Yeah, I’m getting an old Mighty Mouse and Apple Keyboard off eBay. Can’t wait to get it!

I’m using a wired Mighty Mouse on my Dell since my wireless Logitech mouse started having problems. It worked fine at first, but won’t scroll down any more. I’ve had similar problems using it on a Mac and it just needs to have the wheel cleaned. My main problem is that right-clicks are sometimes read as left-clicks. It’s really annoying when you right-click to mark a mine and it blows up instead! It seems to help if I remove my hand from the mouse after positioning it and touch only the right-click area, but not always. Any suggestions?

Actually, the first computer sold by Apple was the Apple I, which was sold as a kit computer in 1976. Basically a motherboard and you built your own case. It was followed by the Apple II in 1977.

The Macintosh 128k didn’t come along until 1984.

So if some of us who actually owned an Apple II, II+, IIe, or IIc, or Mac 512k “Fat Macs”, or even “Platinum” Mac Plus computers say “Mac” instead of “Macintosh” we’re allowed.

So you use the Apple mouse and keyboard on a pure PC rite?
Because I am also interested to get one my self but my other curious is, can I use the wireless one? In this case you use the wired one so I’m afraid if PC doesn’t detect the mouse or keyboard for wireless one.

Note, the scroll wheel DOES NOT WORK like it does on the Mac. If fact it does not scroll at all. At least it doesn’t with the apple drivers. I’m trying Microsoft drivers next as this no scrolling business is driving me crazy.

Nice article, I coundn’t agree more.

Did you find a way to configure the side buttons? I would like to disable them since their behaviour is mostly surprising me.

Thanks! After I read your test I went to bought the fantastic Apple keyboard for my Windows Vista Laptop. It works very well. I only have a problem with some portuguese keys: it´s all there, but some are in the wrong place. Do you know if it is easy to switch some keys without scratch the keyboard?
Now I´m already thinking to buy the wired mouse. Can you tell me if it works well with the USB port of the apple keyboard?

Thanks,
Carlos
