I’ve had the Magic Mouse for more than a month now and I love it. When I go back to work to use the Mighty Mouse it just feels cheap and hurts to use.

Amazing to design with too!

Best mouse yet.

It’s true that it took a little to get used to, but now it’s second nature.

Are the ergonomics worth trading off? The short answer: no. The medium answer: absolutely without question not a chance.

This mouse is perfect if you’re just browsing the net. That’s basically all it’s designed to do.

I’ve already got serious carpal tunnel injuries. I can’t work (as in not bugger about at the computer) for more than fifteen minutes before needing a serious relax period. There’s nothing to support the hand. Anyone doing art/design/multimedia work will probably want to stick with the trusty Wacom mouse or a Logitech mouse.

Swipy gestures and shiny tops doesn’t equal (by a very long longshot) the health of my wrist.

I was also pretty disappointed to see there was no middle click on these mice…
I wonder if it would be possible for someone to make a plug-in that allows for a middle click to be registered as such when pressing in the middle of the mouse. (Seeing as it can tell where you are pressing.)

Great review by the way.

Thank you for the review.

Did’t try one, but want one if it’s got a wire.
A pity it does not exist.
A well for ecology (no batteries) , as for your health (no extra radiation)

tnx.

I love the review. And as you, I agree that this is leap forward!

I didnt like that the mouse was so low at first but i got used to it. I think its better like this because you move around your finger on it alot, and that is easier to do when the mouse is low

Can’t disagree more on the coolness outweighing the ergonomics. I so wanted to love the Magic Mouse but frankly it feels very unnatural to use and hold. I’ll stick with my Logitech.

Wishes.
I wish the whole mouse would act as a trackpad so i could turn it sideways and use it like the trackpads on the macbooks.

I wish it had more multitouch gestures, think macbook. Three button swipes. Double Tap for Right click… etc…

I’m sure they’ll bring some of those features later on, but definitely not via a software update… you’ll have to buy a brand new mouse.

But yes, it’s the best bluetooth and best apple mouse I’ve used so far… even though I do miss the middle button that I used to use for Dashboard and the side buttons for expose. Sigh.

i don’t think you can click both at the same time…

It looks brilliant, but I use a 3D software where, without 3 buttons you can’t navigate it’s environment. So I think I’ll wait until apple has solved this and when I upgrade to a new iMac I’ll keep my 3 buttoned mighty mouse.

If I were to use on Windows for gaming? How would it square up? All I need is left and right click for the games I play; keep in mind I do need to be able to click both at the same time.

Tho as much as I like apple design, I’m really looking forward to see a normal mouse from Apple. Until then I’ll use other brands…

nice review, I would like to try the new magic mouse, I still have the Mighty Mouse and haven’t had any problems…yet…. But, perhaps I agree with h1brd about the Magic Mouse, I dont know if it’s the best choice for somebody who’s all the time using the computer.
