So fucking sick of the Mighty Mouse

Not Mighty at all! I'm using the wireless one and the damn scrolling nipple keeps fucking up. It doesn't scroll down and the problem keeps popping up after cleaning it and tapping it.

Going to get a Logitech VX Revolution to replace this POS. Possibly the worst product design from Apple.

:evil:

Re: So fucking sick of the Mighty Mouse

I've never cared for them either, but when you get a mouse with a system you buy is it ever usually good?

its a gaming mouse kamal, tbh its outstanding its not like a normal mouse as the layout is different and the mouse buttons are more like triggers or rather in a position like a trigger, there is a buttonon the front main part of it where u can select 3 different speeds, the scroll function is the main pain with it though as this is where your thumb sits and sometimes u accidently move it which can be a bit of a pain when ur trying to get accuracy sometimes, will say one other thing about it though make sure u can a wrist rest because sometimes ur hand can hurt if u r resting it on a hard surface

imo a good investment

But the Mighty Mouse doesn't come free with a system does it?? I use it with my macbook pro so I don't know. Somebody gave it to me, probably saw the light. :roll::evil::what

the wired ones come free with the desktops. have to pay extra for the wireless ones.

notebooks do not come with them, have to pay extra.

Re: So fucking sick of the Mighty Mouse

Motherfucker! The VX Revolution died! WTF?!?!?! That's less than a fucking month from my last post! ARGH. Motherfuckers.

Re: So fucking sick of the Mighty Mouse

The scroll ball can get dirty really quick.. Take a tiny bit of hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol and rub the scroll ball around in circles, up and down, and left and right..Only use a tiny bit though, as you don't really want to soak the inside where the scroll ball sensors are, you just want to clean it out.

Hope this helps.. You can tell when the scroll ball will need cleaning. I usually clean mine once every week or so...It takes about 5 seconds.

Re: So fucking sick of the Mighty Mouse

I do clean the nipple but it's too flaky. I've junked the Might Mouse since getting the VX Revolution, only to have this POS die on me. Good thing I found the receipt so I'm bringing it back for an exchange.

Re: So fucking sick of the Mighty Mouse

Mighty Mouse is one of the worst Apple products EVAR!!

Actually all of the one button mouse thing-a-ma-jabobs blow donkey dick.

Fervent mac user here, and I'd recommend any mouse but one made by apple. Especially since there is such thing as a right click on shit now days...lol

Re: So fucking sick of the Mighty Mouse

Remember, all Logitech keyboards and mice have a lifetime warranty so you can call or email in and they'll send you a replacement. You don't even have to send the old one in.

#1086365Post 21 of 35

Re: So fucking sick of the Mighty Mouse

I went through the website support, and they told me to bring it back to the shop, except now the shop is out of stock, so I'm waiting for them to get new ones :(

I don't have a negative attitude and there wasn't anything negative in that post. I said to quit yer shenanigans and just suck it up. Grow a sack and be happy. Enjoy life. Don't be an asshat or an indian in the cupboard.

Re: So fucking sick of the Mighty Mouse

Had mine now for 6+ years...still works (although the main cord is fraying...should theoretically be an easy splice and re-wire if I have to)...best fucking mouse ever.

this thing sells for a hell of a lot now that they've stopped making them years ago...

#1099701Post 35 of 35

Re: So fucking sick of the Mighty Mouse

never quite got into those mice with the big trackball. They are nice, but they are also quite bulky. It's all down to personal preference.

If the cord is beginning to fray and they sell for a lot of $$...I'd sell it now before something happens to it.
