I have used, extensively, every single mouse Apple has ever released. Including the very first mouse for the Lisa and original Macintosh. Every single last one of them is terrible. Some were so terrible it boggles the mind (the hockey puck, shudder). Before the optical mouse, it always amazed me that Apple mice tended to gum up and get clogged far more than any other brand. When Microsoft first released their first optical mouse (was it the very first optical mouse? I don't know, but it was the first one I knew of. This was about '98 or so) I eagerly paid the $80 for the behemoth (the thing was huge). Not having to deal with an Apple mouse getting clogged all the time alone made this mouse worth it, nevermind actually having more than one button. People always point out the magic mouse. I hate it just as much as any other Apple mouse. I have a magic mouse about 2 feet from me as I type this. It seems like Apple can never get everything right. The Magic Mouse is fine on the top side of it, but the bottom has so much friction that moving it around on the desk is a stuttery, frustrating chore. Interestingly, I've always found Microsoft makes the best mice. My current favorite is the Arc, which is meant to be a travel mouse, yet I use it as my daily mouse. The whole "Apple can do everything right except mice" and "Microsoft often gets things wrong, except their mice" thing has always boggled my mind :)
