Hi fellow WAMUG members
The renewed comments on the positives and negatives of the Mighty
Mouse, have drawn me to add my two bob's worth.
Just before Christmas I bought my current iMac, and had the wireless
keyboard and wireless Mighty Mouse bundled with it. Having never used
wireless components before I found the change to be almost life-
changing, as did the cats (no more cords to kill). I have to say I
absolutely still love the keyboard, however I have recently retired
the Mighty Mouse, after about 4 months of use. While I have really
enjoyed using the Mighty Mouse, I found that I'm lucky if I get 3 - 4
weeks between battery changes. This makes for a very expensive little
toy, so it has graciously been retired.
On a positive note, however, I would like to say a very big thank you
to Matt, whose post "Bad, bad, mouse" (WAMUG list 4/4/08), suggested
an excellent alternative mouse. Matt recommended the Logitech VX
Revolution notebook mouse as an alternative. This mouse only takes
one battery, and I have now been using it for about 3 weeks (with no
evidence that it is about to need replacement). On the law of
averages, this mouse is already lasting longer than the MM. It is
also very light and easy to use (particularly with a 24" screen).
I do hope that Apple addresses the short life-spam issue sometime in
the future, however for anyone looking to buying a new wireles mouse,
do give this one a go.
I'll now get off my soapbox.
Thanks again Matt, and to other invaluable advice and information
provided by such wonderful people on this list.
Regards
Rosie
