Mykill Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Ya they are badass. Similar to my trackpad on my MBP. Love that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStump Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 that thing is actually kinda hard to use and is uncomfortable because your hand does not rest on it. i use them at work to demo macs and they are always doing something i dont want them to do, i still rock the mighty mouse because of this stuff. if you want multi touch gestures get a magic trackpad instead, its 10 times better than the magic mouse.http://www.apple.com/magictrackpad/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 yeahhh, they came with new iMacs. Almost everyone that got one, hates them.I've had them up and fail to track. Just quit and refuse.Using them when boot camped into windows on a Mac is a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 The mighty mouse sucks because you get dirt around the trackball. I hate that crap. I just got this magic mouse today and I'm loving it. Kind of an odd position, but it's already growing on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStump Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) my biggest problem with the magic mouse is its almost impossible to right click when you want to and when you dont want to it will right click everythingand yeah the mighty mouse has the dirt on the trackball issue but usually tuning it over and rolling the ball around fixes the problem, i usually end up tearing it apart every 4 months and cleaning it out though cuz it will eventually stop working but then its perfect for another four months lol.

hue jass Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Had a Microsoft Trackball Explorer. Loved it, then it broke. So popular I sold it on eBay for $80 (broken!). No replacement, discontinued. Adapted to Logitech Optical Trackman. All good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStump Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 maybe its cuz you have to leave your index finger on the mouse to right click on the magic mouse but you have to lift it on the mighty mouse and i am just used to the mighty mouse lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. My hand wants to click both fingers. But if I don't keep my index finger on the mouse, it's fine. LOL. I don't keep my finger on it anyways because I'm usually scrolling.

I been using MS ergo keyboards since 96, helped the caperal tunnel, and type nice. I still have 2 PS2 versions that are both over 10 years old, and worked the last time I needed to use them. I take one with me every place I have worked. The only issue I have the the black ones is I use them so much I wear the print off some of the keys.The MS mouse, I won. It is "gamer" mouse with billet aluminum buttons and scroll wheel. It is a nice mouse, and has a lot of nice gimmicks for people that play FPSs.add to that, I have a MS sidewinder force feedback Joystick as well. after 8 years no issues with it either.(did I mention I sold my soul to MS in the 90s to pay the rent?)
