    Wanted to buy a Mighty Mouse, but everywhere I look the prices are different. Struck me as odd for a company that is notorious for standardized pricing...until I noticed that all the model numbers differed!

    Are these substantively different? Which one should I buy?

    Hm, that is odd, there is only one Mighty Mouse model (its not like there's a low-end and a high-end...). I would just buy the cheaper one :p.

    It is common that Future Shop randomly has minor Apple sales, if that's what surprised you. Sometimes they have $50, 100 off MacBooks!

    The mighty mouse sucks. I wouldn't pay $5 for it let alone $60. If you want a good mouse, get a Logitech. I have an mx518 for $25 and its great. Seriously, the mighty mouse is like the most horrible mouse I have ever used...

    Apparently, all you have to do to fix them when they clog up is to roll the ball on a white piece of paper, until it's completely un-colgged.
    As said before, this isn't a first hand expeirence,
