It's already silver and black... so it matches Apple's machines better than the white bar of soap "Mighty Mouse" anyway. Apple should have just used the MX518... instead of trying to create a "better" mouse.

@Jean-Michel Decombe's comment may be a bit of a stretch, but not nearly enough of one to warrant so low a rating.]]>Oct 8th 2009 1:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/Oct 8th 2009 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/Joysticks and gamepads mainly benefit flight simulators and fighting games. The former is a niche genre anyways, while the latter has never been all that popular on the PC. Shooters on the other hand are extremely popular. And for this genre no other existing interface really can come close to matching the precision and accuracy of a mouse. Least of all a trackpad.

But even outside of gaming I have a hard time believing anything could supplant the mouse in the perceivable future. Touchscreens might become a bit more popular, but will desktop users really want to hold their arms out towards the monitor all day long? I doubt it. And honestly, what could possibly shift the market towards *trackpads*?]]>Oct 8th 2009 3:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/Oct 8th 2009 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/]]>Oct 8th 2009 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/Oct 7th 2009 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/]]>Oct 7th 2009 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/Oct 7th 2009 8:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/

Apple wouldn't know how to make a good peripheral if it smacked them in the face.

Logitech and even Microsoft on the other hand, they know mice and keyboards. ]]>Oct 7th 2009 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/mighty-mouse-trademark-awarded-to-man-and-machine-mister-trouble/
