Apple Mighty Mouse sensitivity increase

Hello,
I have Macbook with bluetooth Mighty Mouse (latest model) and it works slowly for me. I mean sensitivity (tracking), which I have set to highest level, but cursor still moves very slow against my PC experience (I hope you understand me, I am not native english:) Is there any way how to increase sensitivity (tracking)? Straight in Leopard, or with some other software?
Thanks

After some googling, I found program Steermouse that solves it, but it is shareware. As freeware exists iMouseFix, it improves acceleration bit but still not so good...

Apple Mighty Mouse problem

I bought a Apple Mighty Mouse for my MacBook and now when I'm moving the cursor it instantly appears in another position that has nothing to do with the positioning I'm moving it. Do you know why this happens? Can you help me?

If its the wireless Mighty Mouse, I had problems with tracking, too.
(Also right button click, but that's a whole 'nuther story)
Some put it down to possible RF interference from other devices causing the problem, while my local Genius put it (and the click issue) down to a botched MM. In the end I gave up and went to a Macally BTMouse Jr. No problems at all.

Problems w/ Apple Mighty Mouse and 2013 Macbook Pro

I recently purchased a 2013 Macbook Pro (13-inch, non-retina), and have tried connecting my 2010 (apprx.) Apple Mighty Mouse via bluetooth.
While it does connect, the right mouse button, "centre mouse button" (pressing down on the scroll wheel), and the two side buttons ("pinching buttons") do not work.
I tried changing the settings through System Preferences, assigning the right mouse button as the "Secondary Button", the centre mouse button for the Dashboard, and the two sides for Expose - App Windows, but none of it worked.
Any suggestions about how to remedy this would be appreciated.

Hey there, I'm on the forums because I can't get my wireless mouse to connect to my new MacBook Pro either (just got it yesterday). Bluetooth Device Manager seems to "see" it when it searches, but insists it can't connect to it, saying either "device not found" (which is ridiculous, since it's right up there in the list) or "cannot find the necessary services." Yet I cannot find anything definitive on the tubes to say that the two don't work together. Anyone else have any ideas for us??
I should mention I changed the batteries b/c at first I thought that's all it was. When it didn't work I brought it to a 2009 MacBook Pro, and that one connected no problem ::shaking head::

Will the wired Apple Mighty Mouse work with Windows Vista SP1?

The above question. Will I have to download any extra drivers? Is the MM really that bad? Thanks.

*" Will the wired Apple Mighty Mouse work with Windows Vista SP1?"*
Officially...No: http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/specs.html
In reality... probably. Why would you want it anyway? There are many many better mice out there.

Apple Mighty Mouse not staying connected through Bluetooth

I just purchased the Apple Mighty Mouse with my new MacBook Pro. The next day when I come back to the notebook and start up, it does not have the mouse connected. It can see it, but does not automatically connect to it. Does it matter that sometimes I leave the mouse at home and use the notebook. I come back home and I expect that it should know to automatically connect to it when I turn the mouse back on. Sometimes I leave the mouse on without turning it off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Re-installed the mouse app/software now works a charm

Difference between Apple Mighty Mouse MB112LL/A and MB112LL/B?

What's the difference between the wired Apple Mighty Mouse MB112LL/A and MB112LL/B?

I did a search for "MB112LL/A" on the Apple support website:
[http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&product=&q=MB112LL/A]
As you can see, it comes up in several pages giving information about the Mac Mini and MacBook, where it's given as the part number for the Apple Mouse in the "Options" section, under "Configure-To-Order." A search for MB112LL/B turns up no results of this sort.
Furthermore, the Apple Online Store sells the /B part but not the /A part. So it seems logical to assume that the /A is offered only as a CTO part, and the /B is a standalone part.
Like I said, I'm not sure that the difference is the configure-to-order status. It's just an educated guess.

Mighty mouse sensitivity

First of all... why isn't there a Mighty Mouse category?
I'm not sure where this post fits. It's kind of a hardware and maybe software issue.
Anyway. Here goes...
I have three things about my mouse that are bothering me:
First, Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the side squeeze buttons on the Mighty Mouse? I have mine set to activate expose all windows when I squeeze it which I love and use all the time. I just wish that the squeeze buttons weren't soooo sensitive. It seems like I sometimes don't even have to squeeze it and expose will go into effect. It happens quite a bit without me wanting it to.
The second thing is sometimes when I do squeeze the mouse to activate expose, all of my open windows will swoop like they're supposed to but will just spring right back to where they were without me clicking on any of them. Drives me crazy.
The third thing is, sometimes when I move my cursor with my mouse and pick it up and put it down on my mouse pad, the impact will make my screen jump (scroll) and/or zoom depending on the application I'm in (some apps I use can zoom in and out when I roll the scroll ball). It's screwed me up a few times. I am not a heavy handed mouser either. I learned to hold a mouse very delicately with my fingers, like I'm holding an egg, to avoid fatigue and wrist injury.
It just seems like my mouse is super sensitive and the adjustment settings in System Prefs. doesn't really change anything.

