Magic Mouse Review: Part 5 (Final)

[drizzeling]

You boring cunt hehehe

[ProspectNY11211]

Thanks Adrian.I appreciate your dedication and your attention to detail.It does cost money lol

I think that if you're happy with just basic touch gesture functionality, go with the Magic Mouse & you should be quite happy with it!

However now that the Magic Trackpad has just come out, I would say this is the only way to go if you want total in depth touch gesture functionality like you get on MacBook trackpads.

[Keo77]

DRBUK, well I guess Apple really surprised everybody now with the recent release of the Magic Trackpad!

I already own a Magic Mouse which I purchased with my new Mac Mini in Dec 09. At first I thought that the mouse was a little lacking in gestures & so decided to download Magic Prefs to add more.

The problem with this is the Magic Mouse tended to get confused over which finger gesture you are doing. So I think I might now buy a Magic Trackpad!

[owlbabu]

@DRBUK To get the full functionality of your Magic Mouse, I suggest you get an application called MagicPrefs, with that u can set up gestures for Exposé and everything. It's awesome. Plus, you can increase tracking speed a whole lot more. It's worked wonders.

[quaternio]

Thanks for the great review. Very helpful and appreciated.

[sinthalam]

they already have a tablet device that can replace the function of apple's trackpad. If i'm not mistaken it's called bamboo...something.. :)

[thebigappl]

review nicely done, great in-depth stuff. thanks for sharing. will u be doing a ustream any time soon?

[MrToad321]

what's exposé?

[nerad4991]

check out applenerd106 he did a review on the magic mouse

[mrbit10]

gestures are not for me, i use keys with mouse and buttons on the mouse, a lot less effort with a button than a gesture IMO. I have never used gestures on any macbook that i have used where is is available.

[GreetingEarthlings]

Thanks for another great full review of a mouse.

it was because i watched all of your videos on the Logitech MX Revolution that i descided to go out and get it and it is an amazing mouse and way better than the mouse that came with the dell. I have tried the magic mouse (in the good old regents street apple store) and like it, although i don't yet have a mouse and the MX Revolution is a tough competitor.

Great vids!!!

[superc]

WTF? USB? TrackPad? Why buy a mouse then? Defeats the purpose of having a MOUSE.

Overall I don't like the gestures on the mouse itself. It's going to cause a quicker carpal tunnel condition. Logitech's buttons are still better for me.

[Scoooorn]

Poor Mac Mini doesnt get mentioned in the video...poor lil guy,,,

[AppleShakeGuru]

its for consumers, period. Not professionals. Not until a firmware update to enable middle click.

[AppleShakeGuru]

i love the mouse but where i use 3d apps and shake, they ALL use a middle click. I use hot corners for expose etc but i need a middle click. Any professional user will.

[chessdude67]

Great job! Man, I will now buy one today. :-)

5 stars on part 1-5!

Thank you for a great review.

[TalesOfWar]

I think Apple are going touch for like you said, so they can easily update it with software rather than requiring a whole new peice of hardware with physical buttons, like the iPhone. Initially features may be a little anemic but they can easily expand on them. Also I can't imagine it'll take long before someone makes a small app that lets you make custom gestures, maybe even Apple themselves will add it later in a software update.

[TheF1PinkVoltaDream]

if the microsoft arc mouse didnt existed yet and apple used the arc of that mouse in this one it would be incredible; multitouch + ergonomics. its always good to fantasize about something lol. nice review btw

[RSOP90]

We made it

[MajinFrahma]

A wireless tablet tho would be sick for gestures.

[DRBUK]

i know aye ! lol i have been suggesting that idea for at least a year, apple dont listen to me....jks.lol

[MajinFrahma]

Yeah man, you just have to try and shove the idea down their throats :)

[AppleShakeGuru]

i suggest a track pad on the keyboard in place of the number pad on the right.

[MajinFrahma]

That would be nice.

[KNWQA]

longest review evars! lol

[DRBUK]

lol i know i beat my own records, and set a benchmark...wait till i review the logitech mx pro mouse in december..lol

[Rustomdaman]

you going to review it before christmas?

[DRBUK]

yes i will try to !

[Atheismrulez]

Crap, broken link...

google(dot)com/chrome/intl/en/­eula_dev(dot)html?dl=Mac

This one works. Replace the (dot) with .

[Rp3k3]

Yea I have it, its a really good browser, its alot more stable than other browsers, but sometimes youtube videos take forever to load or not load at all.

[mj120677]

Really in depth review NICE!

[hord]

its not apples style to do that, but i could see them enabling the ipod touch and iphone for a touch pad.

[Rustomdaman]

what should i get? the magic mouse or the Logitech mx performance mouse?

[superc]

Logitech

[SiddifOnline]

Ive been testing out Edovia TouchPad for the iPhone, its a nice cheap way to get multi touch on desktop (or older laptop in my case) Macs if you already own an iPhone. i forget the price for it but search it in the AppStore, i think im gonna get the mighty mouse and use the TouchPad for multi touch.

[AppScreencast]

Thanks for the series on the magic mouse Adrian, I need a new mouse and been right undecided on getting this mouse or a logitech one, so very in depth and helpful.

[oOADROo]

Nice review dude.

[IMPMAC]

To get a middle click you can put two fingers on the surface and then click. It seems to work on this magic mouse to open a  new tab in safari

[ThingsontheWeb]

the most epic review of all time!!!

:) 5/5

[DRBUK]

lol thanks, this and my review of the aluminium macbook took AGES to prepare, this wasnt too bad, but man i was so tired after doing the aluminium macbook review.lol. that took me a month to write up, this took me about 3 days to write up.lol

[Atheismrulez]

@DRBUK

What do you think of Google Chrome for Mac? I'm typing this comment with it right now.

You can get it here:

[roger767]

great review, you've touched every aspect of the mouse.

[crimjctmajor]

Nice, it is good for old Mac user to buy it so they have multi-touch gestures-ftw, I have a macbook pro 2 months old so I have it already but I just wish the mouse was more agronomical- "Huggie"

[s3ntry93]

They should add new gestures, but tbh I wouldn't ever use three finger gestures. Couldn't they have two finger swipes up and down, which would equal expose/spaces?

[crimjctmajor]

That is to go up/down on a page-scroll

[s3ntry93]

No that's one finger scrolling, sure you CAN use two finger scrolling but that's basically for your personal preference.

As I would use one finger to scroll it would be nice to have a two finger up/down gesture versus three fingers which I wouldn't use.

[xxPI3TROxx]
