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

i've had the track balls in two mighty mice go bad. i just stopped buying them after the second one

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.

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

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 :)

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.

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

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

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.

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.
- same thing i got and its quite a good piece of machinery.. so far.Iggyboo

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

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

about a year ago i took mine apart and cleaned it. it's been about 3 years since i purchased mine and still working fine.
