Product Overview
Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse
How do you improve on the mouse that has everything?
Remove its tail. Mighty Mouse — the mouse that changed the way you
scroll — has gone wireless. Now you can take that seamless,
touch-sensitive, 360-degree scrolling design with you wherever you go.
No Tail Required
With
its secure, reliable Bluetooth technology, the wireless Mighty Mouse
goes wherever you do. Pair it with any Bluetooth-enabled Mac and
wireless keyboard to work untethered and uncluttered at your desk, or
take your show on the road. Mighty Mouse lightens your load on the go
by operating with either one or two AA batteries. That’ll save you
lugging a bulky dock around.
Laser-guided Precision
The
wireless Mighty Mouse’s tracking engine is based on powerful laser
technology that delivers 20 times the performance of standard optical
tracking, giving you more accuracy and responsiveness on more surfaces.
It works just as well on your office desk as it does on a table at your
favourite coffee spot. So leave the mouse pad at home. Mighty Mouse is
one smooth operator.
Spry and Mighty
In
the beginning, there was one button. Then there were two. Then there
were clickable scroll wheels and programmable toggles and solid-state
slides. But nobody made a mouse as easy to use as your Mac. Until now.
Mighty Mouse combines the capability of a multibutton mouse with
Apple’s signature top-shell design for the best of both form and function.
Use it any way you work: Stick with single-button simplicity or click with multibutton efficiency.
Get Around
Time
is round. Space is curved. Why should your mouse be linear? Plenty of
applications require you to do more than scroll up and down. Mighty
Mouse offers 360-degree scrolling capability, thanks to its Scroll
Ball, perfectly positioned to roll smoothly under just one finger.
Explore the farthest reaches of your files — pan images in iPhoto, view
timelines in iMovie HD and Final Cut Pro, traverse bars in GarageBand
and Logic Pro — with one hand tied behind your back (or holding a cup
of coffee or typing). Mighty Mouse gives you room to roam.
You’ll Really Click
Touch-sensitive
technology under Mighty Mouse’s seamless top shell detect where you’re
clicking, transforming your sleek, one-button mouse into a two-button
wonder. But the innovation doesn’t end there. Apple engineers added
force-sensing buttons on either side of Mighty Mouse that let you
squeeze the mouse, activating Mac OS X Dashboard, Expos‚ or a whole
host of other, customizable features — instantly. Like its namesake, Mighty Mouse puts powerful
precision in a pint-sized package. With all its clicking
capability tucked neatly under the seamless top shell, Mighty
Mouse boasts drop-dead good looks and wireless portability, too.
And then there’s that ingenious Scroll Ball — the
tiniest such mechanism ever used in an input device. No wonder
it’s a wonder.
Have a Ball
Try reading this web page without scrolling. Every day you
navigate through files, email and web pages by scrolling
horizontally and vertically. Now you can do it all with your
fingertip. Mighty Mouse’s Scroll Ball features miniature
sensors that allow you to manipulate what appears on your screen
merely by moving your finger. Scroll up and down to read a long
web page or document. Scroll back and forth to follow a timeline
in iMovie or keep track of a large spreadsheet in Excel.
But getting from point A to point B doesn’t always mean
traveling in a straight line. Take a spin on the mouse
that’s not afraid of kitty-corner. With Mighty Mouse’s
Scroll Ball, you can scroll at a 45-degree angle — even
roll in 360-degree sweeps. Pan across a massive digital image in
iPhoto or Adobe Photoshop. Take in a whole PDF in Preview. The
Scroll Ball moves the content on your screen just as your eyes
might move across a printed page. The Scroll Ball acts as an
extra mouse button too, offering you one of a few clever
clicking options.
The Button That Wasn’t
Alas the fate of the one-button mouse in today’s
multibutton world. Who has time for intuitive, elegant design
when there is so much clicking to do? Thanks to a smooth top
shell with touch-sensitive technology beneath, Mighty Mouse
allows you to right click without a right button. Capacitive
sensors under Mighty Mouse’s seamless top shell detect
where your fingers are and predict your clicking intentions, so
you don’t need two buttons — just two fingers. Click
on the left side to use Mighty Mouse in its simplest,
single-button form. Click on the right to access contextual
menus within applications and edit, copy, label or download from
your mouse. It’s simple sleight of hand.
It Squeezes, Not Squeaks
It wouldn’t be fair to call Mighty Mouse a
two-button mouse with one button. Especially when it responds to
pressure from your fingers in four different places. Besides the
left- and right-click functions, the Scroll Ball clicks down to
act as a third mouse button. And force-sensing buttons on either
side of Mighty Mouse respond when you press in with your finger
and thumb. Perfect for Mac OS X users, the side buttons are
pre-programmed to activate Expos‚, so you can view all your
windows with a squeeze. Of course, you can also customise Mighty Mouse to open whatever
you choose — Spotlight, Dashboard or any application when
you have Mac OS X v10.4.6 or later
