They certainly are. Had them for years, and still do their job.

They are good.

My boss had them on his desk - and left them behind when he moved to another company.

I claimed them as my own, took em home, and am very haappy with them.

Except, i don't like the volume control. It adds far too many wires to the setup.

Yeah, I also noticed. I couldn't justify spending around £60 on a mouse, however nice. I have a £20 Wired IntelliMouse from Microshaft and its the best mouse ive ever owned, had it about 3 years now... Think its time for a wireless one tho.

The MX1000 I'm using came with the MX5000 keyboard/mouse desktop set I got for Christmas last year, which at the time cost around $120. I probably wouldn't have spent that much, but man is the MX1000 great, and you can get it a lot cheaper now. The MX1000 that comes with that set is bluetooth, unlike the one you buy separately which is RF, meaning you have to plug something else into your Mac's USB. It tracks perfectly, and all those extra buttons come in handy. My favorite extra button is the round one in between the thumb forward and backward buttons -- I use that for Expose.

I cannot use a wired mouse. Absolutely cannot. After about two minutes, I want to use the cord to strangle myself.

Great minds think alike!
i'm using the round button for expose as well.
Only issue i have is that the two buttons above/below the scroll wheel don't work. I'm using SteerMouse as the driver. All other buttons work beautifully :)

Thats a fair point. I would like a BTMM, but I cant spend £50 on a mouse, and it lacks the buttons I need. This has 2 extra, plus the scroll wheel clicks down as well, which is handy, but these all get used for Expose/Dashboard. I am going to get myself a wireless mouse 2mora tho. Been saving for a while, and I just totted it up and ive saved nearly £400 in the last week, lol, (Including £250 for my old eMac, but still) so it's upgrade time I thinks.
 
just a quick un - my new iMac (few hours old!), Dell 2007FPW, PowerBook and Teleton A390 amp. 540gb of space in total!

The desk is from IKEA, as is the "block". The "block" is from a coffee table that is the same finish as the desk. The desk cost $110 CDN, and the coffee table top $20 CDN. It doesn't put the MBP at eye level, but still a nice little attractive looking boost.

Is it a 55x55cm Lack coffee table?
 
I second that. One thing though: Try and organize the cables. Have you considered mounting a cable tray sort of thing under the desk?
 
Current Setup

My setup, somewhat changed from the last time I posted (months ago). Changed the screen from a 19 in. widescreen Westinghouse LCD (1440x900) to a 22 in. Widescreen Samsung LCD (1680x1050). Aside from this, the setup is somewhat similar.

These are the pictures, click on them to see the notes on flickr.
