Ok, over the years it has gone without saying that mac mice sucked really really bad. I've been using a Logitech Mouse for the past few years that has worked perfectly and recently it just fritzed out on me. It only cost $20 and was great.
Due to fritzing I've had to use the mouse that came packaged with my iMac and holy crap is it ever terrible. The rollerball thing doesn't work and I can't click on the "right mouse button" .
After coming to expect superior products from Apple (I know this can be debated) I can't understand why their mouse design has to be so terrible.

if they would fix the little trackball thing it would be okay.

I disagree.
I love the apple mouse, but then again I've been using that same style of mice for probably 8 years now, so I'm used to how it feels, and it works for me. Some people use track ball, some use pen tablets, etc. It all comes down to how do you like it as a tool.The truth is that a windows mouse, or a mac mouse won't make your work better or worse, that is all you.
(tip, if the scroll ball doesn't work, hold the mice upside down, blow air on the scroll as you move it with your finger, magic! now it works as new.)
- damn that did work on the trackball. Thanks.scrap_paper
- see?

and regarding superiority of apple products..
that can be dabated as you say.. their products are coming down in quality if you compare them to where they were 6 - 8 years ago.The only reason most people use macs, is because of their operating system (of course the hipster new comers love how they look in front of it when their faces are reflected on their glossy screens).

PC mice usually have a segmented or incremental track wheel.
It's like a more expensive diving watch with a clicking bezel, allowing for more exacting work.- very few do, most are poor quality, not just on the scroll but all around.Meeklo

Mac mice suck...the only thing good about the mighty mouse is the horizontal scroll.
I slam mine on my desk alot.

yeah its strange, you would think that after all these years of having people ridicule their mice, apple would actually listen and think about addressing the issue.

I've found Microsoft actually makes the best mice that I've used. One spot where MS is vasty better than Apple.
