Why i hate the apple mighty mouse

I’ve been explaining myself a lot lately for my deep hate for the apple mighty mouse, so here is are a few points on why i hate it.

  1. Scroll wheel gets dirty and is hard to clean
    I have never had a mouse with a scrollwheel before where the wheel needed cleaning. Apple doesnt give any better solution then to hold it upside down and scroll vigorously it with a moisty wet cloth.
  2. Accidental side scrolling
    I want to scroll up and down, not sideways… this messes with Firefox when I’m holding alt or ctrl.
  3. Accidental scrolling when middle clicking
    Makes pastes go wrong. It is also the hardest middle mouse button to press on any mouse I’ve had.
  4. Left click instead of right click and vice versa
    Apple cannot make a mouse which actually registers the right side I am clicking on? I like to hold both fingers on my mouse while clicking, and the mighty mouse uses some weird way of detecting with side is pressed. I have never had this problem with ANY other mouse. How can you fuck up this most basic function?

So, kill the mighty mouse, and use a normal fine working Logitech or Microsoft mouse.

    In my case, I get totally panicked without my mighty mouse. If I can’t scroll sideways I feel caged :]

    I guess it’s all about getting used to things. Also I have trouble typing on a non-Japanese Mac keyboard :]
