Masterful Magnificent Mojo Maker Mouse anyone?
My logic is, I try it before I proclaim something about it that you can only FEEL, like ergonomics. What the **** does a previous model have anything to do with it, seeing as they aren't the same shape. But yea, I guess not jumping to conclusions one way or the other is just retarded
Don't you understand how it works when it comes to evaluating Apple products? First, you form an opinion that somehow relies on stereotypes of Apple users and negative opinions of Steve Jobs ("Apple users are too dumb to use a real mouse." "Jobs only wants to take the best features away from you and force you to be a hippie.") Then, you look at the specs and photos and gather as much evidence to support that opinion, selectively ignoring anything that contradicts it. Finally, you post it to multiple forums prior to actually using the product.
Come on. That's how it has always worked. That's how it will always work.
I want this so bad! And the thing that sucks is I just bought the Wireless Mighty Mouse a week ago for my MBP...I think I'll do some exchanging.
Every 3D software requires the third button same goes for many of the video post production apps. Don't know about games since I'm not a gamer. Regarding the expose etc. I wouldn't bet my money on software updates. We have no idea if the Magic mouse touch pad has resolution for three (or more) finger gestures. Regarding left and right hand ergonomic mouses there is a reason why they manufacture specifically different types for left and right handed people. You thought they only came for right handed??? Honestly I have used every Apple mouse design they have ever come up with and in my opinion they have been trailing behind ever since the first ergonomic mouses with scroll wheels came out. Some would say they screwed up the mouse design when they didn't accept the fact that multiple buttons are needed.
They've done it! An even less ergonomic and harder to use mouse!
How would you know that until you've used it?;
I have a $50 Apple gift card and I've been looking for something to use it on. This could be it. A new Magic Mouse for only $20 sounds like just the thing.

Just out of curiosity... has anyone in this thread actually managed to get one of these mice at their local apple store yet?
Personally this is EXACTLY the mouse that I wanted them to make. I simply can't stand using "normal" mice with a scroll wheel now that I've been spoiled by the iPhone's fantastic multitouch and the MacBook's great two-fingered scrolling. However, I certainly won't judge it before I use it because that's obviously moronic. So far, I see it as the best of the mice and trackpad worlds.
What functionality does a cord provide?
Well one thing is, no batteries. The mouse can be lighter and you don't have to buy/recharge batteries.
That said, I use a cordless mouse and prefer it to messing with wires.

I think it would be nice if the mouse had a corded/cordless option. that way if your batteries are running low you can just hook it up and while you're using it, it could recharge off of the USB. (or if we don't want rechargeable, it would still be great just to be able to hook it up when you got dead batteries)
I'll consider getting one or two if they work as advertised. Be hard to give up my Logitech Optical Trackman though (at work and home).
Can it discern between a left- and right-click when both fingers are resting on the surface, without having to lift up one finger like you do with the Mighty Mouse?
Doesn't look like it, per the video. Deal-breaker.
Swiping looks like it'll get painful after a while. Heck, just watching that example video made my hand hurt.

I just placed my order. Couldn't keep cleaning my mighty mouse every week.
Don't know if someone has seen this but on the Magic Mouse User Guide it states that we will need to update to 10.5.8 or 10.6.2 in order for it to work so I bet we will see the OS update as soon as next tuesday since the shipping time for the MM is 5-7 days and I have a 28-30 oct delivery estimate.

Gimmick. This doesn't improve functionality over an average mouse, in fact its probably a lot worse.
If you really, really want to buy this mouse, get a D-Link Bluetooth module that you can plug into a USB port. I have a G5, and that's what I'm going to do. I had a D-Link hanging around from the days when I had a Sony Ericsson bluetooth phone.
