Apple's Mighty Mouse: The Move to Multi-Button

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
Ergonomically, the Mighty Mouse (and the rest of Apple's mice for that matter) is really a hit or miss depending on the size of your hands. Personally, I've never been too happy with the size of the Logitech MX1000, so moving to a smaller mouse is nice, but at the same time, I don't feel that the design of the Mighty Mouse is particularly ergonomic for resting your hand on it for long periods of time. Then again, quite possibly the most ergonomically sound decision that you can make is to not rest your hand on your mouse for long periods of time.

Thanks anandtech, you just saved me $52. I ordered the mighty mouse as soon as I got word of this device, but then read your review and quickly cancelled it online just now.A one button 'two button' mouse? non-ergonomically placed middle squeeze buttons that is really only one button? that's a crying shame. There's no reason why apple needs to make the mouse more complicated than it really is. I'll stick to my cheapo Dell optical mouse that I stole from work. I've had it for a few years now--such that I've worn off the "Dell" logo printed on the surface.

Lift one finger off the mouse to click with the other... that sounds like some serious carpal tunnel effects there. No gaming with this mouse.appu - Friday, August 12, 2005 - link
I don't think so. I've been doing the lift-one-finger-while-clicking-with-the-other routine for as long as I can remember. In fact I feel that I can't generate enough leverage with my middle finger (for the right-click) if my index finger keeps resting on the left button. I tried doing that just now and I believe it'll give me trouble if I keep doing it. But that's maybe because of habit!biya10 - Wednesday, May 30, 2018 - link
I really like this post, it works really good but maybe it's totally different to Razer Deathadder Chroma mouse http://4jags.com/razer-deathadder-chroma-best-gami... . both have a bit different specification. both are works good. I am using both mouse but Razer Deathadder is best gaming Mouse. keep it up thanks for sharing.
