Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse - $69
Some people just don't like using track pads and prefer a mouse for their computer use. Show your Mac user that you understand their deepest needs and spring for an Apple wireless mouse.
Bluetooth technology, ultimate portability
With its secure, reliable Bluetooth technology, wireless Mighty Mouse goes wherever Apple computers do. Pair it with any Bluetooth-enabled Mac to work untethered and uncluttered at your desk or on the go, and it operates with either one or two AA batteries no bulky dock required.
Laser tracking engine
The wireless Mighty Mouse features a laser tracking engine that's up to 20 times more sensitive to surface details than traditional optical technology. That means it can track with precision on more surfaces than ever even smooth or polished surfaces with no mouse pad required.
Innovative Scroll Ball and button
Perfectly positioned to roll smoothly under just one finger, Mighty Mouse's Scroll Ball offers full 360-degree scrolling capability up/down, left/right and diagonally. 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 Mighty 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, Mighty 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 Mighty 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 Through the power of Mac OS X Tiger, Mighty Mouse gives Mac users fingertip access to the special features they love.
