The Strong:
1.) The scroll bar/ball thing on the top is very nice. Much smoother feel than any scroll wheel I've used (cheap Logitech's and MS Intelli. mostly).
2.) The little ball is a more effective left-right scroll than the tilt wheel on MS (and other) mice, IMHO.
3.) Left or Right click feed back is good, nice solid click (mechanical and audio wise).
The Weak:
1.) I find that I get right clicks when I don't mean to. Apparently, when I use an Apple lozenge mouse, I click with my middle finger at least 40% of the time. What used to be an easy way to click is now a liability. My tendency to false right click makes me wonder about claims that users might "graduate" up to using the dual click function: those users might be likely to have this very problem. I've found myself several times today clicking a couple times, only to find out that I've been right clicking, so nothing happened.
2.) Squeeze my donkey. This squeeze thing is not so smooth. Maybe I can get used to it.
In all, an interesting device. I'm proud to be a live test subject for this HI experiment.

I've been using mine for about 5 hours today.
