Product DescriptionBased on a high-precision optical tracking mechanism, the Apple Pro Mouse won't stick or skip around and you'll never have to clean its cage. The Apple Pro Mouse has no rollers or tracking mechanisms to wear out or clog, and no mouse balls to fish out and clean. Besides all that, there's no distinguishable mouse button. Instead, the entire Apple Pro Mouse is in effect a super-sensitive button - the body pivots up and down to actuate the click mechanism. It even lets you fine-tune the way it clicks, with user-adjustable click tension. The elliptical shape equally accommodates right and left-handed users, and its glass-smooth surface makes it a joy to use.

I first got hooked on the Pro Mouse in 2001 when I got a black one for my iBook. This allowed me to keep one at home and my old hockey puck mouse (which I also like a lot even though others didn't) in my travel bag for the iBook.
From the start I loved the Pro Mouse. When I bought my iMac it came with the white version. It's a very refined pointing device in either black or white (although they don't seem to sell the older black model anymore).

This mouse is aesthetically gorgeous, and the no-button design is pleasing. However, I've tried it on a number of different surfaces, and it has a lot of tracking problems, especially with fine motion. The more I need to do fine motion, the more I experience the same wrist pain reported by others because I try to use my hand to compensate for the mouse's lack of sensitivity.
With most other mice, moving the cursor around feels like an extension of my hand. I look at what I want on ... Read More

This mouse came with my new G4 Computer. I don't like it. I draw a lot with my mouse in general and this does not work for me. I hate the fact that you have to push down the whole mouse to get a click. I found that my wrist gets sore and the mouse is cumbersome and is just not sensitive enough.
It looks really cool, but that's about it.
I recommend the Microsoft Wheel Optical Mouse instead. It's cheap and the shape is very complimentary to your hand. Two buttons and the wheel ... Read More

I agree with most of what is written here: the mouse is stylish, and the single button is not a huge problem. I used this mouse for about a year but it has just stopped working. I think the problem is that the connection between the mouse and the mouse cable is somewhat weak. If you want to get this mouse, be gentle to it, and don't wind the cable around the mouse (for travel/storage purposes) like I did.
Rating: - One Button Beauty
I hear a lot of griping about this being a one button mouse, but for me me it's never been an issue. I actually prefer a one button to a two button with a scroll wheel. Moving my hand from the mouse to the keyboard helps to prevent carpal tunnel by keeping my hand in motion. Also the sleek design of a one button mouse is too good to pass up. Everyone who's seen my mouse agrees it's beautiful. How many other mice can you say that about?
