Which Mouse?

Until you use the ArcTouch.. Everyone has their own preferences.

Cant agree with the above. Magic Mouse has the worst tracking and close to the most uncomfortable mouse I've ever used. Yeah the touch sensitive scrolling has a cool factor but not any more useful than a scroll wheel, less so actually since it lacks tactile feel. It's just crap.

Yea. I had the Microsoft Arc Touch mouse that i used with my Win7 Tablet and loved the mouse!!

I replaced the tablet with a new MBA and never use the mouse anymore though. I really don't find a mouse necessary when using Mac--especially lion.

I may even get the magic trackpad for my iMac to replace my magic mouse. I just love mac trackpads.

But don't get me started on windows trackpads. It is baffling how Apple gets it so right while everyone else gets it so wrong!!

I like the Logitech MX Revolution or the Razer Deathadder.

Yeah considering how quickly other companies mimic apple products it's baffling how long it's taking to copy the track pad. I can only assume its because windows does not have the Proper APIs in place for all the gestures and multi-touch features. I'll bet we will see a lot more Mac-like track pads in PCs with the intro of Windows 8 though.

I have this one:

Verbatim Mercury Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse with Nano Receiver

I have no issues with the mouse; it works just fine. I expected to need it doing graphics work, but I've adjusted to the trackpad and rarely use the mouse.

I'm a huge fan of the Logitech MX Performance mouse... it's always been the most ergonomic mouse I've come across.

Same here, have been using it and the previous model for years now. and for on the road there is also the smaller Anywhere MX.

I agree entirely. I've always hated laptop trackpads...until I got a MBA....now I only use my Mouse when gaming. For everything else the pad is perfect.

agree with this. i have a bluetooth MS mouse and its simply gets the job done much better than the magic mouse or whatever it's called by apple.

the whole touch thing adds no functional value. and again the apple mouse needs more speed. not much more... just.

FWIW, I love (LOVE!!!!!!!) my trackpad!

Magic Mouse for the Air is what I would use if I own the MBA myself

I bring a Magic Mouse with me.
