Apple Magic Mouse w/Multi-Touch Demo - World's First Multi-Touch Mouse

Apple today has unveiled a whole new line of products, including the iMac, Mac Mini, and MacBook. Full details here: http://adf.ly/jWd

"Weve built a better mouse.

It began with iPhone. Then came iPod touch. Then MacBook Pro. Intuitive, smart, dynamic. Multi-Touch technology introduced a remarkably better way to interact with your portable devices — all using gestures. Now weve reached another milestone by bringing gestures to the desktop with a mouse thats unlike anything ever before. It's called Magic Mouse. It's the world's first Multi-Touch mouse. And while it comes standard with every new iMac, you can also add it to any Bluetooth-enabled Mac for a Multi-Touch makeover."

"Seamless Multi-Touch Surface
Magic Mouse — with its low-profile design and seamless top shell — is so sleek and dramatically different, it brings a whole new feel to the way you get around on your Mac. You cant help but marvel at its smooth, buttonless appearance. Then you touch it and instantly appreciate how good it feels in your hand. But its when you start using Magic Mouse that everything comes together.

The Multi-Touch area covers the top surface of Magic Mouse, and the mouse itself is the button. Scroll in any direction with one finger, swipe through web pages and photos with two, and click and double-click anywhere. Inside Magic Mouse is a chip that tells it exactly what you want to do. Which means Magic Mouse wont confuse a scroll with a swipe. It even knows when youre just resting your hand on it."

"Laser-Tracking Engine
Magic Mouse uses powerful laser tracking thats far more sensitive and responsive on more surfaces than traditional optical tracking. That means it tracks with precision on nearly every surface — whether its a table at your favorite cafe or the desk in your home office — without the need for a mousepad."

"Wireless

Magic Mouse connects wirelessly to your Mac via Bluetooth, so theres no wire or separate adapter to worry about. Pair Magic Mouse with your Bluetooth-enabled Mac and enjoy a reliable and secure connection up to 33 feet away. When you combine Magic Mouse with the Apple Wireless Keyboard, you create a workspace free of annoying cables.

And because Magic Mouse is wireless, it can venture beyond the confines of your desk. A quick flick of the on/off switch helps conserve battery power while Magic Mouse is tucked in your bag. Even when its on, Magic Mouse manages power efficiently, by detecting periods of inactivity automatically."

"Make one great gesture after another.

Multi-Touch technology on the iPhone and iPod touch introduced a breakthrough way to interact with your content. Magic Mouse, with its Multi-Touch surface, does the same thing for your Mac. When you use gestures, its as if youre touching whats on your screen. For instance, swiping through web pages in Safari gives you the feeling of flicking through pages in a magazine. And scrolling with Magic Mouse isnt your everyday scrolling. It supports momentum scrolling (similar to iPhone and iPod touch), where the scrolling speed is dictated by how fast or slowly you perform the gesture."

"Click
Magic Mouse is an advanced point-and-click mouse that lets you click and double-click anywhere on its Multi-Touch surface."

"Two-button click
Magic Mouse functions as a two-button mouse when you enable Secondary Click in System Preferences. Left-handed users can reassign left and right click, as well."

"360° scroll
Brush one finger along the Multi-Touch surface to scroll in any direction and to pan a full 360 degrees."

"Screen zoom
Hold down the Control key on your keyboard and scroll with one finger on Magic Mouse to enlarge items on your screen."

"Two-finger swipe
Using two fingers, swipe left and right along the Multi-Touch surface to advance through pages in Safari or browse photos in iPhoto."

"Give it your personal touch.

Maybe you want scrolling but dont want swiping. Or two-button clicking instead of one. Whatever the case, Magic Mouse works the way you want it to work. All you do is go to the Magic Mouse preference pane in System Preferences to enable or disable features.

The ambidextrous design of Magic Mouse means it fits comfortably in your right hand if youre a righty or in your left hand if youre a lefty. And left-handers can easily swap left and right button functionality using System Preferences."

Can I use this on my PC or does it have to be mac? I so want one but I'm not getting it unless I can use it on my PC because I don't have a mac.

[BeSweeeet]

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

[BeSweeeet]

@dylanfleck Turns out that it can work perfectly on a PC: labnol .org/software/apple-magic-trac­kpad-with-windows/14158/

...no middle click?

[BeSweeeet]

That's another reason why I don't want one. Totally forgot about middle click. I NEED THAT!

[FlegDesigns]

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

[BeSweeeet]

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.

[Tony0817]

this is awesome, basically a touchpad and mouse

[Mathiiazh]

NO its only for mac :P

[jmantheburninator]

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.
