Just a quick warning on those that want to use it in WoW

apparently you cannot hold both buttons down at once (as some do for movement in WoW)

take that for what you will if WoW support is a deciding issue

Hehe Vid, you bought one of those? I can't take a mouse seriously that is mainly software dependant as some stuff just won't work as you point out above. I'd much rather have two physical buttons than a touch pad mouse.

Do people really find it easier to push two mouse buttons than to push the W key?

Oh, and thanks for the heads up. I was actually planning to get one because it seemed like a good compromise between a game mouse (lots o' buttons) and a normal-work mouse (simplicity of design), but it sounds like it may not be so good as a game mouse after all.

got mine yesterday, I absoloutly LOVE the scroll ball

but hate everything else about it =/

Mine is going back if it can, or being sold

the hand does not rest comfortably for those that spend long hours on the computer, side buttons are not placed well and are difficult to activate without moving your whole hand

the two front buttons are flakey (but could be worked out with time) and you cannnot press them both at one time (big problem for some gamers)

the whole package does not sit well besides the ball (love that thing)

Figured I would give it a try

Actually just finished a 3 hour session using the MMouse. I like it. I've just got to get used to right clicking with the left finger raised. Mind you it's no diffrent than using my logitech since I use "w" rather than the two buttons to move. I think I'll keep it since I need a good work mouse too. Plus the wife has absconded with the logitech for her PC. *sigh*

Now that I think about it, I usually lift my left finger before I right click anyway. I guess all of Apple's testers are like me.

I'm sure some enterprising person will eventually "enhance" the mouse software to allow for right and left click at the same time to alleviate the "w" pressing syndrome.

I'm a patient man.. That why I waited a whole 15 minutes before collapsing on the ground like the sorry apple-tool that I am and whimpering to the sales person to get me 500 cc's of Mighty Mouse STAT!

Aaahh... new apple hardware.. feels good.
