Ergonomically it is a disaster. I can’t think of a single product that embodies design over function more than this mouse.

All of Apples mouse designs have been absolute train wreaks since the horrible “puck” mouse on the original iMac.

The Mighty Mouse wasn't so bad. The ball would get dirty and need to be cleaned occasionally, but you could kind of clean it without taking it apart (flip it upside down and rub it on paper), but you could also take the mouse apart to clean it more thoroughly.

The ball in my Mighty Mouse died after 6 months of use. I tried cleaning the ball but it didn't fix it. Opening the mouse broke it because it wasn't really designed to be opened. Terrible experience for a pretty expensive mouse.

I have a 10 year old Logitech mouse that still works perfectly fine.
