Apple's Magic Mouse Offers Multitouch Features
| Posted in | Posted on
the biggest disappointment with the Magic Mouse is the way it feels as you move it on a table, mousepad, or desktop. Since it rests on two plastic rails (which provide grip on the surface so that the mouse stays still while you perform touch gestures), the result is a grinding, rough feel.
SOPHISTICATED, alluring, and stunning, the Magic Mouse epitomizes Apple style.
The mouse and its multitouch features work well, too. But you may not want to abandon your current mouse for it.
Offering no visible buttons and no scroll ball, it rises 0.93 inch off the table- a very low profile. If you like having a mouse resting against your palm, you may find this one too flat.
You can use the whole surface above the Apple logo for multitouch finger swipes. Scrolling this way is easy and feels natural. You can't use touch if you run a nonMac operating system on your Mac, either through virtualization or Boot Camp. It doesn't have Windows drivers, so in that OS it can't scroll at all, and it becomes a basic two-button mouse. Perhaps driver updates or third-party apps will include more functions that demonstrate the input advantages of multitouch on a mouse.
When you right- or leftclick, the whole top of the mouse presses down and makes a click sound. Despite the lack of delineation between the two buttons, I never inadvertently pressed the wrong one.
The on-screen tracking is excellent. I never experienced gaps, and the cursor kept up with both long and precise movements. However, the biggest disappointment with the Magic Mouse is the way it feels as you move it on a table, mousepad, or desktop. Since it rests on two plastic rails (which provide grip on the surface so that the mouse stays still while you perform touch gestures), the result is a grinding, rough feel.
