Laggy Mighty Mouse (BT)

My mighty mouse cursor is lagging often... It looks like it's "skippin" a bit around.
That was not happening on my Mini before I switched to the Mac Pro. Any ideas?
There is nothing running the background or weird process hanging either.

I am having the same issue. My Mighty Mouse lags when I start and slow on mouse movements. I too went from a mac mini to a Power Mac.
The only things I have connected are they Bluetooth Keyboard and Bluetooth Mighty Mouse.
I even checked to make sure my phones Bluetooth was off.
I downloaded the "imousefix" on version tracker and it somewhat helped. It is better but not 100% like it was on my mini.

Bluetooth mighty mouse laggy

Is it just me, or are wired mouses more responsive. I've had to stop using my bluetooth mighty mouse because there just seems to be too much of a delay between when I move the mouse and when the pointer moves on the screen. Anyone?

I get the lag when there is a lot of network activity such as copying a file across the network or when Time Machine is activated.
I've tried changing the channel on my AirPort Express and it has helped but on some channels the wireless connection itself is less stable and keeps dropping periodically.
I've yet to find the channel that gives me both stable wireless and no laggy mouse.

Hi, Guys!!
And you have some right cosmic_hippo , Why?
Well think that the real problem it's something between Firefox and Flash content...
because if i use Safari and i try make what i describe in the first post, i don't have any problem with the mouse settings.
Only Happens when i use Firefox...
Cheers.
Well the issue is still there...

New Mac Mini and 2006/2007 Wireless Keyboard and Mighty Mouse

Will my old wireless keyboard and mighty mouse from 2006 and 2007 work with the new Mac Mini?

Thank You!

I have messed up the settings on my Mighty Mouse and don't know where they should be. I cannot open a document by double-clicking anymore. I don't know what setting adjusts that.

I need help with my Mighty Mouse settings. Don't understand the settings. I can no longer open a document by double-clicking. I think I changed my setting someway when I was trying to correct or find my up and down scrolling. Please help.

I think you need to un-pair your mouse. Leave it a few minutes than re-pair it as if you were starting from scratch and using the following details. Item 1 will probably meet your needs.
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks.

I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

Mighty mouse alternative for OSX and XP

Just ordered a Mac Pro - upgrading from G5 Powermac. I got the mighty mouse with the G5 and of course the MP comes with the same. I have gotten used to the mighty mouse to a point but part of the reason for getting the MP is for Windows and gaming. For this I think another mouse with 'real' buttons might be better. What are your recommendations for a quality wired multi-purpose mouse (XP and OSX) and are there any mouses (mice/moose/meece) that have a scroll wheel similar to the might mouse one (very useful in PS etc). I'm not keen on trackball types btw.
Thanks

The Logitech MX510. Love it w/ Mac and Windows.
I'm a QA engineer w/ Avid and purchased this mouse for multi-button assignment mouse testing on mac and pc. I have one at home now too, it's the cat's meow. (sorry bad joke).
I just couldn't get use to the mighty mouse. Don't dig the "Touch-sensitive top shell".

Connect Wireless Mighty Mouse to windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp

I recently installed windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp i tried to hook up my Wireless Mighty Mouse and I got basically nowhere. I was able to get the computer to recognize it and i typed in the passkey "0000" and it knows that it is a bluetooth device and I changed the settings of the bluetooth to "always" be discoverable and still I have hit a dead end. I can still not seem to connect the wireless mouse in any way. What do I do???

I FUIGURED IT OUT!!! omg im so happy right now. For anyone who might be wondering I'll tell you how to make it work it you had the same problem. Once you establish the mouse a device, highlight it in the devices menu, then click properties, then services, and once it is done searching check the box for the driver and click apply and your mouse should work.

