hell freezes over
…and Apple releases a four-button mouse.
The hardware seems very reminiscent of my favorite mouse of all time, the MS Intellimouse Explorer, and the driver software looks pretty well thought out as well. The 360˚ scroll ball could be a truly nifty innovation; hopefully they’ll start bundling this mouse with new desktop macs A.S.A.P. in order to shut certain folks up. And in an odd flourish of Apple design, it has a speaker inside to make noises:
>Mighty Mouse even sounds as good as it feels. The audio feedback built into Mighty Mouse provides an aural sensation that responds to your movements. A tiny speaker inside Mighty Mouse produces button-clicking and Scroll Ball-rolling sound effects.
Intel chips, two button mice; it’s all coming to an head, people. Also a plus: it doesn’t look as much like a robot vulva as some other competing products do.
