The Mighty Mouse Has Lost Its Tail

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the evolution-removing-another-tail dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It's all over the place - Apple has just released a Bluetooth version of the Mighty Mouse for $69. It features a new laser based tracking system and gets it power from either one or two (you decide) replaceable AA batteries, but does not work with Windows yet (no words on Linux)."

    * Too small and painful. I have pretty small hands, but the MM is still too short. My hand was falling off the back and causing me to adopt an awkward position.

    It's the same size as Apple's Pro mouse, which they've been shipping since about 2000 or so (it's gone through a couple of minor revisions, but the same basic size/shape). It works for most people.

    * Cable is ridiculously short. Fine with a Mac keyboard, but no good without an extension cable in most other configurations.

    Did you happen to notice this article is about the new Bluetooth version?

    Personally I won't buy one because I can't right-click without lifting my left finger.
