Really, I don't understand what you are talking about. Apple created this mouse because they will sell millions of them. Like notebooks and ipods... It's simple! And everybody will love it.
Of course that always will be a few freakies who prefer a mouse with 20 buttons and for that reasons there are some other brands who develop this kind of 'tools'.

PC lovers will always be in the PC side until they try a mac... (Hopefully that happened to me...)

From my point of view the same happens if you compare the last version of a CASIO watch with a Classic TAG Heuer. Or a Full equipped Renault Clio with a standard MINI Coomper S.

This is my point of view...

I love all these comments about how the Mac is getting a second button. Apple has been supporting multiple button mice for years. Go ahead and take your MS mouse and plug it in.

I either missed it the first time, or am reading too much into it the second time reading it...is there supposed to be a subtle jab in your comment?

Next week apple is set to deploy its newest product....A CAMERA THAT CAN ALSO RECORD AUDIO AND TRANSMIT LIVE VIDEO OVER THE INTERNET!!!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That mouse sucks anyway.
My logitech is already laser and way more comfortable....Oh yea it has a lot more that 2 flipping buttons also.

Awww did all the PC fanboys get their panties in a twist? HAHA

go eat it Apple haters

*looks around*

From where I'm sitting, it looks like you're the only one. No-one else here seems to be having problems.

Ask your doctor about Valium. It may be just what you need.

Amazing comments can a lame novelty cause.

Hey, Look!

It's Yoda's long lost cousin! ;)

WOW, 2 buttons. I've got 6 on mine, plus a wheel.

wow, 6 buttons!

You are the biggest TOOL ever.

You are the biggest TOOL ever.

Hey,

I'm offended!

(My logitech MX518 has 8 buttons. :p)

Funny; my Logitech MediaPlay has 11 buttons. And I love every one. :-)

Nice to see Apple finally caving in and making a normal mouse. I guess they've finally been forced to admit that their user interface skills aren't as good as they used to be.

lol, I was wondering how long it would take you.

Wow, that's amazing, a two button mouse; it only took Apple 3 decades. That's almost as impressive as the Chinese orbiting the earth in that 60's technology space capsule 4 decades later. But PC’s must stay one button ahead of Apple. Now where’s that 11 button mouse???

Here :)

Did I say 11 button mouse?! I meant a 21 button mouse. lol ;-)

Gods...

I keep accidentally hitting the dpi and back-forward buttons on my MX518... I can't imagine the havoc that mouse would create when browsing or playing games.

That is one of the reasons I never bought one. I have always been tempted though...just so I can say my mouse goes to 11.

I have had a Logitech Laser (not optical) mouse for years now( 2000 Dpi) .. It even has a weighting system with small weights in it - which is really great. How is this new? Because Apple has one now? LOL - behind the times guys - Oh and the 2 button style - makes so so much more sexier - LOL

What the hell are you supposed to do with two mouse buttons? This is just over kill by Apple. Just like their laptops have to be twice as hot as everyone else's, their mice have to have twice as many buttons.

And, I didn't even realise you could get mice for Macs. I've just been using the foot pedal controller that it came with

lmao

Ignorance is bliss, isnt it t1nais...

Pretty happy camper, then, ain't ya?

Flaming a joke...

I suppose, if you got nothing but insults and verbal abuse to back you up, anything goes, right?

Out of curiosity, is there any topic you can actually discuss coherently, or is 4th-grade humor the best we can hope for from you?

...I really wish BN would implement an 'ignore' feature.

See, you're feeding him too ;)

what is almost as funny as a apple computer is the aggorgance of the PC user. Come on, Apple is a big word for a Fisher Price computer!! let the 15 users of apple pay thier money and think they are so good.

Did the battery industry invent wireless or was it Hedy Lamarr? Seems like the only good thing wireless does is eat batteries by the box load.

Oh, and Apple is truly funny. "Hey Zaine come here, look at my cool new retro mouse!" Oy.

That's an odd statement. My MS wireless mouse eats maybe 4 AA batteries per year.

Yeah, ditto. I think I've put new batteries in my MS mouse once in the last 1.5 years. I'm actually very surprised that it lasts as long as it does... pretty cool.

Yeah, but they get a lot more use when you're only browsing with one hand.... ;)

Why doesn't Apple use a rechargeable lithium battery? For some reason certain companies (namely MS so far) act like rechargeable batteries in wireless mice are the worst idea ever created. MS even has a statement on many of their boxes for their wireless mice that says something like "Our mice use standard AA batteries so there's no need for a charging station." I think Logitech is the only company that knows what they are doing when it comes to designing mice.

It's a fact that lithium-ion rechargeable batteries don't last as long as standard alkalines do (per charge of course). Also, they're heavier and more expensive.

I think, with how little power the mouse uses, it would actually be more expensive to have rechargeable batteries. ...especially if you chuck the mouse out next year for an upgrade.

Depends on how long you plan on keeping it, I guess.

That's true that rechargeable mice might cost more, but wouldn't Energizer Lithium AA batteries last far longer than Alkaline AA batteries in mice that use disposeable batteries?

Ok, backup:

You said "rechargeable lithium" batteries.

That's what I responded to.

I don't remember you mentioning Energizer Lithium AA batteries. Did I miss it somewhere?

I seriously think he argues sometimes just for the sake of arguing.

My children do that a lot...

Whether it's 4 AA batteries per year or "only" 2, that's still two more batteries going to waste, depositing acid on our earth, which eventually leaks into the ground, and pollutes the ground and water.

Thanks Apple!

How much better are the means for producing AC power? It all comes from some place. Quibbling over it seems a tad silly to me.

My point is that if disposeable AA lithium batteries can last as long as a single charge on a rechargeable lithium battery, which is far longer than a pair of AA alkaline batteries, then why not use rechargeable batteries instead of disposeable batteries?

I'd *much* rather use AC energy from my wall outlets produced by Coal.

That's *so* much better than used battery acid...

Idiot.

To reiterate what he original said, "heavier and more expensive".

Ah, yes, mice with 'LASERS' attached to them.

THIS will help The Apple to...

Shouldn't there be some sinister plan behind this?

mice with frikkin 'LASERS' attached to them.

....fixed that for ya. ;)

Wow, two buttons and wireless!

I'll bet next they'll invent a scroll wheel. Nothing like Apple innovation, huh?

Their corded mouse already has a little nipple you can scroll with.

Charred Corpse Walking....

I hope you've got flameproof threads on, dude.

It's also used to feed the baby Mighty Mice. ;)

But its is a wireless laser mouse, PCs have nothing like this...oh wait, nevermind. ;)

lol

if apple markets correctly to their mindless zombies that they were the first to make more than 1 button mouse and make them wireless and even bluetooth, those "fans" will believe them.

Lol...apple is an amusing company though, if not just for their advertising tactics, very childlike :)

lol

your equally amusing with your comment

LASER, get it??

Ummm... yeah. I think everyone gets it. Apparently, you don't, however.

PCs have had laser mice for over a year.

This is nothing new, I've had the wired version of this mouse for almost a year now, with two buttons, wow indeed ;) And FYI there is already a scroll -ball- that allows me to scroll up and down and omg sideways and 360° too!!! :p

PCs have had laser mice for over a year???

My three year old PowerMac has a laser mouse... so I don't get what you are talking about :p

edit: hrmmm my 1999 iMac has laser too.. I am really missing something here... lol *bangs head on mac* Wheren't macs first to have Laser? then again wheren't they also first to have USB AND first to have Bluetooth too!!! :p
