Apple’s iconic mighty mouse now gets a cooler and sleeker look without its connecting wire. With its new laser tracking engine, it’s able to track on surfaces 20 times more sensitive than other optical mice, a great news for Mac designers and gamers (although I don’t think many gamers use Mac).
“We cut the cord on our popular Mighty Mouse to give consumers even more flexibility when using a Mac,” said David Moody, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Mac Product Marketing. “A Bluetooth-enabled Mac desktop with an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mighty Mouse is the ideal cable-free setup at home or in the office, and the wireless Mighty Mouse is the perfect travel companion for the MacBook user on the go.”
Apart from the new bluetooth 2.0 capability, the new wireless might mouse has essentially the same design and customizable side squeeze buttons as its predecessor. I guess Apple knows the rule of “If it ain’t spoilt, don’t fix it”.
The new Apple wireless bluetooth might mouse also boost an advance power management system that switches to low power mode during extended period of inactivity. It uses 1 or 2 AA batteries, and is available for $69 at the Apple Store with free shipping.
