magic mouse

Just got the new mouse and after updating the software have fallen in love. Without the update Snow Leopard refuses to find it. Stepping up from the mighty mouse is a good call. No more clogged scroll wheel. This thing scrolls so beautifully. Just a swipe of the finger, slow or fast. Nicely heavy too. Bit slow on tracking though. Just thought I'd let you know it's a great piece of hardware. Looks fantastic as well.

I second that opinion. I played with it at length at the Apple store last week. Very nice improvement over the old. And it does have a nice, substantial feel and weight to it. It is definitely a top quality product.

If I wasn't so much in love with my MX Revolution, I'd get one. Looks like a great product.

I'm thinking of buying one for my MacBook, because normal Mighty Mouses are... Let's face it... Not that great... And the other Microsoft mouse I have is... Really bad. Although the built in trackpad is great, and I love it, I find it's sometimes hard to get comfortable with. I want basically the trackpad in a mouse, is the magic mouse exactly that?

I'm gonna try and find an Apple store with one in stock and try it out there before I consider buying it. It looks very low profile, I can imagine it giving me bad hand cramps if I used it all day. I already get a stiff hand using the Mighty Mouse.

The difference here is that it moves the cursor like an ordinary mouse so it's not like a trackpad. As for the hand cramps I can see what you mean. It takes a little getting used to and only time will tell if my hand rejects it. But... I keep finding jobs to do so I can use the mouse some more.

I wish Apple would come out with a wireless version of the pad that is on all of their Laptops as an alternative to the Magic Mouse. That would be the best to me. I still hate,"pawing" around my desk with a mouse to move the cursor. This keyboard has the function built into it but is unfortunately only PC compatible from what I can tell. I would give up my trackball in an instant if Apple came out with their Multi-touch on an iPhone sized wireless interface.

I just bought the Wacom Bamboo tablet (the version with pen and touch). It's not quite as full-featured as the trackpad on my MBP, but it has a fair amount of gestures. It gives a great level of control with both touch and pen. I can even use it with Aperture.

I'm sure I'd like the Magic Mouse, but can't really justify it after buying the tablet.

Thanks GadgetComa for the comment. I didn't realize Wacom had incorporated touch. The Bamboo Fun looks pretty awesome. I wish it had a wireless version, but it's touch is very well featured.
