I replaced my Apple mouse with this RFmouse when I replaced my keyboard. Works great and I love the programmable keys. I didn't know there was an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse, so that had me stumped for awhile. The receiver charge light didn't come on immediately...or it did but it flashed on and then off. I finally just set it down and left it and it came on in a couple of minutes and stayed on. Same thing for my second set of batteries. I've had it several days, and everything seems to be working. Glad I switched; much better than the Apple mouse. | 4 | Today | Nice Mouse
I have used a few wireless mice in the past and I like the feel of this one much more then others I have tried. The only complaint I would have would be the short battery life. | 4 | Today | Excellent Apple Replacement Mouse
As the owner of an iMac G5, I found a need to replace the keyboard and mouse that came with the machine - and this is the mouse I've finally settled on - and it's perfect.
In the past week I've tried out the Logitech Cordless Duo Mouse, the Kensington Wireless Optical Desktop mouse (both part of a keyboard/mouse package) as well as the optical Macally iceMouse, and I wasn't please with either of them - primarily from an ergonomic standpoint.
But after orienting myself to how I would work with my machine at home, I realized I didn't have a need for a wireless keyboard, but a wireless mouse would be a huge benefit. So I returned the iceMouse and purchased the RFMouse, and it's awesome!
Here is a quick run down:
[PROS]
1. Excellent ergonomic design - extremely comfortable to hold.
2. 3-buttons and a scroll wheel, which is all I need.
3. Wireless w/ rechargeable (4) batteries included.
4. Battery charger located in the receiver, which is a nice bonus.
5. Color coordinates with the iMac.
6. Very smooth scroll wheel, with great tactile response.
7. Power switch ON the mouse so you can reduce battery consumption - brilliant!
[CONS]
1. Scroll wheel seems to sit a little higher up toward the hand than the previous mice I've tested - definitely easy to get used to, it just means moving your finger up a little more to scroll and click.
2. That's it!
It's a great compliment to the Macally ICEKey Keyboard, which as a combination is a perfect replacement for the stock Apple products. Granted, everyone has their own preference when it comes to mice, but after testing out 3 mice that appear to be the leaders that cater to the Mac line of computers, the Macally RFMouse is stellar.
Enjoy!
P.S. To the reviewer who gave the product 1 star because it is right-hand biased - how is that review suppose to help anybody? the majority of mice on the market are for right-handed people - and it's been my experience that if a mouse is left-hand oriented, THAT is printed on the packaging - I think most people assume it to be right-handed. | 5 | Today | Lefties are left out
Although nothing from MacAlly tells you this (neither their web site nor the photo nor the packaging), this is a right-handed mouse, which makes it useless for me. | 1 | Today |
