Good mouse though, I agree. Very solid.

I loved the Mighty Mouse's scroll pea - the ability to scroll in any direction was just superb when editing large graphic files (or when zoomed in pretty closely). I found cleaning the blighter the be a pain though, so I loved the Magic Mouse even more. Only thing I don't like about the Magic Mouse is the batteries. The fact that it's battery powered is just Apple's love of bluetooth, but the battery cover is a curiously un-Apple-like design - very clunky.

I kept on getting random behaviour, which I am sure was due to just touching it with the edge of a finger. I don't like that kind of thing. I use fingertips on all mice, except for the very large Kensington trackball. Which I used for a longish time, but then I gave it away. Mice are so much nicer and more instinctive for me. Quicker and more accurate. -- Peter |
