Magic Mouse unboxing video: Man vs. Tape

have you any further reviews to report? I currently have the Mighty Mouse which I like, I take it apart routinely to clean however.

Well the new ipod shuffle was even worse - really ..

I have found that if you don't HOLD the mouse when gesturing, but rather treat it like a very sensitive (in a good way) track pad, all is well.

Give it a shot.

Interesting ... the two issues you make in the video being bad were non-issues for me. Scrolling forward did NOT move the mouse forward, so don't know what you're doing and I was easily able to left/right scroll through coverflow Safari history with no problems at all. Had no problem slowing down my scroll to find the correct page.

First, I loved the video. I just moved and the sight of someone else having trouble with "boxes" was cathartic. Second, Kent's problem with upward scrolling is due to the surface the Magic Mouse was placed on. The teflon rails on its bottom are too slick: a mouse pad with a cloth-like texture works much better. The texture is enough to hold the mouse steady while you scroll up or down, without holding the mouse itself. Works just like a trackpad then, except you don't have to use two fingers to scroll (which I have to unlearn). Kent is trying to scroll while HOLDING the mouse, which leads to his discomfort.

Tried this thing at the Apple Store today. It beats the Mighty Mouse... in the pain department, by 2 seconds.

I'll stick with my Logitech MX Revo. Good size, fits in the hand, not awkward to use, and no pain.

"Very unusual packaging. It's not something we've seen from Apple previously."

Clamshell with a clear front and sides? Plain white background? Small information sheet with the device name on the cover hidden behind the device? They have been using a similar package on the iPod nano for the past two generations (14 months), the iPod touch for the past two generations (14 months) the iPod shuffle for the current generation (9 months). They are rectangular, in order to hold rectangular objects. This is shaped like an oval, because the mouse is shaped like an oval... Same difference.

LMAO!! Hey, did u notice the grey sticker that says "peel here" to open it right away? If you've truly opened EVERY apple product known to man, then you've never opened an iPod Shuffle package before...??? Wow... people need to read things.

this guy opened it with one hand in under 90 seconds!
