Review: MacAlly iceMouse

Mice are an indispensable part of any computer system, whether it runs some version of the Mac OS, Windows, or even Linux. Unfortunately, many users, who do not share in the 1984 philosophy that one button rules them all, find that the stock mouse that...

Excellent design matches official Apple hardware, good driver software, 3-year warranty

None significant

We think the iceMouse is a sturdy, stylish, and powerful mouse that will work well with almost any Mac user's setup.

A small travel mouse that does not accomplish the job.

At this point, in the short history of mouse technology, a mouse's tracking should work great, seems like that whould be a given. Also, this mouse come with a surprisingly long cord, it's like 5 feet long. Not really necessary for what I assume is...

Small mouse, takes some getting used to not operating with whole hand but works fine. Tactilely the buttons and wheel work nicely

The optical tracking does not work well. The tracking is jumpy, not good for fine work. I have to turn the tracking speed way down to get it to work for me, and then it's still difficult

too early to add headline review

Personal use only. Thought the ice cream would be creamier and thicker. Will try different recipes and see how to improve texture.

Buy another freezer container

Easy and quick when making ice cream. My husband loves how easy it is to make ice cream with this product. He uses our fresh goat milk and cuts down on the sugar in the recipe. Add fruit, nuts or chocolate for a great change up or to sweeten.
