The Mighty Mouse... Almost

I decided to get the Apple keyboard and a Mighty Mouse when I was using my MBP17 as a desktop. The keyboard becuase it's pretty small, and the mouse because a buddy of mine used his with work and liked it.

The keyboard is fine. Well, as good as you can hope for for a non-ergonomic keyboard. CTS, here I come... again. The mouse though. Hmm.

I've finally stopped using the Mighty Moose. For two resons.

1. The side "buttons" are just too stiff. I suppose that's intentionally, but I just didn't like squeezing the sides.

2. (This is the killer.) Right click is just waaaay too iffy. Sometimes I'd have to click 4-5 times before my left finger would be elevated enough from the surface of the mouse so as not to register a normal click. Plus, it seemed like my right finger placement was affecting it as well.

Fortunately, my trusty Logitech G5 works a treat. Well, once I installed SteerMouse to get the acceleration under control. And bind the extra buttons. Life is good, now.
