Did apple make this a Mac only or is just like any ol' Bluetooth mouse?

[mattgemmelluk]

@JeremyLeroy96 Works like any mouse for basic functions. For the gestures, you'll naturally need a driver, and Apple's one is currently Mac-only. I'm sure they'll release a Windows one, and there are third-party ones too.

I dont understand why its needed a mouse does it all and a track pad is only exsists as a compact way for laptops to have a mouse

I cant understand why you'd need something like this for a desktop when it has so many disadvantages compared to a mouse mainly accuracy

not only that its not even a replacement or a cheap drawing pad for stuff like photoshop either I'm sure it would be just as bad for that as a normal laptop trackpad for drawing

does it do chinese characters or is that just a macbook thing?

looks cool but too complicated & too big

@KanonenMike257 Because it is the future i think.

[KanonenMike257]

Logitech's Anywhere MX mouse is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY BETTTER than any Apple Mouse, this is comming from a daily user of 4 different Macs.
