Mine -used to- squeak. Another forum suggested rubbing the mouse’s belly and sure enough, it worked! I just massaged the bottom (where the serial number is) and the middle (near the apple logo) and that did the trick.
Much easier than an exchange at the store…

Mine squeaks a lot too. This is my second one (took back the first) but I had to get another one because I’m having shoulder surgery next week. So I needed something that keeps me from using both hands at once. Second one squeaks just like the first. Annoying as hell.

I was so very disappointed with this new product. I was told it would be the future – well, its not.
I give it a month before Apple recalls the product and melts them down to make more iPods.

In fact, there should be two of them…
Right-tweak
Left-tweak
that’s it.

I’d much rather say “tweak the nipple.”
Then it would be:
Tweak and hold.
Tweak twice.
…etc.
Much funner in my opinion.

I bought one. I’m an apple snob, and I just couldn’t take seeing that M$ mouse on my desk when I knew there was an apple alternative. It took me about an hour of using it, and now I have come to like it. The side buttons are a little weird. I almost have to pick the mouse up to squeeze it. From the reviews I thought I was going to get a mouse that responded the same way an iPod does, with gentle taps on the buttons and no heavy click. So I thought I’d try it, and if I didn’t like it I’d return it. Turns out the thing clicks just like a mouse otter, AND it looks cool. I like things that look cool. Like my Apple hardware. So I think I’ll keep it, I’ve gotten used to everything but the side squeeze, but I’m getting more accustomed to that, as well. Anybody in the market for a blue Starck M$ Mouse?
PS: I wish I wish I wish it was wireless…that would be cool.

Dan,
Now that you’ve used the Mighty Nipple, er, Mouse for a while, could you perhaps share your experiences with it at this point? Mostly, are you still enjoying it after more thorough, complete use? First impressions (even those after a day or two can still be seen as “first”) are only useful to a certain extent, what matters most is how it performs on a day-to-day usage over tons of days in a row. :-)

i’m surprised no one has mentioned the Kensington trackballs yet. i’ve been using the Expert Mouse Pro for about four years now. It has four fully programmable buttons which can also be used to make “chords.” Application specific sets control its behavior and sensitivity.
i’ve also dabbled using the Wacom tablet as an interface for a computer i was treating as a jukebox, but it was far too awkward to be efficient… at least for me.
Although the Mighty Mouse looks cute and sleek and i’m sure will look great in somebody’s daughter’s bedroom next to her iMac, i’m sticking with my Expert Mouse PRO, thank you very much.

my mouse squeaks.
a most annoying, as you say, plastic on plastic sound.
i’m taking it back to the store.
darn! i like it so much but i can’t record with a mouse that makes noise like this.
