Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse"

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-that-is-freakin'-awesome dept.

TheRaven64 writes "Hot on the heels of the announcement of x86 Macs, Apple announced a multi-button mouse, known as the Mighty Mouse. It appears that the entire surface is touch-sensitive, allowing the mouse to be programmed as a single-button, multi-button or scrolling device."

  1. Re:It isn't touch sensitive, I think by TomHandy · · Score: 4, Informative
    When you tell people to RTFA, maybe you might want to do so yourself? Hell, it's in the opening bolded paragraph:

    "And with touch-sensitive technology concealed under the seamless top shell, you get the programability of a four-button mouse in a single-button design. "

  2. There's a little feedback by pjcreath · · Score: 4, Informative
    It sounds like the clicky noises on the iPod don't do it for you, but they at least did the same thing here. In small print on the side of the design page, it says that "a tiny speaker inside Mighty Mouse produces button-clicking and Scroll Ball-rolling sound effects."

    Not quite as good as tactile feedback, but definitely better than none.
