I've heard that the little "nipple" has a bit of trouble with "dirt." blush laugh

I'm told rubbing it wheel-down across good quality plain paper cleans it up well. Oh, and you're supposed to hold your breath, and...

slightly damp cloth works better than plain paper - but yeah, the MightyTurd is a problematic mouse. In fact, the MightyUncomfortable is probably the 2nd worst Apple mouse ever (behind the hockey-puck mouse).

Interesting.. I like it. Except for when the nipple gets all "sticky".

Actually, I do like the mouse too. It's that darn scrolling wheel that sometimes doesn't work that gets me.

I never like that mouse , plus being a big boob guy , ahh I mean likes big boobs - I would prefer a larger nipple if you know what I mean. Maybe even a joystick . That small ball just don't feel right

I like that scrolling wheel myself, but like others have said, the dirt problem is a deal-breaker. And so is the lack of multiple buttons as I've gotten so used to 5 buttons on a mouse. In this case, I find Apple to be a huge bonehead, even though the scrolling wheel itself is a mighty innovation, it would be better, if it was larger (to help with the dirt problem) and the mouse had more buttons on it. Yeah, I know it kind of has more buttons, but I hate it when I'm doing something critical and all of a sudden it thinks I squeezed the sides...

Anyone know if Apple is going to introduce a “multi-touch” mouse in the near future? I loved my wireless Mighty Mouse while it lasted, but the scroll wheel just stopped working in one direction. I cleaned it in all the usual ways, but when I tried to disassemble it, I broke it. I would LOVE a totally non-mechanical mouse. It's time!
