For all the cats that own Macbooks, what do you think of the Mighty Mouse? I need a mouse to do some graphical work and to give my trackpad a break cause itsreally wearing down.

Touch-sensitive top shell It looks and feels like a sleek one-button mouse, but Mighty Mouse's smooth top shell hides a powerful secret: touch-sensitive technology under the shell detects which part of the mouse you're clicking, so you can both left-click and right-click. And if you prefer the simplicity of a classic one-button mouse, Mighty Mouse is up to the task. Just use the Mac OS X system preference pane to configure it how you want.

i have the bluetooth one and overall i love it, but if you're going to do some graphical work, i say get a different mouse.

Either of two things happen.....the track ball will end up no working in a certain direction and though the mac mice has a right click, sometimes it doesn't read right. I literally have to sit there right clicking something over and over when all it does is left click rather then right. And to top it off, the thing destroys batteries so expect to spend unnecessary loot on lithium ion batteries.
And since you are doing graphics, jut spend you money on a good ergonomic mouse that has the same features as a mac mice (widget buttons, reveal, etc). It will give less strain on your wrist on those long night sitting in front of a computer.

The scroller never works especially down.

+1. I have had one for 9 months. So far, the button has turned blue-#$$ in color and I cant get it back to grey. I can barely scroll down with theball at all, but I can scroll in every other direction. Its impossible to clean. I can wipe it around but thats it. The clicking doesnt work properly, and Ioften now have to lift my finger from the left touch area to right click. If I right click while my finger is laying on the left side, It will only left click.Also, the side buttons are impossible to reach without lifting my hand off the mouse and they don't click, just mash. Ergonomics FTL!!!
I only bought it because it matched my white macbook perfectly. I should have listened to the apple.com store reviews.

get a typical 2 button mouse that is ergonomically designed and will last longer.
