Are there any? Because like many others, I've ditched the Apple Mouse that came with my Mac. At first I thought I liked it, but now I realize it's terrible. Right now it's a giant "Wake Up From Sleep, iMac G5" button. But the extra cable is starting to make that function pointless.

So, what else can one do with an Apple Mouse? It looks cool, it clicks, and it can connect to anything with a USB port.

Got any ideas?

Other than selling it. I'm moving soon, living as an expat in another country. Selling it really isn't an option. It also looks too nice.

So, any ideas?

You aren't sitting on it correctly then.

You seem to be an expert, so, tell me, what is the proper way to sit on an Apple Mouse? Is there anal penetration involved?
