    Is that a trackpad of sorts on the mouse?

    Mockup looks worse every time I see it, you have to look at it like the scrollpad is slightly sunk into the mouse for it to work visually.

    Bad idea. Tactile "feel" is important. I just want a bluetooth version.

    Tactile feedback can easily be reproduced by

    A) adding a clicker sound to the piezo speaker the mouse already has anyway (cf. iPod)

    B) roughening the trackpad surface (cf. MacBook Pro, MacBook)

    C) both.

    I download Gimp, how do install X11 from install disk. I tried, but I was unsure how.

    I like the white feel, interesting. However I feel this position and size are better though. Smaller size would allow for clicking right and left buttons etc.

    Then you don't get as much side-side though.

    Not a big deal I don't think. A small trade off for constant reliability, besides if it was too big it would keep getting in the way.

    WTF, I just came across this - post date 2004!!:

    Maybe they tried a touchpad already before making Mighty Mouse.



    I think we need to hear more from admactanium as to why that kensington mouse wasn't any good.
