Is the Magic mouse worth it?

[Liquinn]

I tried the mouse in store, and disliked it.

I moved to the trackpad and have not looked back, I pair the trackpad with a Logitech Performance MX and have the best of both worlds.

Almost £60 for a Magic Mouse... my Powermac G5 was £150 off eBay, madness

I love my Magic Mouse.

I have a 2008 or 2009 iMac and previously had the Mighty Mouse. The nipple on the Mighty would get clogged so often and when i got a new job, they had the Magic Mouse.

Loved it. I decided to upgrade to Lion and get the Magic Mouse and use the NEW way of scrolling (somewhat backward but totally used to it now).

I really love the look and feel of it. And as a graphic designer I use the mouse a lot, and ergonomics are fine if you aren't too lazy and can not simply rest your arm/hand on it.

I bought mine on Overstock for a little less than $50. LOVE it.

(my opinions noted above)

It works fine but I needed to download an application (Better Touch Tool) to make the mouse have features that I feel it should have been included with. I would certainly use one in store before buying one. The ergonomics are love-it or hate-it.

to OP, if you decide to get it (or already bought) make sure you download this too. I got one with my iMac and really didn't like it till I got that download. Gives you better gestures

I hated the magic mouse. I have both an apple trackpad and a Logitech corded mouse on my iMac. Mouse preferences are very subjective and it's really a question of personal taste. My iMac came with the magic mouse, but I gave up on it and the magic mouse sits in the parts box.

Thanks for all the replies, read all of them and decided not to get one.

Love using the trackpad. Can't go wrong.
