Advantages: accurate, pretty to look at, good battery life

Disadvantages: un-ergonomic, feels a bit cheap, expensive

I like this mouse, because it is an apple mouse, which is a totally stupid reason for liking something, and I realise that.

Part of me bought this, because it looks nice, and will go perfectly with my macbook which has bluetooth built in, and I would still buy it for these reasons. The mouse is smooth and easy to control, however the central button feels a bit cheap, and is not very apple. It looks nice, but it is not nice to hold. It's like replacing your existing mouse with a pebble, its not very ergonomic and therefore not a joy to use.

On the other hand, the energy it uses appears to be low. I use the mouse for maybe 2 hours a day and the battery lasted about 9 months (it was supplied with an Energiser Lithium).

I got it because I thought I wouldn't like using the tracker pad, but as it turned out I got used to the tracker pad and now use the mouse less and less. Maybe because, dissapointingly, its not that brilliant.

Summary: Buy this mouse, but know its limitations - I hope Apple upgrade it soon though.
