    I picked this up today, wanted to stay with the apple theme, and Im pretty impressed with it. Very smooth.

    Anyone know how to double click with it? Anyone know any good tricks or settings?

    I also may be adding the Cinema 23 inch in a few weeks. Its like a desktop with the mouse and a cinema!

    Also, what is this no mousepad stuff??? I want a mousepad! Apple doesnt make ANY apparently.

    I'm always amazed when people say they like the mighty mouse. It's totally style over substance. You can't right click without lifting your index finger off the mouse, and being Bluetooth, it has more lag than.... any other mouse I've used in recent memory. But that was just my take on it. ...

    Apple's forte` isn't really mice so if you want a serious mouse then I would suggest something like the Logitech VX Revolution or similar.

    I bought an Allsop mousepad last week at best buy. Almost $20... but it's dang near frictionless.

    Regarding the Mighty Mouse ... it's pretty bad IMHO. I've never been impressed. It needs to have 2 physically separate mouse buttons.

    Find Steve Jobs and start throwing money at him personally. Maybe he'll give you a rock that says "Apple" on it, but has the same or worse function as a PC rock, for double the cost. lolol.

    Yeah I was thinking about getting a mighty mouse but personally I find having to pick up my index finger to right click annoying. i got a microsoft bluetooth mouse and it works fantastically and it comes in a matching silver/aluminum colors :D . It originally wanted me to use a USB bluetooth reciever but after one try I got it to go reciever-less. Lol just a little blurb, enjoy the mighty mouse. I would get one, they look awesome, are well built, and are a guaranteed-to-work product, I just think the right click thing stated above is annoying and I've heard the scroll wheel fills up with crap all the time
