Apple Introduces Mighty Mouse
After years of speculation, Apple has finally introduced a multi-button mouse specifically designed to work with OS X Tiger.
Dubbed Mighty Mouse, the new input device has an optical sensor, touch-sensitive pads instead of moving click parts on the top, a 360 degree Scroll Ball, and force-sensitive side buttons that can be programmed by the user.
The mouse has a price point of $49 and is available immediately from the online Apple Store.

Very impressive! I never thought I'd see Apple release a 2-button mouse, but today is the day! The thing looks sweet too, well done on Apple's design team.
I like the 360 degree scroll feature too, and the fact that this mouse can do so much yet is so clean in its design.
A couple questions though:
- is this going to start shipping with new Macs?
- is this only Tiger compatible? If so, why wouldn't it work in Panther?
Regardless, thumbs up Apple! :cool:

That is the coolest mouse I've ever seen. And the name is awesome. Only one problem. NO BLUETOOTH VERSION :(. I Don't know why they wouldn't make one, it being so cool.

I really hope this ships with new macs....
As for Panther compatibility...
The actual mouse should work fine, but you won't be able to program all the cool buttons like you can with 10.4.2

Wohoo!!!!
But I want more! What about a Bluetooth version?
(Kind of serious there....it would be reall cool for school. From the looks of it, you can use that scroll sphere to navigate the mouse on the screen, if you so desired.)
