Advantages: Excellent features, good build quality, stylish

Disadvantages: cost, weight

As with most apple products, the mighty mouse is stylish and well conceived. A simple oval shape with a single scroll ball in the middle. The mouse does not have buttons to click, like that of the stereotypical mouse, but instead you just push the case down and it clicks. Various features can also be configured in the "system preferences" section, which means you can personalise the mighty mouse for your own personal needs.

The scroller too is very good allowing you to scroll not only up and down, but left and right as well, which is useful when navigating webpages, or using garageband. Also, there are two pressure pads on the side which when squeezed active the "expose" feature allowing you to see all the applications which are open. Adding to the speed of which you can navigate around the apple.

On the downside, the mouse is rather heavy when compared to other wireless mice. However, it is not prohibitively heavy to use. Furthermore, the cost is quite high £48.00 from the apple store, and for those who are short of cash it may be a better option to go for the wired mouse, which is cheaper and lighter or perhaps even looking at other brands of mice.

In conclusion, despite the cost and weight, the mighty mouse is a stylish and well designed piece of kit, and for those who have a macbook they offer an alternative to a trackpad. This said, it is debatable whether it would be worth the expensive upgrade from a wired mightymouse.

Summary: great piece of equipment, worth the high price tag
