I am up in the air. Great post and I have since gone to the store to try it out. But after their last ‘mouse’ iteration (2 which crapped out on me), I am a bit leery.

sounds interesting, i still dont understand how the scrolling works though! suppose i need to see one in practice. the old mac mouse is a bit dainty for me.

WANT. MINE. DELIVERED. The suspense killing you yet? Your “hands-on” makes me all the more giddy…..

I stopped in at the store as well last week to try it out. I’m pretty sure I’m going to get one. I’m a bit worried about it, though, as you mentioned. On the one hand (har har), my scrolling finger is all raw from the ball (I have one at home and one at work), so not having that evil contraption on this one was really nice, it was a good experience for the most part. However, It is a REALLY REALLY short mouse, so I’m quite concerned with hand strain. I could feel it a bit just from the short time I was using it, but also haven’t tried it sitting down.

I’m hoping they’ll be at the store today. If you project out the estimated delivery on the site, it seems as though be shipping out today if I would have purchased it online.

They look pretty cool. I always gum up that little ball. I have to clean out the mouse every few weeks to get it working again.

How did you purchase one if they weren’t out for sale but only on display?

I’d like to know if you are able to “hold down” the left and right “buttons” at the same time.
That’s pretty much essential for a game that I play a fair bit, so that would be a show-stopper for me if I can’t do that. I’m assuming that there’s a “middle-click” option too.
