While it lacks the sleek look of the Apple Pro mouse, the 2 buttons and scroll wheel (also clickable) are all fully programmable with the Macally mouse driver. (The cost is a bit of processor time and memory.) Even without the driver installed, you do get left & right click and wheel scrolling, just not all the other choices. Right from the start it works with pretty much all applications, whether with or without the driver installed. (Running OS X, 10.4.2 on a G4 iMac)
The shape is also slightly more comfortable in the hand than the Apple mouse; all that’s missing is the look.

I’ve been a Macally fan for years. I won’t touch an Apple keyboard, if I can help it, and their mice have always been poorly designed rubbish (anyone remember the iMac puck mouse?), whereas their Macally counterparts were top notch. Well, my Macally iSweetNet mouse started acting up, so naturally I turned to Macally for a replacement. I got this particular model because I figured with the solid white body, the red glare from the optical sensor would be minimized. My mistake. There is a ridiculous amount of extraneous light set off from this mouse, making it no better than a clear body version in that respect. While that was surprising, it wasn’t a deal breaker. What got to me was that it just simply stopped working properly after only four months. All of the sudden, it just started to lose its connection to my computer intermittently. I got so upset with it, I just ripped it from my machine and threw it against the wall. This all happened, of course, after half my applications wouldn’t perform using the Macally mouse drivers–anything related to Java for some reason slowed the mouse down to a 1 to 1 mapping, making it barely functional in those programs. I finally chucked the drivers and went with Alessandro Levi Montalcini’s excellent USB Overdrive shareware driver, which made the mouse work properly. At least, until it decided that communication with my machine was optional. I can’t say how disappointed I am with this product. Macally never let me down before, but I won’t be buying another mouse from them any time soon. I just picked up a Logitech optical, and with any luck, it will last longer than this Macally piece of junk. I don’t like the form factor as much, but if it performs, I’ll learn to love it. Anyone thinking about this Macally mouse, I’d advise you to move on. They’ve lost a step, somewhere along the line.

I tried to use this mouse with my Mac G4 and it is erratic and all over the desktop and therefore unusable. The driver install went all right, but after all looked good, a belated error message showed up that something was wrong with an extension. The pdf handbook that comes on the accompanying CD contains no useful info and does not provide info for fixes. It does indicate an address for tech support. I emailed tech support and received no answer.

After owning this mouse for about 2 months, it stopped working for no good reason. I took good care of it too; I had it on my desk, never spilled anything on it or got it dirty, and then it just stopped working only 2 months after buying it brand new from Amazon! Big waste of money!

Solid construction. Nice feel. If you are looking to replace your one button mouse or just your worn out mouse, this would be the way to go. I’ve owned two of them and I have to say that Macally makes quality products!
