I'd like to devote this thread to everyone's favorite little rodent: the mouse.

The mouse was, of course, invented back in the 60s, after it was decided that head mounted devices could lead to sever neck straining and looking like an idiot. The simple idea was to have a multi directional pointing device that makes the person to computer interface more simple.

I myself have had many mice. I've had big teal mice, little black mice. I've had mice with long tails and even a mouse without a tail.

So here we are, a thread about your love of mice, any questions about mice, problems with mice, your favorite or least favorite mice.

So I'll give it a start. I'm a lover of all things Apple....usually. I've had the wireless Mighty Mouse for a few months, and I've found it to be very disappointing. While the battery life and look are more than satisfactory, the 360 degree scroll wheel gives out on a regular basis, probably because a particle gets stuck in there, and the right click stopped working almost altogether. Considering I spent $70 on the thing, I'm not thinking of replacing it with another Mighty Mouse. Soo....I'm looking for a really good bluetooth mouse that has right and left click, a scroll wheel that would hopefully be close to an equivalent to the scroll ball (only it works), and something that looks nice.

Anyone have any ideas for me? Or does anyone else want to talk mice?
