Arrrrrrrgh.

I bought this mouse just yesterday, and after a day of use I have decided that I fucking hate it. It feels light and weak and plasticky, and it's entirely the wrong shape for my hand, and it's practically too big for my desk, and the "tilt wheel" feels janky as all hell and is a bogus solution in the first place, and the regular scroll wheel is sludgy and inaccurate, and the middle button is too stiff, and I hate hate hate it. Anyway, I've reboxed it and will be returning it to 4th D where I bought it.

In the meantime, I have to decide what mouse I want to replace it. Any suggestions? Right now, I'm leaning toward Apple's Mighty Mouse. It's got 4 buttons, it has a real 2-dimensional scroll-widget ("tilt wheel..." pfagh!), and I know from my experience with the one-button Apple mice that it feels decent in my hand. I got to use one yesterday when I was looking around the store, and I think I can get used to it. Anyone got any contraindications or better ideas?

EDIT: I went and vented my spleen in an Amazon review. )

Huh, I seem to keep giving 4-stars to Bump of Chicken songs.
