Product Description
Perfectly positioned to roll smoothly under just one finger, the Apple Mouse's Scroll Ball offers full 360-degree scrolling capability, up/down, left/right and diagonally. You can scroll long web pages, pan full-size images, maneuver around large spreadsheets, and control a video timeline and more. And you can even click the Scroll Ball to access your favorite Mac OS X features such as Dashboard, Spotlight or Expos .
It looks and feels like a sleek one-button mouse, but the Apple Mouse's smooth top shell hides a powerful secret: touch-sensitive technology under the shell detects which part of the mouse you're clicking, so you can both left-click and right-click. And if you prefer the simplicity of a classic one-button mouse, the Apple Mouse is up to the task. Just use the Mac OS X system preference pane to configure it how you want.
When you give the Apple Mouse a squeeze, force-sensing side buttons can be configured to activate Mac OS X features such as Dashboard, Expos or a whole host of other customizable features.
If you have Mac OS X, the Apple Mouse can give you fingertip access to the special features you love. Simply use the system preference panel to configure the Apple Mouse in the way that makes you most powerful. Control the Scroll Ball's tracking and click functions, as well as the right, left and side click functions. And you even can set up different mouse profiles for every user account on your Mac.
Powered by a precision optical sensor, the Apple Mouse provides responsive and accurate cursor movement on almost any type of surface no mouse pad required. PC with an available USB 1.1 or 2.0 port; Windows XP or Windows 2000

 It could've been the best mouse ever July 23, 2010
R. Jett (Washington, D.C.)
The mouse is great. Compared to other mice I have tried the Apple mouse is well sized for my hand. After two years of use I have only one complaint and that is the scroll ball. After a couple months of being new it definitely begin to get degrade. I followed Apple's cleaning suggestion (turning the mouse upside down and rolling the ball vigorously on a smooth surface) and that seemed to make it better for a little while. After about a year and 10 months it completely stopped scrolling down. I did more research and found that there is no easy way to open this mouse. You have to actually break the bottom ring off from the main body where it was glued on at the factory. This mouse was never designed to be serviced by a user, or anyone for that matter. Apple wants you to chuck it and buy a new mouse. That's the bad part about this mouse. That's the part that makes me despise Apple and never want to buy another one of their products. Anyways, if you do end up with this mouse and it breaks, you can find guides to fix it online, but it won't be easy because it wasn't designed to be repaired. It can be done though.

 How did they manage to make such a bad mouse July 7, 2010

I cannot tell you how happy I was at replacing this tank of a mouse. After giving the beast a good 6 month trial, when it came packaged with my Mac, the constant cleaning of that little track ball of a scroll wheel, and the vice grip needed to push the side buttons, and the constant miss-right clicking of items that I meant to just left click on; I am over joyed that I finally got fed up enough with purchasing canned air every week to invest half the cost of this thing in to a 12 dollar refurbished logitech lx7 wireless mouse.
I honestly didn't know how hard I was working at working on my computer. The difference is like night and day. The difference could be compared to driving your car versus pushing your car. I'm actually going to save the 14" corded oddity though, to hang as an ornament on my Christmas tree, as one of the worst designs to come out of a company that wasn't going in to bankruptcy, in a long time. I honestly think that the mice with the ball underneath are about equal in frustration generation as this model.

I got this as a present for my Dad. I love Apple's new magic mouse, but he really wanted the wired mouse. If you're going for a wired mouse, this is a good buy.
 Trackball issues too huge to ignore June 10, 2010
Nicholas D. Klemetson (West Saint Paul, MN, USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Overall this mouse has interesting functions, but it is quickly becoming old fashioned and antiquated. The main problem is, as other reviewers mentioned, the trackball can easily get very dirty and cease to function. Mine currently scrolls up but not down. I'm on my second mouse, which I replaced the first with because of the same problems. I've had this one for about six months. It cannot be disassembled, so it is very difficult to clean. The overall design of this mouse is several years old as well, and is in drastic need for an overhaul. It is currently too expensive for it's features. Hopefully Apple releases an upgrade to this mouse soon at the same price point. $49 for this mouse is way too much.
