Based 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.
Customer Review: Pro Mouse for life!
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). The best part is that the inside never needs cleaned. Sure, the outside needs a dusting now and then, but this is a low-maintence mouse. When I buy a new laptop I'll continue to use my old black Pro Mouse on it. No matter how convenient trackpads are, you can't beat a mouse for Photoshop or the web.
Customer Review: Barely worth a look
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 the screen, flick my wrist, and the cursor invariably ends up in the right spot (this has been true for Windows as well as the Mac). However, this mouse doesn't give me that feeling -- the cursor often ends up not going where I want it. That's annoying if I'm just switching between apps or something like that, but if I'm playing Halo, it can be fatal. I find myself turning more and more to keyboard shortcuts instead of using the mouse. Finally, the cord is only twenty-eight inches long, which is absurdly short. Granted, most people who use this mouse will probably be plugging it into a keyboard, and under those circumstances, the length of the cord is less likely to be an issue. However, if you're thinking of plugging the mouse into the back of a tower that's on the floor behind your desk, you need to keep this limitation in mind. The mouse requires no configuration or drivers, and it is hot swappable, all of which is nice but not particularly remarkable these days. The most important feature of a mouse is how natural it feels in response to the motion of your hand, and in this department, the Apple Optical Pro Mouse is one of the worst mice I've ever used.
