Until now, Apple had a cool mouse called the Mighty Mouse with all the advanced features you’d expect from a mouse (right click, scroll weel… even better: multidirectional scrolling ball)… it just wasn’t wireless.
Apple also had a Wireless mouse… but it had only one button! :(
Today, you can finally get the best of both worlds! The mighty mouse with all it’s buttons becomes wireless! Apple has even improved the pointing technology which is now a laser instead of an LED. This should allow for smoother movement on more surfaces…
…except this one little detail: the problem with the Apple wireless mice is not the pointing technology… it is the bluetooth technology! Apple bluetooth is just not reliable any more if you get more than 2 meters away from your Mac. (Home entertainement use… Of course you have less issues on a desktop… but do you really need a wireless mouse on a desktop?)
It seems that the mouse can operate on either one or two batteries. So you might expect it to have more power and greater operating range when you insert a second battery. Unfortunately, I seriously doubt that will be the case. The “old” wireless mouse had 2 batteries already… :-/
Ironically… I think I’ll buy it anyway… yeah, even at 69 €… I just want that thing in my living room! :P
