mighty-mouse-apple.jpgI was one of those people who owned Apple's Mighty Mouse. Ultimately, it drove me incredibly mad that I replaced it with an Logitech VX, until I upgraded the VX to the MX revolutions mouse, which I currently use today. The mighty mouse stunk, it was far from mighty and it needed a refresh bad from Apple - in fact, they should have given all mighty mouse owners a refund. The scroll wheel constantly got stuck and caused a ton of aggravation. The MX mouse from Logitech is a huge time saver for me - it probably saves me 30 minutes per day (compared to the Mighty Mouse).

Today, Apple announced the replacement (a few years later) named the Magic Mouse. Yea, thank goodness they made the apple.com/mightymouse disappear! The magic mouse looks pretty cool. It has the multi-touch features that I have grown to love, built right into it. Plus it looks incredibly sweet.

However, there is one big feature which I can not give up now. I need "quick keys" to open applications on my computer. I live on my Apple Dashboard and I get there using a programmable key on my Logitech mouse. If the Magic Mouse had that, it would make for a really nice alternative.

I have not tested the mouse, but since the scroll wheel is not a physical ball, I doubt it will get stuck like the mighty mouse did.

If you want to buy me a present, I wouldn't mind getting this (hint, hint) but I doubt I would change my mouse to this one. Although, it would be nice for a conference room mouse.
