*well, that is, the main white part is one button with sensors, the ball and the crap on the side actually are other buttons now that I think about it

¬.¬ it’s actually a one-button mouse with a sensor that checks if your finger is either (1) on both sides or (2) just the right side. People using it right-handed simply lift their left finger when clicking to produce a right-click, but yeah, it can get a bit weird for lefties.

LOL…yada yada
Always read the instructions before asking lame questions
the mightyMouse uses touch sensors to identify left/right click
it works exactly like your trackpad
the horizontal and vertical scrolls work fine on my windows OS…a great product!

the mighty mouse right clicks perfectly

but only if you click in the righ place

same pooblem here you mighty mouse in windows seems to need bizarre dexterity to get a right click and its unreliable even then, i’d love to have a normal right-click with it in windows or even how to configure the track ball as a right click (in windows) like my mac osx config..

or apple please produce a decent windows driver pleeeease…

Apples Mighty Mouse is a multi-button mouse and you can set here up to what ever you want. Left-click, right-click, even center-click at the litte ball (scrolls 360 degree – vertical, horizontal) and you can squeeze-click here too. This is nothing special, it is just the mighty mouse – that’s why it’s named ‘mighty’.
If you are looking for ‘cntr’-functions try the Apple-botton: Task-manager would be Apple+Alt+Esc
Just like copy and paste would be Apple+C and Apple+V
… and so on!

Hay guys whats all the bother. Just plug in a mouse from windows. but when that window drops down in XP asking ( you are trying to connect USB Hid device to to the virtual machine) just click NO! and your mouse will work as normal.

I get the same problem as Andromeda. When using the Mighty Mouse in XP via bootcamp with the buttons reversed (for left handed use) the right ‘button’ doesn’t register a click unless you’ve got your other fingers raised from the left ‘button’ area. The same set up in OS X works fine, so I think it’s a driver issue. In XP the mighty mouse is just treated as a generic usb mouse and uses the microsoft default driver as far as I can tell. Anyone know where to get a windows driver for the mighty mouse?I need to use XP for my accounting software, and other than this issue I quite like the lightness and ergonomics of the mighty mouse… I do a lot of clicking in photoshop and the clicking mechanism reduces strain on your tendons because you use the weight of your hand (rather than just your digits) to perform the clicking action.

Tim,

Use control-alt-function-delete, in that order.

This is classic! You use a two button mouse on Windows and it behaves as a two button mouse should do on Windows and you think it is Apple that improved Windows – Apple have some good products, but some people wear the Apple blinkers their marketing department give out for free!

I have to reset the pointer speed settings under Mouse in Control Panel every time I boot my BootCamp/XP/MacBookPro. Any fixes for this?

The internal and external iSight camera’s are different things. The internal version uses usb stuff and the external one uses standard firewire stuff and should work on any computer with firewire support fine. If you have an internal iSight you will very likely need to find a driver to get that to work.

I got the Isight camera to work on my IMac intel if you choose to install bootcamp 1.1.2. That version has the additional drivers for Apple built in camera’s

The Apple Mighty Mouse seems like a nice example of what’s good, and what’s not so good about Apple designs. Apple is famous for producing gorgeous stuff that … sort- of-works, but isn’t really ready for prime time. Like the Apple Lisa (first computer I ever bought), Apple Dylan, the Newton – all great products that got dropped just before they were matured to the point of being useful (side note: I’m still curious whether Aperture will end up in this category).

The Might Mouse is clean and elegant. But the right-click – particularly when operating as a left-hand mouse in Windows XP – is very iffy. I find that I have to take my hand right off the mouse, and then click to get a right-click (a normal click when the mouse is left-hand configured).

Oddly enough, I find that the Mighty Mouse is much better at recognising right-clicks under OS X than under Windows XP (when configured as a left-hand mouse): perhasps the OS X driver does some post-processing on the Mighty Mouse signal.

Although I can get the Mighty Mouse to work under Windows XP, it’s ergonomically awkward. I think I’ll buy a Microsoft bluetooth mouse that has “real buttons”. Perhaps it won’t look quite as slick – but all my Microsoft mice simply work. No fuss, no special hand positions – they just work. And ultimately, that’s what I want from a mouse – not for it to look a bit cooler on my desk, but for it to work.

I bought the wireless MightyMouse a week ago, and installed Bootcamp soon after that.
Just so I could play the shooter games like I did on my laptop.

I found out that when you press the sidebuttons (in OS X to get Expose) you go “Back” in explorer and browsers, its great but needs getting used too.

Also the right button is also something to get used too… I think every person rests both fingers on the buttons to have them ready…
Its a very small difference but its there… and you need to adjust to that to have it work :)

I am getting there :P

yeah- you have to lift your left finger off the mouse (at least the area that would be the left button on a normal mouse). works fine then
