Customer Review

I want to preface by saying that I neither verbiesterter Apple haters'm still a uncritical Apple followers and both Windows PCs and Apple computers use. Mostly I like the stuff from Apple because of its elegant simplicity and ease of use. Little convinced I was so far but from the mice that has offered over time as Apple. Always agreed with whom something is: While they looked very pretty, but either they were functionally limited in incomprehensible way uncomfortable or susceptible to interference.

But I hope so still not given up and now attempts two months of the "Magic Mouse". The touch interface is technically innovative and of course it also works properly. Also recommended is one of the tools already mentioned such as the "Better Touch Tool" in order to better adjust the mouse to your own needs. With Mac-board means I could not help her to the desired pointer speed, for example, they required even at maximum pointer speed to large movements in order to get on a big screen from right to left. It is also possible with the Better Touch Tool to activate functions such as tap instead of click, as most know of a touchpad. A relevant in practice added value has the touch surface for me ultimately, it feels just different. For a more pleasant for others maybe not.

So far so good, and everything is still no reason to complain. What I but until today could not get used right me is the flat design of the mouse. Now I have also noticed that you have to hold down the mouse a little looser, only between your thumb and ring finger or little finger. Yet I do not find this attitude to life is not pleasant and relaxing, especially if you really have to work on the piece with the mouse and much more long. The usual desktop mice with thumb rest and a bit clumsy form that fills the palm of the hand, does not come from nowhere. The form is designed so ergonomically, because it was discovered that the very first computer mice (also rather flat) in the long run are uncomfortable and do not follow the natural curvature of a relaxed hand.

The Magic Mouse as a convenient and defend friendly hand, I find, therefore, extremely disconcerting and it also does not think with my personal impression. She is a beautiful design piece and technically innovative product. An optimal working tool it is not for me, however. Since there is Logitech and some other manufacturers more professional tools with good handling and long-term comfort - with their own drivers for Mac OS X mind you. This then disqualify as "Windows mice" would be complete nonsense.

My conclusion: Who does not have to work all day with your mouse a certain coolness factor does not want to be less, for the Magic Mouse is quite okay. Who but the whole day with graphics, CAD, DTP or other mouse-intensive software works, for which there is in occupational medicine better solutions.
