Strengths: well-designed, easy to use
Weaknesses: none apparent
Summary: The Apple mouse is a well-thought-out product that performs flawlessly. The simple instructions (in eight languages!) can be read and easily understood in less than a minute (in English at any rate). Despite having used my previous mouse for five years, I was immediately comfortable with the feel of the Apple mouse which lay under the hand as comfortably as does the key of E flat on the piano keyboard. It moves quite smoothly over the wood surface of my desk. The generous length of mouse tail (connector cable) should be more than sufficient for anyone's needs. The operation of the mouse is straightforward. Additionally, due in part to its partial encasement in hard clear plastic (Lucite?), it would appear nearly impervious to damage other than from intentional misuse, i.e. turning it upside down and pouring liquid into the optical reader opening or smashing it with an eight pound maul. The Apple mouse is well-designed both in terms of its functionality and its simple, yet elegant (and somewhat futuristic) appearance.
