Has anyone used the magic mouse yet?

[erinlough]

I am thinking of getting one, but I would like some information before spending the 69.00 on it. Thanks in advance.

1. It's magic! That means it will have to be cast into the fires of Mount Doom!

:scared:

2. No, & I don't think I will try it. Reason: I think the last much-hyped Apple mouse

(the Mighty Mouse) was a piece of junk; the hidden buttons worked fine, but on both of the ones that I bought the scroll ball quickly stopped working correctly -- and repeated cleaning efforts didn't remedy the problem.

After that, I'm not really interested in another Apple mouse -- and certainly not at $70

3. no, and I probably won't

I've never liked any apple mice, ever. I like my Logitech stuff a hell of a lot better.

First, we have only one button; then, they have to do the "rocker" style, which I hated; then instead of a click wheel, they put a ridiculous little nubbin. I have a little Logitech Bluetooth mouse that I've had for two years, and has never failed me. 2-button, click wheel with side-scrolling.

4. I've read it is beautiful but uncomfortable.

After fighting to keep my Mighty Mouse clean I bought a top end Logitech cordless and I am very happy with it.

5. I'm a trackball kind of guy. A mouse aggravates my Arthritis.

7. Put it at the end and like a well trained mouse it runs

:-)

8. I took the plunge, just couldn't get past the look of it and....

It is wonderful! Works, eases the pains in my hands, smooth and seamless. I hate to be a total Apple geek, but I am and this mouse is worth the money!

9. Kensington trackball for me.

It feels better to have my arm and wrist stationary, and I have finer control over the cursor.

15. Same here. Moving a mouse becomes painful for me.

10. I have a MacBook with the one piece glass trackpad

I like it better than any mouse/trackball I've ever used. Scrolling, zooming, resizing and managing Expose are all easily done depending on how many fingers you have on the pad.

11. isn't it great?? I love it too nt.

13. +20

12. I did at best buy while trying out the $1599 27" iMac

It's better than the chicklet keyboard... though I prefer Logitech (the company that supports their keyboards with mac drivers but not mouse drivers, :mad: )

The mouse feels rather better than the previous round 'mighty' mouse... but there's no double-click. I think they incorporated trackpad features into the mouse, but it wasn't working for me....

16. They might not have set it up properly in system preferences.

14. Yes...I like it

We got our mom an iMac as a combination birthday/Christmas present. So I was using the magic mouse that came with the computer quite a bit during setting it up her new computer earlier today. I like it, but I do think it takes getting used to. I left the little tip sheet Apple provided up on the desk so she'd see it.

17. Is there a right click feature?

I've used third party mice for some time because I like two buttons plus a scroll wheel.

[erinlough]

18. You can set it up the way you like

I have right click, left click, scrolling within the page, and sideways movement. You can set it up as a left hand mouse as well. Additionally if you hold the control key and push your finger from the center of the mouse forward, you can zoom the page. Pretty slick.
