i use this mouse now and i never thinking of switching. at least until apple roll out another version. its great. works with both osx and windows. but in windows, there's no swipe. the rest works good. =)
pc with a osx emulator for if you "need" to use their software is the way too go (or duel boot depending how ur pc runs a emulator) nothing would make me but a mac though.. u just cannot do enough with, not personalization-able (...? lol) enough.
listen assholes if you really wanna play games you have to buy a ps3 or xbox not a computer don't be stupid motherfuckers apple is the best computer in the world.... no doubt about it..........
thats true but as well as what your saying you can just install Windows 7 on your mac via Bootcamp 3.1 so you can have the best computers ...macs and have all the games that pcs have
@cinqo7 I dual boot Windows XP, and games work great with my ATI Radeon HD 4670.
If you want good performing games, Macs are fine.
It's only when you go into modding, overclocking, and serious powerhouse computers, I agree, there's not much available- but that's absolutely fine with me!
@JaredWahoo Yes I agree. Besides nowadays PC gaming is almost dead apart from MMORPG and RTS. All the cool graphics intensive AAA games are to be found on PS3 and XBOX 360 not on a PC and if there is a PC is just a bad console port.
@cinqo7 PCs definitely need a bit of wind in the sails- but on the mac note, with Steam coming to mac in a few days- people are going to start seeing macs as a more viable platform.
Steam also is toting a "one-click compile" to convert windows games in certain portable codes to mac. Sounds like it's a step forward of sorts- but let's just say I'm not gonna get my hopes up on this "one click" tech yet.
@goodrunb lol look, other than 360 scrolling, whats so special about the mouse?
I mean I guess its cool that you can click anywhere on the mouse, but like the side swipe thing? you can do that with a tilting sroll wheel. And momentum scrolling? Why not just get hyper scrolling?
At least the mouse looks really cool, but it's going to take some convincing for someone to tell me its worth 70 bucks
If you use this mouse with OSX 10.5.8 everything works except for momentum scrolling in which you can simply run a the following command in Terminal...
Also I've noticed the mouse doesn't work at all if you switch to windows OS on your mac. So don't toss away your old mac mouse if windows is important to ya.
I love my magic mouse! It really is the future of mice.
so... why should i buy this mouse and not the standart 10 bucks mouse on the cornershop? , it does the same job , and even faster?(it has got a cable).
@hellsmond Because it's much nicer, and with a lot of multitouch gestures (it comes with only 2 finger gestures, but you can extend it with software - check my other video).
@imppy725 you can scroll sideways and zoom with a normal mouse... press ctrl and mouse wheel zoom press mouse scroll wheel move any direction so whats the point getting it
but i hate how the people who work at apple act in this video i mean look at them. they are talking about the mouse like it is the biggest thing ever!
"you can use this without thought..." and has that annoying background music. come on apple its only a mouse lol. LMAO but i still love your products Apple dont get me wrong lol!
This mouse is a downgrade. Its far to flat and just kills your wrist - its like trying to grasp and iPhone flat on a desk. Multi-touch is irrelevant when they've taken away the great function of the squeeze buttons (to switch apps etc)
Sorry Apple, but its been design over logic this time.
@miniroll32 Mac has been all about form over function for a long time. But good nonetheless. My old rolly-ball mouse just died on me so I will use the Magic for a while.
The idea behind simplicity completely fails with this concept. Sometimes things with basic complexity packed with simplicity is a much better option. If anyone wants to argue with me on which mouse is really better? Logitech has all the answers! I bought my mouse for my laptop for 30$ i do believe. It's solid in your hands and actually has something that this one doesn't. It's called buttons! Logitiech without a doubt designs the best mouses money can buy. Check and compare I dare you!
this mouse is terrible. i tested it out. if you rest both your finger on the mouse while using it (like we all do) the mouse won't know if you left or right click unless you lift a finger before clicking. yes it is touch sensitive, NO, it is not pressure sensitive. that, along with the heavy weight and poor ergonomics is not worth the purchase. guess i'll stick with my mx510.
Lol all you mac guys keep telling us to do our research!
The only people who post information on macs, are smug assholes like you who probably buy ugly hybrids thinking its going to save the planet.
p.s reading your other comments your life is going no where, in your third year of highschool you'll have to relearn everything you thought you knew... plus you love macs.
i have friends who have macs, but its only because the school makes them get em...
Although I respect you as a Mac fan/user JustinBanko (I am an Mac user myself) I have to say that you're wrong about the graphic-cards in Mac's. Although the Macbook Pro (15- and 17-inch) have a very fantastic graphic-card for a notebook, the graphic-cards in Apple's desktops such as the iMac's and Mac Pro's are not that spectacular, especially the Mac Pro as a workstation with just a mere GTX120 is kinda disappointing.
Also, Mac's are NOT cheap, but they are worth the money though!
One of the things I dislike of the mighty mouse is that ball for side scrolling gets dirty and stops working. With this mouse I thought it would be easier, but the side scrolling with two fingers does not feel comfortable at all. Moreover, the mouse being so flat seems not very ergonomic. I am not the best to assess how ergonomic it is but I would say that these two points are my main concerns with this mouse.
macs and pc's both have their advantages and disadvantages. as a pc guy, i dont have a problem with macs, i like them, but the thing i dont like is the mac community. i dont want to follow the trend that all the computer illiterate people are flocking to, because all i see when i see a mac is a douchey metro guy sitting in starbucks drinking a nonfat soy latte and writing a poem while listening to coldplay on his MAC
oh boy a mouse that works like a mouse!!!! and only 69.00 bucks!! who know mac could make a product so cheaply???? wow oh wow oh wow! I'm going to call everyone I know and let them know that I'm a complete and total tool for popping wood over a MOUSE!
This is awsome, now microsoft will have to play catch up. I teach IT for starters. A lot are elderly and have problems with the buttons. This is fantastic.
Mac Books are not made in plastic anymore. They're made by one peace of aluminum laser cut to contain the parts like hard drive etc. No wrecking pieces and the best design ever :o)
Ther's most important PROBLEM!! When you want RESET P-RAM or other thing into the STARTUP screen of MAC..it's impossibile to KEYBOARD WIRELESS, because you will need a cable connection on the Machine.. The wireless Bluetooth function ONLY when the OSX are started.......
yes it does even if it has les ghz. alsoo how fast a rpocessor is depends on how new it is. the newer processors are far more efficient so more ghz on new porcessors is like less ghz on older processors. but if you wanna truly make your computer go faster, ged an ssd. you will see a 10x increase in the speed while a faster processor may or may not give you up to 3x the speed.
Apple is and will always be the number one technological developer of all time. Just when you think things can't get better, they always surprise you with new great technology. I HATE HOW EVERYONE COPIES APPLE AND THEN TRIES TO MAKE THERE PRODUCTS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINATOR. I give it 5 months after this is released and someone like Dell or HP will come up with a mouse similar to this one. It's like there waiting for Apple to release new ideas for them!
It's ok for internrt and ofiice work.but for animation, sound and other studio work it's pain in the ass.Way better the trackball
