Design of Mighty Mouse is broken. That's the worst mouse I have ever used.

It's probably just the ball getting dirty like others have said. I suggest getting rid of the Mighty Mouse as soon as possible because frankly, it's just junk. I replaced mine with a Logitech MX Revolution and am quite satisfied.

Never had any problem with them breaking however they do seem to run away from me. After the third time leaving mine in an airport I began to just use the track pad.

the rollerball thing on mine broke within a week, and I find the right button works sometimes and not at others. I'm surrently plugging a horrible dell pc mouse into my mac just cos I've gotten so frustrated with the mighty mouse

Mines set up for left and right clicking, and those side buttons. The track pad goes every now and again, but turning it upside down on a piece of paper and rolling it round fixes it, kinda pleasurable seeing all the crap come out, then smearing it on your workmates face. I've had mine for 18months

Its about time they make a multitouch mighty mouse. Or a usb trackpad

I go through those pretty quickly myself. The trackball breaks too easily.

if the track ball stops working, hold the mouse up in the air and while you scroll the ball with your finger blow on it.
done! works just like new..
its just dirt that sits inside

Mines broke too.
But I'm way too cautious to badmouth Apple on a designforum. My cock were once bitten off after, and it hasn't grown back since.

Well when doing intense illustrator work the white mac mouses that are lazer are great i just noticed those springs for the top right clicker went quickly thats all. I'll go back to my cave now haha :)

the trackball always gets a bit krusty... you just have to flick it once and awhile to loosen the crud then you're good for another 6 months

maybe it's not the mouse's fault but instead you're a ham-fisted cromag with the dexterity of a borderline schizophrenic chimpanzee. just saying.

Well I am onto logitech's latest wireless mouse, crossing my fingers this one lasts 12 months.
