I admit it, I saw the title and KNEW it was a joke
The "squeeze" function would feel perfect for Exposé, "squeezing" your windows down
Looks really cool, and priced nicely compared to other "high-end" mice--but I'd have to know just exactly HOW the left-right sensors work. Could I adapt? Would I even have to?
I don't want to have to lift one finger AWAY from the mouse before clicking down, to make sure the other finger is the one detected. I doubt you'd have to--I think the chances of Apple not having thought this through are low
But Apple takes risks in leading people to new ways of working. The price of innovation is that some risks don't work out so well in practice--or not the first time.
And for some common games you need to be able to click the other button while one button is already down. Is there a way that can work with this mouse? Not clear to me yet. (I don't think squeeze or ball would make an ideal alt-fire.)
So I'll have to head to the Apple Store and try one
(And then I'll await a rechargeable BT version--one without a charger, please. Just a USB cord you use when you need to.)
The ball is an utterly obvious solution. How does Apple manage to be first with obvious solutions so much?
(But again, I'd have to judge it in person. No tactile feedback, just a speaker? I like the clicks I can feel in my current wheel. And how's the tension on the ball to prevent accidental middle-clicks? Apple's pretty good at those details generally.)
As for the
name... "Might Mouse"?? Well. OK. All I can say is that watching Apple has been fun this year, but the writing this season has been somewhat spotty.
