Engadget Review Of The Mighty Mouse
August 3, 2005 | In: General, Peripherals
I’ve been avoiding posting about the new Mac Apple Mouse because I’m not a Mac user and quite frankly, all this hoopla about a mouse is tiresome (to me at least). However, one of the most intelligent, informed and unbiased reviews I’ve found so far is this one from Engadget. They say:
The side buttons, though, are really where Mr. Trouble hangs around. First, they are a bit counterintuitive in that they both activate the same function; the multiple placements accommodate lefties and righties. The buttons are also a bit stuff. While they can be activated with the thumb with a bit of effort, Apple suggests squeezing the mouse. This, however, results in an uncomfortable tightening of the hand muscles or reorienting of one’s hand for a stronger grip. Simply making the side buttons easier to press with the thumb would save the day.
If Apple decides to make Mighty Mouse standard equipment, it will lower yet another barrier for would-be switchers from Windows. As an aftermarket product, it holds its own. It may not work as well on the sea as on the land, but it gets the situation well in hand.
