Do you use a magic mouse at house?

whoever designed the magic mouse hates hands for some reason, i don't think it could be made any less ergonomic than it is.

The Magic Mouse is low profiled because it is basically half mouse, half trackpad. The top half of the Magic Mouse is a multi-touch trackpad, which is better than a scroll ball since it never gets clogged up and has more functions for swiping & tapping.

The ergonomic logitech type mice are designed more so your hand rests ON the mouse. With a magic mouse you don't actually lay your hand flat on the mouse - you just put your index/middle finger tips on in a normal arch and hold the sides with thumb and ring finger while the lower palm area near your wrist rests on the mousepad. The low profile makes it easier to scroll/swipe your fingers around on top of the mouse without having to raise your hand.

yup.. btw I'm from Boca too lol. I tried to like the Magic Mouse but it's honestly useless, for one it's expensive, and another it's plain uncomfortable to use and I didn't care for doing the motions on the mouse vs trackpad. I don't know what crackhead at apple came up with it's design. Few others I know either returned theirs or just forgot about it and don't bother using it. I remember a client buying a new iMac and stopped using the magic mouse after like 3 days and got a Logitech.

Logitech > Magic Mouse by far.

I hated the magic mouse. I use the trackpad, or a Logitech V220.

I Said When I Bought

This MBP and my Air, that I would give the trackpad a good go before using a MM. I have never been a trackpad fan, but I find the devices on the Air and the Pro to be excellent.

I'd still need to use a mouse for selecting close areas in Aperture etc. But I'm using the trackpads happily without reaching for a MM just yet.
