Apple introduces $70 wireless mouse

If you thought $50 was a lot for Apple to charge for their wacky multifunctional Mighty Mouse, prepare to be amazed: a wireless option is now available for 70 bucks.

It offers the same features of the regular mouse -- that is, two-button functionality with Apple-trademark aesthetic and over-engineering, the nifty scroll ball, and side "squeeze" buttons. Except now it uses bluetooth and can run on one or two AA batteries. And it costs 70 dollars. Even as a vehement defender of Apple products and fan of the Mighty Mouse, this is at least ten dollars overpriced. But, then again, the wired Mighty Mouse is ten dollars overpriced, too, so at least Apple stays consistent.

druie: what a bargain for over-engineered SHIT

Blank: The original Mighty Mouse feels very cheap. I'll stick with my $30 MS one, thank you. It even matches my Mac Mini and my old PC display.

Darian Loneheart: Apple can get away with murder these days. It's funny to think how the iPod and iTunes turned them into such a behemoth so quickly.
