Hands-on with the Magic Mouse

Too bad the Apple's software has to little gestures in their software. Although I found some useful tools to add more gestures: http://www.geeksology.com/how-to-add-additional-gestures-to-apples-magic-mouse/

i picked up my mighty mouse at an Apple store here in Toronto, Canada after an enthusiastic employee confirmed that as a left i would have no problem.

A couple of problems: the mouse is too low profile, I like something meaty to rest the palm of my hand on. Because of that, I find the mouse moves under my hand and I lose finger position over the area designated for right and left buttons.

The result is I end up alt-clicking more than i click as intended which is very annoying. I have gone back to my old wireless mouse that has a better palm group.

here is how to activate the middle click

I had one for a couple ays. It was meh.

Is it low DPI? I couldn't really draw anything with it, so I went back to the ol' Logitech.

Still Waiting in Canada, unless you by and new system online.

I really like the new Magic Mouse. It feels great in my hand and moves across my desktop much smoother and easier than the Mighty Mouse. I don't miss the side buttons as they weren't the easiest to use, but a middle button would have been nice.

Oops, what happened. I don't feel that strongly about it, that it showed up 3 times.

Sorry folds.

I don't know what it is with Apple, but as far as I am concerned they have never ever produced a decent mouse, including this one.

Years ago, when all mice already had two buttons, Apple stuck stubbornly with one. Then there was the little iMac round puck, a disaster. The Mighty Mouse was clumsy and heavy, with the little scroll ball getting gunked up often, and no real buttons, which often did not work properly.

And now this "Magic" mouse, that after a short time of working with it, starts to hurt my wrist. This is one of the worst mice I have aver worked with, albeit a very good looking one. The worst part is the lack of ergonomics. It is much too low, too thin. Even for people with small hands.

I'll stick with my ergonomic Logitech mouse. Those people know how to make mice. Many more programmable buttons to use. Apple should have outsourced the design of a new mouse to them. I bet in cooperation with their own design team they could have come up with something a lot better. This thing stinks mostly because of the lack of ergonomics.

And swiping left/right is a pain in the ass, because the mouse does not stay steady on the desk.
