love your honest reviews

[DRBUK]

thanks, i mean no point being bias about it, because if i am there are plenty of viewers who will prb waste there money on somnething they wont like or need, MONEY ! thats the key thing.lol.

SeteMacsFix made an interesting point about the ergonomics. saying that it is better for your hand because you arent doing repetitive hand movements. Good to see your opinion.

[DRBUK]

hmm interesting, i should check that out, thanks for that !

the 3 parts i have seen so far are great reviews of the mouse. i can't wait to see the other reviews. but wut the hell is the point of the low profile? i have used the magic mouse and yes, my hand hurt after using the mouse. the vx revolution is a great mouse and the new mx revolution looks like a beastly comfortable mouse. the apple mouse is new but i'd rather have the comfort than the pain. apple should change the low profile to a higher profile.

[DRBUK]

if u think about it, the LOW PROFILE is ESSENTIAL for gestures, u need to have a flat surface for gestures, at least thats what i think. to have a flat surface thats raised may look weird in terms of DESIGN, so ye thats apple for u .lol

I ordered a Magic Mouse today and I do have a MX Revolution, but I really hate to have the usb-reciver just for the mouse when I'm on the go.. :)

I really like your reviews, but I think it would help if you actually used the mouse with the mac throughout the review to show the viewers the points that you are making

I don't understand why people try so hard to hold your wrist at such a great arc. If you lay your hand flat on the Magic Mouse, it is ergonomic! The trend in Logitech mice is to increase the arc for every subsequent generation, but that is NOT ergonomic. The higher you have to bend your wrist, the more likely you are to get carpel tunnel; it doesn't matter if the mouse is "supporting" the high arc or not.

Lay your hand flat on the Magic Mouse, like its not even there.

Otherwise, nice review!

Place the first gen iphone on the table with the screen face up. Hold it like a mouse. That's the basic feel of the magic mouse. I'll keep my logitech performance mouse mx thank you.

Take the pain, pansy.

Your hands may be bigger than some. For me its more ergo dynamic than the mighty mouse or my HP. I wouldn't say the height determines the level of ergonomics. maybe for most users who have smaller hands it may ergonomically better. The gap isnt there ion my hand and most likely a lot have hands my size. i would not generalize it for everyone without your hand size. I have no issues like you. the locitech is to goddy. that logitech IS HUGE and clunky looking. all the buttons in the way, yuk.

The Magic Mouse is low profile because of the gestures. Try mimicking the gestures of the Magic Mouse on your MX and it'll be a little awkwards and it'd hurt your hand again because of the less natural movements. It's that way for a reason, sadly because of the way it works it has to be low profile.

[TalesOfWar]

The MX is a high DPI mouse and costs like £90 lol, so you'd surely expect it to be better than something that's £55!

Very nicely done adrian. Agree with you on both points. Tracking is bad on bigger screens, when i had the 21.5" imac - i had to literally lift the mouse up as the screen size was huge lol

[suckcari]

cant you change the tracking!!!!??????
