Alternative to Wireless Mighty Mouse?

[Michael Brian Bentley]

I'm happy with using wired mice. I've bought a variety of mice, 
including the wired Mighty Mouse. I even used to buy Microsoft mice 
before deciding that their mice just wasn't as good as those from 
other manufacturers.

I thought wireless mice would be the bomb, but I keep hearing people 
having troubles with them that I never have with wired mice, so I've 
not switched.

The one annoying flaw that all recent vintage wired Apple mice have 
is that the wire gets caught underneath the mouse just in front of 
where it contacts the tabletop, and thoroughly jams free movement for 
a moment. I found this so annoying I stopped using them. Obviously, 
wireless Mighty Mouse shouldn't have this particular problem.

I've been buying Logitech mice. The 30-35 dollar ones seem to do the 
job very well.

Apple has put out some remarkably senseless mice during the last 
fifteen years or so. I remember when Apple's ball-based mice actually 
worked for me: the ball was heavy, it didn't clog up with cruft, and 
tracking would appear to work no matter what. Then Apple 
re-engineered things, and the new ball-based mouse clogged up and 
stopped tracking regularly.

Then that puck-shaped nasty thing came out with the iMac.

We automatically replace whatever mouse Apple supplies, and have been 
doing so for a decade. If Apple wants us to stand by their mice, they 
should spend some time and effort to engineer something that works.
