Ok, so I ordered a new iMac (waiting paitiently...) to replace my old one. I went with the wireless keyboard and mouse option to get rid of the wireless clutter. I bought a MX Revolution about 6 months ago. What do you guys think? Should I keep my MX Revolution and just keep the Mighy Mouse in its box until I decide to sell the computer and upgrade again or make a few bucks on ebay and sell my Revolution?

Mate - keep the MX and sell/ditch the Mighty Mouse. It's only a matter of time before something goes wrong with the little nib on the MM in my experience (and that of others).

The MX on the other hand is a beast of a mouse. I love mine. Logitech Control Centre's a bit rubbish, but there are others out there (Steermouse and USB Overdrive) that work well. Steermouse has had a slightly better reception here with the MX here from memory).

A mater of taste, to me mice like the MX and most ones from MS are too big… a pity the wireless Mighty Mouse is so expensive, I would buy one in a heart beat if it wasn't that expensive… 69 EUR (that is US $102 !!) is just silly…

Running a small alcohol wipe across the scroll ball fixes mine right up if it starts to stick. Takes two seconds and hasn't yet failed to fix any problem.

I would keep the Mx and sell or keep the Mighty Mouse as a spare/backup mouse.

MX Revolution is waaay better...I would keep the MM as a backup but that's it. I can't stand the MM...I'm using a Razer Pro atm, ~$60 in change at the Apple Store.

I I'd use the Rev and keep the MM to sell later. The MM is find if you ONLY want a two button mouse. If you're like me, that's just wya to few. I have an old Logitech MX700 that keeps on working for me. Fwd/Back, left and right click, and 3 buttons that I have mapped to 2 Expose funtions and dashboard. I'd be lost without it.
