired Mouse:
It got really old trying to clean our 5 year old mouse - you know - rolling it, blowing in it - I even air basted it from my shop air compressor a few times in the last year. It's nice having a new, easy to use mouse again!

Comments about Apple Wired Mouse:
I very much regret switching from PC to IMAC thanks to continuous mouse problems since the changeover a year ago. I purchased the wired mouse because of multiple problems with the wireless, and with a non-Apple mouse. This mouse at least stays connected, but srolls unevenly and requires a pad for even minimal performance. Frequently while scrolling to the left, for example, it jumps completely off the page to the right, or vice versa. Never had a mouse problem with a pc, so I blame Apple technology.

Comments about Apple Wired Mouse:
I ordered a lot of this to replace PC style mouse for preschool classroom. It's relatively smaller and easier for kids. it also eliminates the confusion caused by two-bottom mouse, but you need to set up the system to accept both bottoms as primary bottom.

Comments about Apple Wired Mouse:
Nice product, typical of all Apple products! Needed a wired mouse as fed up with losing bluetooth connection with previous wireless model but do find the wire a bit of a pain - not a problem particular to Apple though - which would happen with all wired products. Looks good, nice feel.

Comments about Apple Wired Mouse:
I purchased this to back-up my wireless mouse because, it's always running out of batteries. It works great!I was also motivated by the rumor that all new Mac's will be delivered only with wireless mice and keyboards. Short of buying stock in battery companies, this is a must have item!
