Apple = awesome
Windows = FAIL

Noisy mouse buttons, noisy and physically irritating scroll buttons have always bugged me to no end. Just try to find a truly silent mouse! None of the big name mouse makers have been smart enough to figure that out!

Gimme a mouse that makes no noise! I compute a lot late at night when small noises seem amplified against the quiet.

I've been looking for a truly silent mouse for many years.

But, do I have to pay 70$ for one?!
It shouldn't have to be so high techy - just a simple optical that makes no noise!

Is MS or Logi or ... listening?!?!!!

Hey that's the first thing from apple I might consider getting. On the other hand I don't know if i can part with my forwards and back thumb buttons or the mouse speed controls on my 7 button awesomeness.

i dunno, i still like the scroll wheel on my mouse.
but it seems to be only me now, haha

I am happy to report that my last mighty mouse held up until now, so I can finally have it put asleep by the mouse butcher; whilst the almighty mousegod will hopefully soon bless me with a new, fresh, young virgin mouse.
Oh dear, I can't wait to let my fingers scroll down on her smooth back ...

(or at least, until the next Apple release)

I don't know about this. I could imagine accidentally scrolling around when you rest your fingers on it and move the move somewhere.
There are plenty of mice without a noisy scroll wheel.
And besides. You're still clicking which makes noise.
Props to Apple and Microsoft for coming up with ideas like this though.

I read over other people's comments and whoa are some of you guys Apple fanboys or what

PC's are better gaming machines, but of course that's just my opinion. I'm not against switching over to Apple, but it would have to cater more to the gaming community, and all games would have to have the option of being available to Apple. When that day comes, I'll consider it.

I have the current Mighty Mouse and while the scroll ball can get gunked up, especially with sweaty hands, I like it just fine. I used the new Apple Magic Mouse at the Apple Store this weekend and I really like it. Of course I like the whole new iMac that comes with a wireless keyboard and the new Magic Mouse. I can hardly wait to upgrade from my Mac Mini to the new iMac. Then I'll use the Mac Mini to stream video to my television. I'm not an Apple "FanBoy" as some may say, I just enjoy good products working the way they should and having a pleasant computing experience. For those of you who oppose Apple products at every turn, try purchasing one, giving it a chance then make your decision. Don't spew your negative opinion about products you've never used.

it looks like a good idea but i cant pass my true opinion until i give it a whirl

As a film editor, I have never had a mouse that was so nice to use. Everything is smooth, I love it. Before I got mine I thought it would have a lot of problems but it really didn't I love this thing. It makes all the mice I always thought were the best shitty.
