Apple Pro Mouse: I Bought Two In Hopes They Would Breed...

by Dr_Steph, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Mar 15 '01
Pros: Beautiful, feels great, tracks perfectly, no cleaning of cages
Cons: Try as I may, I can't get them to reproduce
Very soon after I bought my Power Mac G3 (blue and white), I knew I would have to get another mouse. The silly little round poor-excuse-for-a-mouse had to go. I ended up getting a Contour Unimouse to replace it and was reasonably satisfied with this...

The Pros of the Apple Pro Mouse Don't Outweigh the Cons

by quasar Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jul 05 '03
Pros: clear, comfortable, light
Cons: short cord, collects smudges, bright red led, mine broke within 6 months
Before I get too far into this review I should tell you that I use my mice upside down. When I first ...

Born To Be Wild!

by iBen , Aug 27 '00
Pros: BEAUTIFUL, ergonomically sound, improved precision with optical tracking, smooth gliding, ambidextrous, stylish
Cons: Hefty upgrade price, single button, short cord, retains most of the tracking problems associated with every optical mouse

Goodbye hockey puck!

by HawgWyld Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Aug 30 '00
Pros: Best mouse I've ever used; no track ball to get dirty; wonderfully ergonomic; it's purty
Cons: None
I absolutely hate the mouse that came with the original iMac and Mac G3 systems. It was, in a word, something that should have never been designed. I tried to like that little round, awkward, hockey puck of a mouse, but I never could tolerate it.

"Squeek Squeek," Said the Optical Mouse

by Jaywa , Aug 25 '00
Pros: Optical sensor rather than a track ball, beautiful looking, fits easily into one's hand
Cons: Looking at the optic beam hurts one's eyes :)
Good-bye hockey puck mouse, hello optical. After the huge uproar about Apple's older mouse, which came on all the iMacs and G3s, Apple decided to toss it out faster than a Randy Johnson fast ball. Now, standard on every Macintosh computer, comes the...

Sleek & Sophisticated

by Aahz , Feb 18 '01
Pros: Easy cleaning, highly ergonomic, right- or left-handed with ease
Cons: Doesn't handle speed well, short cable
We just installed four new Apple G4s in my store and they all came with these new Apple Pro Mouses. If you're used to the round mouse that appeared with the iMacs, you'll be ready to kiss this mouse. And even if you're used to a traditional mouse the...

Hey! I can see through this thing!!

by Wesley , Oct 27 '00
Pros: Good looks, no moving parts
Cons: single button, short cord, occasional jumps into never-never land
The old iMacs came with the worst mouse foisted upon consumers since the days of the Mac Classic. The new iMacs come with the best mice since the Classic - that is to say, ever.

The optical ProMouse offers, for the most part, unrivaled...

Yee Haw, Shiny Mouse!

by owenzelig , Sep 28 '00
Pros: No Grimy Tracking Ball! Aesthetically Stunning.
Cons: Expensive.
Like many other users of recent Apple computers, I lamented the hockey puck mouse that came standard with my system last year. But, also like other Apple users, I was somewhat used to Apple's oddness -- they're rather like Saab, which builds very good...

Beauty is only skin deep....

by JettaIII , Jul 12 '01
Pros: Pretty....
Cons: rip off
This mouse is beautiful, and thats about the only thing it has going for it.

Appearence:
The forte of this mouse. It looks like it was made of one piece. It doesnt have traditional buttons, rather the entire mouse acts as a button and...

'Tis no ordinary mouse..

by Drenin , Aug 28 '00
Pros: PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY! simple, ergonomic, good for both left and right handed people.
Cons: price, BRIGHT light, can not move the mouse too fast or the sensor gets confused.
Mention the hockey puck apple mouse to any seasoned computer user and you'll most likely hear groans. No one can debate that as an efficient, ergonomic mouse, the Apple USB "hockey puck" mouse did not cut it. However, now there's a reason to...

Cool Mouse

by bdb55 , Mar 23 '01
Pros: Ergonomic, looks great, comes with all Macs
Cons: Expensive if bought without computer
My Apple pro optical mouse came with my iMac DV SE. I use the mouse every day and really like it. It is a HUGE improvement over those tiny colored mice that came with the old iMacs and G3's. They were too small for your hand and had a weird button. ...

A definite upgrade!

by kkrays , Jan 29 '01
Pros: Great style, optical technology, adjustable tension
Cons: Only one button, no wheel, rapid movement may confuse the mouse
Apple fans can finally rejoice at the coming of optical mouse technology and the going of the old "hockey puck" mouse! The Apple Pro Mouse uses optical technology, which means that it uses a laser beam and a tiny digital camera to track your mouse...

Good-looking Greatness!

by DJC750 , Oct 06 '00
Pros: Sleek, Smooth, Accurate, Does Not Clog, Easy to Use, Adjustable Click Pressure
Cons: Can Skip if Moved too Fast, Can Skip On Shiny Surfaces
One of the major gripes that people had when the "new" apple computers started to come out, was the rather lacking mouse. This "hockey puck", was not only small, inconvenient, and made so it was hard to tell where the button was, but...

The Perfect Optical Mouse

by dponimac , May 04 '01
Pros: Accurate, ergonomic, very stylish!
Cons: Expensive when not bought with computer
I got the Apple Pro Mouse with the purchase of my iMac DV in August 2000. It is a very good mouse, especially compared to those mice that used to come with the older G3s that were too small, had a small click button, and were not optical.

My Holy Grail

by CosPalpatine , Jan 03 '01
Pros: Stunning design, great tracking, feels good
Cons: Cord feels small
When I first bought my aging iMac DV, it came with the infamous "Hockey Puck" mouse. Although I didn't mind the shape it as much as some people did, it did seem to get fouled up by dirt an awful lot.

When Apple released the Pro...
