Wow, I've never heard of these issues with reflective surfaces and the scroll-wheel and CERTAINLY never had them. Now admittedly, maybe I don't use the same level of "reflective" surface and I know this is an issue with MANY optical mice, but again, I've never seen it and I've used the Mighty Mouse EVERYWHERE.
My only "complaint" early on was that the side squeeze seemed a BIT sensitive and activated when I didn't want it, but I got used to it I guess within a couple of weeks and no more issue!
I TOO have been waiting a LONG time to see a bluetooth or otherwise wireless version of this baby. I'd KILL for one...it's my only real "complaint" about the device. PLEASE let me get rid of the cord! With my iPod Nano plugged in for charging/synching I have NO free USB ports on my MacBook Pro! You listening, Apple? :)
