I'm not understanding the issue here, you can assign different areas to touch for different functions. My magic mouse has right click middle click, left click and You can make middle click by using two fingers to click if you want LOL. It's very, very easy. What i hate is the god-damn acceleration curve! If anyone knows how to get rid of it please let me know. THAT will make gaming retarded im sure
For you guys who think it's uncomfortable or ergonomically badly designed, stop humping it with the palm of your hand. It's designed to use with your finger tips. Rest the heel of your hand on the desk, hold it slightly lower than the mid-point with your thumb and your 4th finger and it's a dream to use. I have very large hands and it's most comfortable mouse I've ever used.
mine shipped today like everybody else who ordered online. Should be nice. I feel it's only the beginning since Apple patented a new 10 finger multi-touch tech, most likely for their tablet which will dominate next year.
Apple wheel rofl.... it was a spoof from the onion.
nevertheless, they are probably coming up with a tablet pc. I bet it would have a keyboard the same style as the iphone (touch screen typing) but bigger so you can use both hands.
Also if they are smart they would allow you to recognize hand writing with a stylus
it depends on what you are doing... for 90% of things i would totally agree. Gaming or other fast paced things like that a mouse will never lose. But yeah tablets are amazing
APPLE TRYING TO SIMPLIFY EVERYTHING. IT MAY SOUND KOOL TO A CERTAIN DEGREE, IN FACT, IT IS RIDICULOUS ALSO. RUMORS HAS IT THAT THEY ARE DEVELEOPING A KEYBOARDLESS COMPUTER. WTF, KEYBOARDLESS???
Geez. Why are so many Windows geeks commenting on an Apple video? They should search for that Windows 7 commercial with the 7 year old and share their thought on how great Windows 7 will be.
I'm sure you can program the middle click in. and other multiple ones, such as left AND right click at the same time? I dunno, I just assume since it's multi touch
It works the same way as the mighty mouse. There's only one single button. Hard to explain, but you can't/won't-ever be able to left/right click + middle click.
Also, I don't understand the ergonomics. The body is so low, that even the hand model here holds it only with the tips of his fingers, as if it were some micro mobile mouse for laptops.
Yeah, it's actually pretty useless. Why not just a regular mouse with more than one button? Makes more sense. And you can right & left click at the same time so you can play FPS without getting pissed off ;).
my doesn't let me zoom in when i hold control D:

@dylanfleck I'm sure you can use it on a PC, but I don't think that the multitouch gestures will work.

You can - but only as a normal mouse. No multi-touch gestures for Windows, unless someone develops a driver for it.

I'd really like to know what new functionality this mouse brings with it.
- 360 scrolling: not so different from autoscrolling (though requires no clicking -- a plus).
- Swipe: seems harder on the fingers than scrolling the wheel and/or using the side back/forward buttons.
- Middle click: not sure how it separates from left/right clicks. Telepathic maybe?
- "Can zoom windows": Ctrl+Scrollwheel zoomed windows for ages. What's so new here?
So I'd say it's a great idea poorly implemented.
