Keys and scroll wheel offer too much resistance for ultimate comfort; mouse is right-handed only; inconvenient thumb-button placement

Wii iPlayer vs PS3 iPlayer test: which is best for free BBC TV?
Picture quality of the iPlayer on the Wii has been awful, but the release of a new channel could change all that. We test it out and compare it to the iPlayer experience on the PlayStation 3.
