Well I just got my brand new Mighty Mouse from Apple. This is Apple's first "2 button" mouse with scroll wheel and programmable side buttons.

I'm not impressed. The mouse doesn't perform well on a white desktop so it requires a mousepad of some sort. The wheel is actually a little rubbery button that, as my coworker put it, "feels like a nipple." It takes some getting used to but seems to function well.

The side programable buttons have a weird feel to them, for me it was difficult to determine if I was "clicking" on them hard enough, or maybe too hard.

The mouse still doesn't have 2 buttons, the solid top area has them underneath the plastic, sort of like a regular G5 mouse but it senses when you've "right clicked".

All in all a pretty disappointing mouse from Apple. I told my coworkers I was going back to my old mouse and they said they had already done so.
