ArsTechnica has posted a first look at Apple's Mighty Mouse, a new corded, four-button mouse released yesterday. The review notes that the mouse offers aural feedback via the Mac for the "subtle clicking sound" as you roll the scrollwheel and the "faint click" when squeezing the mouse, while the mouse click is generated from the mouse itelf. "When all is said and done, all of the the Apple PR on the Mighty Mouse product page is a bit much. As a poster in the Mac Ach succinctly observed, 'this thing isn't as revolutionary as one may think. It's just nice to have an Apple mouse with a frickin' scroll button and right click.'" The author concludes that Apple should package the Mighty Mouse with new Macs, but notes the short cord, lack of wireless Bluetooth connectivity, and poor posiitioning of side-buttons as cons. (AppleInsider and DetroitMac have also posted detailed reviews.)
