Hi Adam, The Mighty Mouse offers a 360° scroll ball (not just an up/down wheel), which is why I like it. I agree that it could have more buttons and should not chew through the batteries like it does. I use rechargables for my wireless Mighty Mice and although they need to be charged often, I am in the habit. Wireless Mighty Mouse seems to have pretty good lifespan with lithium batteries, which I keep on hand for when I am mobile without a recharger. But still not nearly on par with any other brand, I take it.
The thing is, I've never had a great experience using other people's mice, and not even been impressed by the ergonomic shaping, etc., thus I have never overcome the intertia of using the Mighty Mouse. I think the Apple one suits my hands (and I tend to use mice left-handed, too). Although a lot of people have complained that the scroll ball breaks down and cannot be repaired, I use mouse mats and keep my scroll ball clean by spraying with isopropanol periodically, so I don't have the problem that other people seem to have.
