The mouse is definitely dead. I killed it and replaced it with a thumb-track ball ages ago. It's absurdly bulky, but it is almost always in my laptop bag. The trackpads on the Mac laptops are indeed nice to use, but it's still nicer to have a dedicated device for manipulating the mouse. And if I'm going to carry around a dedicated device, I want something with tangible feedback.