I noticed a similar problem but was able to fix it.
I just started using the Mighty Mouse a few days ago and it seemed great, though I did disable the right click function. The side buttons were working fine. Then this morning I came in and found that every time I touched the mouse it launched Expose. At first I thought I was going crazy because I didn't recall it being that way before. Finally, I simply unplugged the mouse and then plugged it back in. Problem solved! Now it is completely back to normal. Just curious now whether I'll have to keep doing this every few days.

Apple Mighty Mouse problems with OS Leopard

Ever since I upgrade to Leopard a fortnight ago, I've had problems with my Apple wireless mouse (Mighty Mouse, which I bought 2 months ago). When my computer wakes up from sleep, my mouse stops working. I would then go to System Preference - Bluetooth Preferences, but the computer would get stuck; I would have to Force Quit out of System Preferences. Then, when I shut down the computer, it would go through the normal shutdown process but get stuck at the blank screen with the spinning gear icon; it would stay there for more than 10 minutes (which is the longest I waited before doing a hard shutdown). I have re-paired the mouse with my computer numerous times, recalibrated the machine with the assistance of the Apple helpdesk tech support, but still my mouse would not work when my Macbook Pro wakes up from sleep. Even the tech-support person at apple did not know why my computer gets stuck when I try to shut down. The annoying thing is that it only happens when my computer wakes up from sleep; otherwise, it works fine. My mouse worked perfectly when I had OS 10.4. Hopefully it is bluetooth bug that apple will fix with a new 10.5 update. Can anybody advise?

Same issues for me with my iMac.
I migrated from Windows to MacBook (about 14 months ago).
I was so pleased with Apple, and decided to ditch my PC for an iMac about three months ago.
Sadly Leopard has not proved to be a bug free stable OS for me, and I am sorely disappointed.
The Mighty Mouse BT issue is incredibly annoying for me.
Interestingly, sometimes when I do manage a restart, and it freezes, my menu bar indicates that my internet connection is by Airport (a known bug as well, I think?). My iMac connects via Ethernet, and Airport is switched off. So is there a link? Co-incidence?
Bottom line: I am very disappointed with these frustrating bugs, and Apple appears not to be listening.
My MacBook also some sporadic issues: when I wake it from sleep,sometimes the svreen goes blank, and unresponsive, and requires a restart. I use a trackpad.
Leopard has some bad bugs, and I feel very letdown by Apple.

Apple Mighty Mouse: covered under AppleCare?

I've got a Mighty Mouse that is connected to an iMac that we have in our lab. The mouse has stopped working altogether (no response no matter what computer it's connected to).
The iMac is registered under an AppleCare agreement for 3-years and it's still under warranty for it. My question is: does that AppleCare agreement extend to the peripherals that come with the computer? Would Apple be able to replace the mouse, free of charge? Or repair it?

Yes. My wireless Mighty Mouse went bad (made grinding noise) and they replaced it under the AppleCare program. I didn't feel comfortable giving them my credit card but it was quickly credited once they got the old one back. No charge to me for shipping either way. A painless experience! Yahoo for Apple!!!

Apple "Mighty" Mouse

Hello.
One day my old logitech wireless mouse started to have some problems (it has its years after all) and so I have decided to buy a new mouse. I checked the stores etc. and after seeing the "mighty" mouse on apple pages, I have decided to buy it. It costs more money but its from apple, it will be nicely integrated with OS and it has the scroll wheel, that was my thoughts. When I got it and connect it with my iBook it really looked nice for few mins. I have turned left and right button option and.... got a first problem. Right button didnt work 100%, maybe on 80% of clicks. Pretty annoying. Over few weeks it got worst and I ended on 20% of successful clicks. As bonus, from second week my mouse scrolling wheel started to scroll really badly in the "down" direction. If I havent bought it from net store, at this point I would go and smash it on the sellers head... I got pretty annoyed really and so I smashed the mouse few times and believe it or not, clicking works 100% now. It just didnt help with the scrolling, which month after buying stopped working in "down" direction at all.
So I asked two of my friends with the same mouse over AIM about their experience... One started to use only one button option since he had problems with right left, like l had before. The second had the scrolling wheel out for second time. Since he actually managed to disassembled the mouse and repair/clean it once. I have no idea how to do the same, since there is no visible way, screws or such. After 3 months with the mouse I curse the day I bought it. I have managed to semi-repair my old logitech mouse and Im running it now -> at least basic things like scrolling actually works. Apple "crappy" mouse is lying in box waiting for trashing. Im long time Apple user and when I see product from Apple I expect quality. These mouses should be taken out from market.
I have to buy a new mouse, maybe not mighty but cheaper and working.

