The nice thing about my method for dealing with the Mighty Mouse's issues is you can apply it immediately after taking the device out of the box.

(Seriously, that thing... the teeny little trackball isn't a *terrible* idea, a well implemented way to do both vertical and horizontal scrolling would be welcome. But the touch-sensitive "lift up your finger in this cruel and uncomfortable way while pushing down if you want to register a right-click" lack of physical buttons is horrendous. It basically requires your hand to do exactly the opposite of a normal mouse, and it's ergonomically *really bad* to be forced to pull a finger *up* from the resting position rather than push it down in order to register the proper command. Someone is going to end up in a really interesting part of purgatory for a few million years for designing that thing, and they deserve it.

Out of an office full of people that received those things when the engineers were all treated to brand new Mac Pros back in 2007 I don't remember a single person sticking with the MM for more than a day. They're just that bad.)
