It appears the new iMac has a slightly different Mighty Mouse. Mine all have gray side buttons, but on the new one they're now white:


Also, it looks like all new Mighty Mice now come with white buttons.

Any other differences?

I have an original mighty mouse, and the one that came with my new iMac. I honestly hadn't noticed any difference between them. The slight colour change on the side buttons is all that is different, and even then I didn't know until I saw this post, and checked.

To be honest, I think these mice are rubbish anyway. The scroll ball gets borked within a few weeks of use, and you cant open the things to clean/service them without near enough ruining it. Even more so the wireless version.
The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.

When they said new Mighty Mouse at the release on Tuesday I got hopeful that it might have fixed that ridiculous excuse for right clicking but it seems it's just the exact same mouse in a new shell. Sucks.

I was at my local Apple store yesterday (buying the new iWork & iLife and my wife an iPhone) and the cord for the wired Mighty Mouse on the new iMacs looked a bit shorter to me than the previous iterations.

You guys are a bit harsh on the MM. Sure, you've got to lift your left finger in order to right-click, but that's not a big deal. It makes up for it's deficiencies with complete lack of wires (i.e., bluetooth instead of mere "wireless" base station) and elegant style. Some people will complain about anything.
