The Mighty Mouse is a _massive_ improvement over the iPuck and even the one
button mouse that succeeded the one button mouse but, for me, I don't find
that it's a comfortable mouse to use. I've been very happy with Logitech's
designs for mice (and, the mouse I have offers _useful_ buttons, but no 360°
scrolling... that might be neat), and, after 10 years of using them, I could
probably never use a non-Kensington trackball.
Ah well, at least Apple is waking up to the advantages of the two-button
paradigm. One button mice are excellent for making simple, easy-to-learn and
use interfaces, but the two-button paradigm is also a very valuable mode of
working (albeit a tad more complex) [I see no use for three button mice
(right-left-middle mice buttons) except for in extremely specialised
situations].
