The closest Apple Store to me is 400 miles away!!! Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: BTs_Mysterio on August 02, 2005, 03:42:33 pm if they patented the "Scroll Ball" they did actually revolutionize the mouse... I still won't buy one due the the fact I just recently... semi-recetny... bought a MX1000.
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: Civrock on August 02, 2005, 03:45:53 pm "Mighty Mouse even sounds as good as it feels. The audio feedback built into Mighty Mouse provides an aural sensation that responds to your movements. A tiny speaker inside Mighty Mouse produces button-clicking and Scroll Ball-rolling sound effects."
:o ::lol:: Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: BTs_Mysterio on August 02, 2005, 03:50:27 pm Ugg you killed it Apple!
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: bronto on August 02, 2005, 04:16:21 pm yeah the sounds is pretty rediculous. what if you're playing a game and clicking a lot?
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: Civrock on August 02, 2005, 04:17:00 pm you can turn it off.
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: BTs_Mysterio on August 02, 2005, 04:39:15 pm Hurrah you saved it Apple!
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: th.Sentinel on August 02, 2005, 06:40:36 pm Pff why call it a mighty mouse when it needs a wire to fly...
That is so 20th century. Booo! Not gonna buy for the stupid scrollball, its not worth the 55€ Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"!

Not gonna buy for the stupid scrollball, its not worth the 55€ I'm not really buying for the scrollball...just the two-button functionality that all my gaming clan members have been screaming about to me for the last 2 years. I do prefer wired over wireless, though...I've tried wireless mice and keyboards and I wasn't happy with them.[/size] Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: l ! l Ross on August 02, 2005, 07:34:29 pm I might get one. The only thing I want to know is, can the buttons be programed with keystokes?
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: spike on August 02, 2005, 09:56:23 pm i just bought one. apple owes you some commision civ.

Post by: BTs_Mysterio on August 02, 2005, 10:08:56 pm Ross, I assume that in the pictures there is a "Other..." selection in the button menu. From there I am assuming you can program keystrokes. My question is whether or not you have to press both sides at the same time for the "squeeze" click.
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: BTs_Lee.Harvey on August 02, 2005, 10:14:54 pm I will still stick with my logitech... the MM just seems so "gimickie". plus i like my 8 button mouse
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: c| Spetsnaz. on August 02, 2005, 10:50:14 pm Does it use freakin laser beams?

Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: BTs_Mysterio on August 02, 2005, 11:21:24 pm Then I guess you wait for a driver hack. It doesn't use lasers, so far that's Logitech only.
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: crypt on August 02, 2005, 11:32:30 pm w00t, I can finally get rid of this piece of shit Microsoft mouse I've had since my other Apple mouse died. I'll go to CompUSA when a couple people pay me back the money they owe me on Friday. Now I just have to get my Tiger disks back, as I'm forced to be on my G3 until my brother arrives from California. Both my internal and External drives have crashed on me in the time frame of 1 week. I'm like a crash magnet.

::lol:: Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: BTs_Mysterio on August 03, 2005, 01:47:51 am On the bright side, at least they didn't model the mouse after the character.. unlike those Disney mice...
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: Po~ReverendMoss on August 03, 2005, 06:34:06 pm I bought myself tablet for the pen feature, but it came with a two-button scroll mouse that i thought was pretty cool.... until now 8)
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: jerkasaur on August 03, 2005, 09:08:46 pm My MX700 still pwns it
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on August 04, 2005, 03:35:23 pm Well, I got my Mighty Mouse from Apple yesterday (man, when they say you'll have it in 24 hours, they aren't kidding!). It is very nice, has the same great feel as my standard one-button Apple Mouse, and has all those features that makes for better gaming (like, um, TWO-buttons).
My MX700 still pwns it Ah, but you don't have one big thing that you get with the Mighty Mouse...the Apple logo. Gotta have the "coolness" factor or it just doesn't count. That's actually the reason I've never bought a two-button mouse...I don't allow anything on my desktop that doesn't have the Apple Logo. So my monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc, all have to be Apple. Printers, scanners, and other items without the Apple logo are sentenced to life elsewhere, so that my Apple equipment is not tainted. ;) Oh, one more thing...since my daughter is now in school, I was able to buy my new Apple Mighty Mouse at the educational rate of $44! ;D Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: crypt on August 04, 2005, 07:33:15 pm w000t my tiger is back up and I'm gonna go get Mighty Mouse when CompUSA gets it.

Pfff ^^^^^ Freak ;)I also got the MX700, it has 8 buttons and an ergonomical design. Fits great in my hand. Btw I have the mouse for more then a year now and never had to change the batteries. It recharges itself in its dock when it needs to. I think the wire on those apple mice is to slim, it always makes the wrong curls and ends up under the mouse itself. That is why I prefer going wireless. Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: l ! l Ross on August 04, 2005, 07:52:35 pm I just got my mouse in the mail today.
Loved it but can't use it for games until I can put in a keystoke on one of the buttons for talking in kdx and nf. But anyway I think it works great. Seems smoother than my MX500 but I can't really tell until I play some games. The scoll ball works great! and the buttons are really nice. Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"!

Apple doesn't make Printer & Scanners, at least not anymore..... :o Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: crypt on August 05, 2005, 08:40:41 am Damnit, CompUSA are such noobs. The guy was looked at me like I was some kinda Apple nerd or something and didn't know shit about it yet. He said they might get it in like 2 weeks. Now even Apple.com has a 7-10 day shipping on it. Fuck. I guess I'll have to wait.

Because of that, I grabbed for my credit card that very instant and ordered one. Had it the next day. w00t! Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"!

;D Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: spike on August 11, 2005, 04:15:59 pm im really enjoying my scroll wheel. I would get it peirced, but I heard it makes it less sensitive ;D
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: Civrock on August 11, 2005, 04:23:42 pm goddamn... i want a Razer mouse with Apple scrollball! the Mighty Mouse is a bit too heavy for my taste and its form doesn't really fit my fingertip-style. the Razer is light and optimized for fingertip-usage... but Apple's scrollball is so fuckin' awesome! :::-/::
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on August 11, 2005, 04:56:31 pm I love my little Mighty Mouse all around. I'm thinking of getting one for my PC at work...then an Apple 20-in Cinema Display, Apple Keyboard...hehehe. I could even put Apple stickers all over my Dell!
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: DarK. on August 14, 2005, 08:59:41 pm Oh great there was a topic about this lol, I got back from a 2 week trip to africa last night and saw this mouse today, and I was like "I wanna post on DAMN to find out how good it is" Sounds GREAT! Cant wait, just ordered it.
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: l ! l Ross on August 14, 2005, 09:19:37 pm Well I have had my mouse for a few weeks now.
You can use usb overdrive with it if you do not install the Apple drivers. The problem I have with the mouse is that it can't work with 2 buttons pressed down. So because I like to have a voice button on my mouse for KDX and NF I can't actually shot my gun when talking. I am going to staying with my Logitech 500 for now but I will probably get the new razor when ever its released. Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: :MoD:Shade on August 14, 2005, 09:27:46 pm The new Logitech G5 looks pretty sexy - you can even customize how much it weighs.
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: DarK. on August 14, 2005, 10:12:01 pm Thats bad news ross... is there some way around that?
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: Civrock on August 14, 2005, 10:19:13 pm Nope.
Title: Re: Apple presents the "Mighty Mouse"! Post by: l ! l Ross on August 14, 2005, 11:00:32 pm The new Logitech G5 looks pretty sexy - you can even customize how much it weighs. If logitech were to update there software for the mac then it would be choice. |
