I've got so sick and tired of trying to get my Mighty Mouse to scroll down I've decided it's time to get something else. I just want something that's simple and reliable and I like the look of the white 'The Mouse' and wondered if anyone was using one and what they thought of it?

For information, I don't want a cordless mouse, and I very much like the ergonomics of the Mighty Mouse. I also don't want a mouse with a crazy number of buttons on it.

Info here

Thanks in advance.

I actually ended up ordering one of these as it was easier to get hold of here.

I've done little else since I had it, a mouse shouldn't need so much maintenance. The MM is a great idea but poorly implemented.

GAH! It's HORRIBLE to use, just like using a PC mouse in the way that it tracks. It's going straight back. Shame...
