The Magic Mouse is a beautiful device. I use a Kensington trackball  
with my older Mac, but the newer I just got a Magic Mouse for. It is  
delightful. The Mighty Mouse has a built in flaw that after a period  
of time the track ball stops working. Have owned 2, it eventually  
happened to both of them. Not an easy fix, either. Magic Mouse works  
great.
