The Mighty mouse is a very elagant design, no visable buttons on the top and the “squeeze” buttons on the size.
The scroll wheel is a 360 degrees rollerball.

Unboxed
The underneath
and that’s all there is to show really !
I’m still getting used to the mouse, I don’t think it’s as responsive as my PC mouse (however that is a Razor 2000DPI Gaming mouse), but the 360 degree scroll wheel does make up for it.

Well, as planned, we went to the Apple store in Leicester after work today.
If you’ve never been to an Apple store before, then I can highly recommend it. If you asked me to describe what heaven looked like, it would be an Apple store.
We walked though the …… looking for the store as we’ve never venture to …. before. Walked through the carpark, through John Lewis (the store, not a person, LOL)….saw next, new look and the I saw it, no words outside the shop, just a huge 10 foot illuminated apple logo above the door. I swear, it was like seeing a roller coaster for the first time 
(as you can probably tell, this is the first time I’ve been to a Apple store, I know, I need to get out more)
Walking into the store itself, first table had 6 macbooks, all connected to Iphones, next table had MacBook Pro’s both the 15″ and 17″ models all connected to Iphones, all with internet access.
Down the outside wall, there was just a wall of Imac 24″ s (so nearly bought one of them too).
The staff in there were chilled, very chilled, weren’t pushy and really helpful, Very very sweet place !
Anyway, to cut a long ish story short, we walked out of there is a 15.4″ MacBook Pro, a pair of the earbud headphones, a wireless mighty mouse, and a dock for my Ipod Touch

Nope, Apple hasn’t bought the rights to the kids TV show (showing your age if you remember), however it has released the coolest mouse !
The Mighty Mouse is a touch sensitive mouse….I know how cool !
I’m picking one up tomorrow with my Mac, so will let you know how it works.
Below are the details from Apples site
How do you improve on the mouse that has everything? Remove its tail. Mighty Mouse — the mouse that changed the way you scroll — has gone wireless. Now you can take that seamless, touch-sensitive, 360-degree scrolling design with you wherever you go.
No Tail Required
With its secure, reliable Bluetooth technology, the wireless Mighty Mouse goes wherever you do. Pair it with any Bluetooth-enabled Mac and wireless keyboard to work untethered and uncluttered at your desk, or take your show on the road. Mighty Mouse lightens your load on the go by operating with either one or two AA batteries. That’ll save you lugging a bulky dock around.
Laser-guided Precision
The wireless Mighty Mouse’s tracking engine is based on powerful laser technology that delivers 20 times the performance of standard optical tracking, giving you more accuracy and responsiveness on more surfaces. It works just as well on your office desk as it does on a table at your favorite coffee spot. So leave the mouse pad at home. Mighty Mouse is one smooth operator.
Spry and Mighty
In the beginning, there was one button. Then there were two. Then there were clickable scroll wheels and programmable toggles and solid-state slides. But nobody made a mouse as easy to use as your Mac. Until now. Mighty Mouse combines the capability of a multibutton mouse with Apple’s signature top-shell design for the best of both form and function. Use it any way you work: Stick with single-button simplicity or click with multibutton efficiency.
Get Around
Time is round. Space is curved. Why should your mouse be linear? Plenty of applications require you to do more than scroll up and down. Mighty Mouse offers 360-degree scrolling capability, thanks to its Scroll Ball, perfectly positioned to roll smoothly under just one finger. Explore the farthest reaches of your files — pan images in iPhoto, view timelines in iMovie HD and Final Cut Pro, traverse bars in GarageBand and Logic Pro — with one hand tied behind your back (or holding a cup of coffee or typing). Mighty Mouse gives you room to roam.
You’ll Really Click
Touch-sensitive technology under Mighty Mouse’s seamless top shell detect where you’re clicking, transforming your sleek, one-button mouse into a two-button wonder. But the innovation doesn’t end there. Apple engineers added force-sensing buttons on either side of Mighty Mouse that let you squeeze the mouse, activating Mac OS X Dashboard, Exposé or a whole host of other, customizable features — instantly.
