Mighty Mouse becomes bluetooth and laser based

Mighty Mouse

Three mice are sitting at a bar in a pretty rough neighborhood late at night trying to impress each other about how tough they are. The first mouse orders a scotch, gulps it down and slams the glass on the bar. He turns to the second mouse and says, "When I see a mousetrap, I lie on my back and set it off with my foot. When the bar comes down, I catch it in my teeth, bench press it 20 times to work up an appetite, and then make off with the cheese."
The second mouse orders two shots of bourbon, slams them down and nearly breaks the glasses on the bar. He turns to the first mouse and replies, "Yeah, well, when I see rat poison, I collect as much as I can, take it home, grind it into a powder, and add it to my coffee each morning so I can get a good buzz going for the rest of the day."

The first mouse and the second mouse then turn to the third mouse. The third mouse lets out a long sigh and says to the first two, "I don't have time for this bullshit. I gotta go home and screw the cat."

I posted my review on the Mighty Mouse Bluetooth, just got it this morning, its great!

I would like a bluetooth, 2-button mouse that is:

a) TRULY cordless. As in it does NOT require any sort of receiver/cradle. If the mouse requires me to plug a cord into my computer, then it is not truly cordless. Period.
b) Laser would be nice.
c) Not fugly. I count "extreme gaming, blue-LED style with weird camo-texture for now reason" as fugly

My options, as far as I know

a) Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse
b) Logitech® V270 Cordless Optical Notebook Mouse for Bluetooth®
c)Microsoft® IntelliMouse® Explorer for Bluetooth™

So let's see. The Apple one is the only laser model. It is also the best-looking of the bunch (Logitech looks okay in silver, IntelliMouse looks like some weird robotic beetle). Finally, I'm currently using a standard Apple Bluetooth mouse and the ergonomics are fine.

Are there any other options meeting the above criteria that I'm missing? If not, it seems like the Apple Wireless Mighty is my best bet.

After two months on my Macbook Pro without a mouse, I've grown accustomed to using my trackpad so I doubt I'll be shelling out $70 for this late-comer. I like the fact that you can already scroll in any direction and "right-click" with two fingers. On top of that, my hand doesn't have to leave the keyboard very far behind to use it.

On the front page of the UK Apple Store, it says "Free Shipping". But when you go through & buy it, Apple add £4.50 shipping ;-(

as my good friend said, the cord on my mouse keeps me from throwing it. I'll stick with the corded for now.

.... and the winner is:

8. I'm not sure that picture of the mouse is big enough.

Personally, I love the MM. It took me a short while to get used to it, but now I'm a fan. I love the scroll ball - I much prefer it to a scroll wheel. I'm waiting for my new BT-equipped iMac to be delivered and the BTMM will be added as soon as it is released in Australia.

When Apple going to release a usable mouse? I can't understand why any adult would buy this when there are a hundred better products for the same cost or less.

ADB Mouse II is the only one I really ever got on with.

Hey Guys, just to let you know that the wireless MM is now avaliable in the UK- don't know about student discount though (I'm not at Uni at the mo).

I have to agree with Justin, however- I don't ever rest my hand fully on my mouse, with only one finger operating a button at a time. The MM is fine, but like every other piece of kit you have to look after it. I think they are brilliant, and it is easier to jsut buy rechargeable AA's and stick them in a universal recharger: one plug not six!
On the flipside though, my Logitech rechargeable mouse does the whole recharging cradle/real AA's, which is kinda neat.

All in all, I've been waiting for this for ages. At least it's there if you want one.
