I have bought four of Apple’s mighty mice and three of the four have had the scroll ball completely die or at least temporarily stop working. Sometimes the scroll ball on the mighty mouse works for scroll up but not down and sometimes vice versa. Sometimes it does not work at all. I really like Apple’s products but I think they have done a great job at creating perception that their products don’t break or malfunction. I must say though, that the folks at the Apple retail store have been good to me. They have replaced two of the three mice that malfunctioned (I have not taken in the third mouse yet). Also, a little story that I’m sure Apple will not be happy about my sharing: Last summer I bought the 17″ MacBook pro with the Intel Core Duo processor and had it about three months. Then the new MacBook Pro came out with the Core2 Duo and I took my MacBook Pro into the Apple store in Fashion Island in Newport Beach and told them I would have waited the three months had I known that the new processors were coming out and they gave me a new MacBook Pro with the Core2 Duo right on the spot. Pretty awesome.
