Mighty Mouse puts powerful precision in a pint-sized package. It has more clicking functions than you would think, and an ingenious scroll ball that lets you scroll in any direction, not just up and down. It's an optical, elliptical sensation.

Have a ball

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, 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. 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.

No problems navigating

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, or 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.

Where's the button?

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 Tiger users, the side buttons are pre-programmed to activate Exposé, so you can view all your windows with a squeeze. Of course, you can also customize Mighty Mouse to open whatever you choose — Spotlight, Dashboard or any application when you have Mac OS X Tiger v10.4.8 or later.
