and I made my company buy me a mouse other than apple's.
They're great for browsing but horrible for work.- I currently have a MSFT wireless mouse plugged into my MBP. FTW!brandon_phillip

I've had this problem, too. Only in InDesign. Turning off scrolling in System Preferences should work, but has an obvious drawback.

I actually love mine, I bring an extra one to wherever I'm contracting just so I can use it on any computer they put me on.
I have disabled the second button, because I'm used to working with the single mouse button.I draw typography elements with it too, and people asked me if I've used a wacom tablet to do it. I just set oval brushes in illustrator to give character to the strokes.
I find it to be really comfortable too, I do think a wacom is easier on the hand/ wrist but I'm a lefty that uses the mouse with the right hand, so I never got used to the wacom because it feels wrong, no matter what hand I use it with :(

I love the touch features, and customization capabilities of this mouse, but it is very buggy. Continuously losing connection and it will also get into seizure mode where the pointer shoots quickly to a random edge of the screen. And always have problems with the double-blinking green light not going away. I turn it off and on and it doesn't reconnect. The only thing that helps is restarting the computer.
- take out the batteries and put them back in. easy fix.doesnotexist
- Hahahaha! Do you think I haven't tried this?? I can't count how many times I've taken out the batteries.CanHasQBN
- I'm still laughing at your suggestion.CanHasQBN
- I don't have these problems. Nor does anyone I know. Maybe yours is just a faulty unit?nb
- I've googled these problems. All of them are known.CanHasQBN
- Perhaps there are lots of faulty units? Like I said, everyone I know doesn't have the problem.nb
- maybe you're an asshole?doesnotexist
- I have these exact problems but taking the batteries out usually fixes it.fadein11
- Everyone in my office has one, everyone has this issue. I've found that...Daithi
- ...changing the settings so that it’s very sensitive helps, because you don't need to move or lift itDaithi
- ...which in a way is madness, but you get used to it very quicklyDaithi

I really like mine as well. Using MagicPrefs really increases the custom settings you can use for taps, clicks, swipes and other functionality.

anything else is a step back. learn proper finger control and you will love it.

check out better touch tool: http://www.boastr.net/
you can set application specific settings and gestures. Plus some great window snapping tools.
As for the adobe problems with scrolling, for me scrolling is just more sensitive than I expect, and delayed a bit. So slow it down and enjoy the superior mouse.

I love mine. Been using it since day 1. Maybe you have parkinsons.

the flaw of the mighty mouse is that it has moving parts (the ball, which always gets fucked)
hate using anything other than a magic mouse

simply clean-off the Lubriderm lotion with a dry tissue.

Just switched to one from a Mighty Mouse.
I'm liking it so far. Though, I do experience the random cursor jumps every now and then. It might just be me getting used to it. I enjoy being able to scroll through content/sites once again.Is there a way to turn off the springy effect that happens once you hit the edge of a web page?
