Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple Wired Mouse
Customer Review: Funky outdated trackball technology.
Summary: 1 Stars
This mouse trackball is very easily gunked up and is VERY difficult to clean. The mouse does NOT open, so you have to rub the trackball with a moist rag for what seems like an eternity to clean it. Apple recommends plain water, but only alcohol or 409 can do a good job. This process is required about every week, or more often if you have kids.
Like a lot of Apple products it is pretty but lacks some of the most obvious functional requirements, like ease of cleaning.
It is an unnecessarily high-maintenance item. Other manufactures have scroll wheels that have sensors on the side of the wheel, not on the tread where all the body oils, dirt and dust accumulate. So the technology has improved considerably over the years. Why would Apple revert to such a problematic feature? If you remember mice from the 80's you can recall the bottom trackball that would fill with dirt and make the mouse act erratically. At least back then you could open the mouse, remove the ball for cleaning, and also clean the rollers inside the mouse.
If you can live without the side buttons, just get a Logitech LS1 mouse for $10. That is what I did to replace this expensive mouse.

You can scroll long web pages, pan full-size images, maneuver around large spreadsheets, control a video timeline and more. And you can even click the Scroll Ball to access your favorite Mac OS X features such as Dashboard, Spotlight or Expos?. |  | Touch-sensitive top shell It looks and feels like a sleek one-button mouse, but the Apple Mouse's smooth top shell hides a powerful secret: touch-sensitive technology under the shell detects which part of the mouse you're clicking, so you can both left-click and right-click. And if you prefer the simplicity of a classic one-button mouse, the Apple Mouse is up to the task. Just use the Mac OS X system preference pane to configure it how you want. |
 | Force-sensing side buttons When you give the Apple Mouse a squeeze, force-sensing side buttons can be configured to activate Mac OS X features such as Dashboard, Expos? or a whole host of other customizable features. |  | Customizable If you have Mac OS X, the Apple Mouse can give you fingertip access to the special features you love.