Mighty Mouse no longer working properly

The Mighty Mouse has been irritating me quite a bit because the scrollbar frequently stops working. Usually, the cleaning method provides a temporary solution (very temporary considering I've lost count of the number of times this has happened) but now, something different has happened. While trying to use the cleaning methods suggested, nothing worked. I kept on trying and now, not only does the scrollbar not work but the buttons don't work, either. Whenever I try to left- or right-click, my dashboard keeps popping up.
Maybe if Mac could make a mouse that we could open up and fix, this wouldn't be a problem...

Well there you go then.
Contact Apple with regards to a replacement as I do believe the mouse has a 1 year warranty.

My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down - only up and sideways.

My wired mighty mouse no longer scrolls down; only up and sideways. It could be a hardware problem and I guess I should go and by a new mouse but before I do I thought I'd check whether there was any parameter I could change to fix or test this. Anyone else had this problem? Cheers.

Wireless keyboard and mighty mouse do not work with windows Vista

I have a new iMac core 2 duo 20" used by my granddaughter.
The drive has been partitioned using 50-50 with Boot Camp Assistant to form 2 250 GB partitions and windows Vista has been installed on one of them. The installation process runs smoothly as does the process when the OSX disc is installed for the relevant drivers for keyboard, mouse, isight camera etc. At the end of this process it is necessary to click a :"finish" button but at this point the mouse and keyboard have frozen and there is no other way of inputting information. Restarting in windows takes me to the log in page but there is no way to input the user name and proceed further.
Apple support has suggested hat I use a wired keyboard and mouse or call Microsoft support. Microsoft support have told me that they do not support Vista on a Mac.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

I had the same problem on the mac mini from my dad with windows XP.
I could install everything smoothly but when i wanted to connect the mighty mouse and a wireles apple keyboard i had the same problem.
I fixed this by using a mouse with cable and then add the keyboard and mouse via bluetooth in the configurationscreen. i had to do do this 6 times (the same thing) before it worked so maybe its the same in vista

Does apple care warranty cover mighty mouse?

hi.
as many has experienced, i experienced problems with scrolling up and/or down w the mighty mouse. i tried to clean it with a few methods, and the one that worked was when i used a clean piece of paper, turned the mouse upside down, and rubbed it forwards and backwards several times.
unfortunately, it now seems that i might have solved the scrolling problem (but its slowly not scrolling as well already!). but i cant activate the 3rd button anymore. i press down on the ball and instead of activating the 3rd button, it right clicks or left clicks instead.
i also notice the ball is not as smooth as before. there is some fraying on the surface of the ball.
my intel imac has apple protection care plan till june 2009. can the mighty mouse be replaced?

Actually in 2 months my Mighty Mouse will be 3 years old.

I have an air compressor with an air drier on it, you can buy canned air at any electronics store.

No, like Kenichi say's nail polish removers are way to strong and drinking alcohol is way to sticky.

Odd Mighty Mouse behavior?

Hi,
I have a brand new 24" imac with nvidia 8800 but my Wireless mighty mouse has started acting strange, jumping over the screen and making it impossible to use. I tried a wired mighty mouse and that's the same. I first noticed it after 10.3.5 upgrade but could it be a coincidence? I have done an archive and install back to 10.5.2 and it's still the same? It's not constant only intermittent.

Check for any dust in the LED hole. Try using a plain surface, like a solid colored mouse pad, if the surface is on the shiny side. If that does not work...
Try starting up from Mac OS X installation disc. If the mouse is also erratic when booted from another system, you can rule out the 10.5.3 update as the cause.
If it works normally when you are booted from the installation disc, there is probably some issue with your current installation.

How to wired mighty mouse in windows 7

i am using an old apple mighty mouse with my windows notebook. the trackball doesn't work and the configuration panel in Windows 7 doesn't config mighty mouse button. is there any solution to config mighty mouse in Windows 7? thank you.

There is no need for additional drivers.
Why?
If you have a Wireless Mighty Mouse you have to turn your computer visible for other devices in the Bluetooth preferences - then simply search for Bluetooth devices, connect - done!
To configure the Mighty Mouse's buttons, you might want to have a look at a tool called X-Mouse Button Control (http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm).
