I mean, maybe i just need to have a solid colored mouse pad. Maybe I've got a funky mouse, I can't be sure. And speaking of scrolling, the scroll ball on the mouse scrolls not only up and down, but also left and right. So summary: It's a really great mouse as long as you don't mind replacing it ever so often, have a good battery stash, and don't mind not using a mousepad.
The scroll wheel will not last and no, you can not clean it. Eventually the wheel would only scroll down, but the up started working. I usually forget that it takes batteries until I get a warning on my screen, and even then I just run the batteries down until the mouse wont click anymore. When I put it on a mouse pad, the cursor would either slowly drift in one direction while I had my hands completely off the mouse, or the cursor would jump around as I moved the mouse.
It's just cool. When I play The Sims 3 the mouse scrolls around the world wonderfully with no lag. I got a new mouse pad which had grey and black diamonds on it (very close in color, and very small pattern) and I got the same thing. The first two mouse pads I tried had designs on them and I thought it might have something to do with the laser and one of the colors. Now the criticism:A lot of people have had this same problem. I love all the buttons and how it fits into my hand, and I think it's really awesome that it's really just one big button but depending on what part you press down on depends on if you're left/right/center clicking. rechargeable batteries are a GREAT investment). My iMac came with a wired Mighty Mouse.
Luckily, you do get a good run out of it. How cool is that. (If you play games on the computer you just HAVE to scroll, you can't avoid it). Once it's done it's done. I didn't have this problem on my wired mouse at all, I have no idea why it's happening on this one.
Eventually, I'll need a new mouse. Another problem that I've had is one I haven't really heard about. It's super awesome, I love that I can go anywhere with it. (If you own a lot of electronics that take AA's like the Mighty Mouse, Wii-motes, etc. First, the praise:Okay, I love this mouse. It's a very cool mouse that works well.
It's really frustrating. I am sure, however, that the paint on my desk is all worn off where my mouse is, and I get a constant buildup of gunk on the bottom of my mouse from whatever it scrapes up off my desk. Correct me if I'm wrong but, the mouse will not work on a mouse pad. The battery life lasts a pretty long time. There's no way to take the ball out and clean it. My boyfriend bought me a wireless one to replace it, it's about a year later, and I'm just now starting to feel the scroll stop up.
My wired mouse lasted a couple years.
This has always been a good mouse, but I know lots of people whose ball goes bad, gets gummed up or begins not responding properly. That being said, it is a very ergonomic mouse and it works well.
Well, it works for few hours, then I have to do it again. The right button is a way too unreliable - I was missing it all the time until I reassigned its functions to the center button. Now this problem is more or less solved, even though I miss the simplicity of the standard mouse.Cleaning the trackball is a nightmare. Very annoying. I really wish I could just remove it and take all that dirt out of there, but it is not possible, so what I do is turning the mouse upside down and spinning the ball around a clean sheep of paper - this is a trick I found on the internet.
I regret I did not return it immediately after i bought it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. This mouse rather than being a tool it has been a real pain, I spend more time trying to fix it than working with it. I have had this mouse for over one year and it does not work any more. Since first days of use the mouse wheel started to fail, I took it to service with the sleek apple people and they clean it, it seemed to work well. It is a shame that apple makes this very poor quality mouse. i got home and few minutes later it did not work again.
I love this mouse. adobe products, autocad). The programmable buttons are great, work like a charm. I love to use this mouse for with graphics software (i.e.
