It has arrow key functions, but that's not as useful. Still, it's a solid, comfortable, precise mouse. Apple's mighty mouse actually does 360 degree scrolling with a tiny built in scroll ball, which also happens to be a lot more precise than a scroll wheel, but the casing favors form over good ergonomics. Not the most comfortable mouse even though I've been using one for years. Many gaming cases also have the prerequisite LEDs, gaudy and functionless case moldings, paint jobs, etc. but the main function of a gaming case is really air flow and circulation capacity, or the ability to easily adapt liquid cooling solutions without case mods, under the assumption that any hardcore PC gamer is overclocking most, if not all components. I suppose the assumption is that any case with good cooling/airflow designed for being used with overclocked components is automatically being used for gaming, and is by default, a "gamer case." |
I hate the Mac mice and the mighty mouse doesn't really change my opinion even with it's 360 degree wheel. The whole one button design just doesn't work for me, it makes trying to left or right click feel akward since you don't actually know where you're clicking. Ironicaly enough, I could never get my PC to detect tilting the G5's wheel, but it works just fine on the Mac. Paired with the fact that it's a solid mouse, I try to bring the G5 or another mouse I have just to avoide working with Mac mice when I have to do graphical design type stuff.