Well I'm still using my old Apple optical mouse--not a mighty mouse. It has never given me any problems at all in all the years I have been using it. It sounds like you haven't had the mighty mouse for long and have had trouble almost from the beginning. I have heard of problems people have had with the mighty mouse, and I wonder if you happen to have a defective one. If so, are you still under warranty? I think the warranty is for a year but I don't know for sure. If so, it's up to Apple to fix or replace it. If you have access to an Apple Store, make an appointment at the genius bar. If not, try calling Apple about it.
Good luck!

Apple Mighty Mouse or Computer?

I got a problem, okay when I am In The Middle of using my mighty mouse the cursor goes to the side and hides in the corner of the screen all my it self w/o me doing it. Its really anoying when Im doing something important and the cursor just goes in circles, sweeps the dock, or just plains moves w/o me doing it. Please Help Me

Hello, Justin. Try a different mousepad. The optical mouse doesn't like shiny surfaces, patterns, or certain colors. Try it on a piece of plain white paper, and if it behaves, go get yourself a boring gray mousepad.

Would you recomend a wireless apple mighty mouse for mac book?

Would you?

Yes I think mine is the best mouse I ever used. I use rechargeable batteries and change maybe every other week and I use my mouse a lot. You may get more life out of your batteries depending on use.

That's nice. Do you have a question you would like to ask? What's it not working with? What troubleshooting have you done?
How would you like us to help you with a possible hardware issue?

Pre-Mighty Mouse - Apple Pro Mouse still available?

I was looking through the UK Apple Store (online) for a Pro Mouse, but all I can find are the Might Mouse and the Wireless Mouse. Is the Pro not made any more?

Yes, apple has discontinued the apple pro mouse. I wanted one too for my iMac; but I couldn't find one that was worth the cost on eBay. I broke down and purchased the Apple Mighty mouse. I love it! It's a very good product, Only Slightly over priced. But you can use multiple buttons. and you can even scroll 360 degrees. I am glad I purchased it. They are $50 dollars in the US. I'm not sure about the UK though. You must have OS 10.3.9 or later I believe though. Hope this helps. -Trevor129

My Mighty Mouse is driving me mighty nuts!

Is Apple's Mighty Mouse sensitive to heat? I am getting the impression it is. After using it for a few minutes while working on an image and holding it under my hand, the cursor movement gets erratic, uncontrollable. Makes it hard to paint masks or even select something from the menu.
After letting it go for a few minutes it will work normal again, until I had it under my hand for a little while. It seems that the laser is affected by the heat radiated by my hand. Apple praises it as being more sensitive than any other optical mouse. Is that what they mean?
I use an identical mouse for my MacBook, without any problems. But I don't hold that mouse in my hand for long periods, since its only for control documents, e-mail, web and such.
Do I need a refrigerated mouse pad?

I can't comment too much on the heat issue, although if it really is responding to heat then you have a broke mouse. Maybe a broken solder joint since all the new lead free solder processes produce a much less reliable and failure prone bond than the good old fashion true lead solder (IMHO RoHS was a liberal stupidly inspired waste of time and money, because there is still nasty stuff caste into the environment when a RoHS board is improperly discarded: how about do correct recycling of ALL our garbage, and then RoHS would be completely unnecessary and we would end up with a REAL clean environment instead of just pretending we did something! OK, off my soap box .
But you might also be masking the true problem. The Mighty Mice are capacitive sensing devices. This makes then very sensitive to... your fingers for example. But it also makes they sensitive to noise. In particular, I found (and proved) that a particularly inexpensive and popular (Best Buy) phone charger produced a huge amount of low frequency noise. Many/most/all of these chargers are cheap switching power supplies, and they are often poorly designed and filtered, resulting in copious low frequency noise emissions. This noise radiated through the air and power cords and got picked up by my Mighty Mouse and drove it nuts! Made it completely unusable. Until, I discovered the culprit. Unplugged the phone charger, the Mighty Mouse was fine. Plugged it in (typically near the iMac or in its same power strip) and poof! Problem back! I ended up just making sure my charger was always plugged in on the other side of the room, distancing it from the Mouse. Apple was informed of this and they may have since added more filtering to the Mighty Mouse But it might be hard for them to filter out the switching power supply noise and also still pick up the desired signals associated with your fingers. It might just be one of those compromises necessary to have a cool technology.
So, before you send your Mouse back for replacement, make sure there are none of these nasty little switching power supplies near your Mac (they are used with almost all peripherals). Might want to get a good filtered power strip too. I now use a Tripplite Model TLP810NET which filters and robustly protects everything (AC, LAN, Coax, Phone, got mine from Digikey). This won't prevent interference from over the air noise, but it will knock out most of the over the power line noise.
Hope this helps
