I guess I’m in the minority. I like the Magic Mouse. Using finger swipes to navigate pages has made it hard for me to go back to a standard mouse. I thought the charging port would be a problem but it’s never been an issue. Every few weeks I make sure to plug it in as I’m getting up from my desk.
Not alone. I have always been a “fingertip” mouse user, in that I don’t rest my full hand on the mouse, only my fingertips. I generally use a small mouse when using Windows, and find the Apple mouse to be about right.
Yeah same. I’m not resting my hand in it. Is that what people do? I have a hard time using a standard mouse in illustrator. I need to scroll all the directions and the Logitech I use for windows CAD work while ergonomic doesn’t have that kind flexibility for fluid movement. I love the Magic Mouse.
Yeah same experience. It has a long battery life, multi touch, swipes, all of that make it a great daily driver for work. Even if it runs out of batteries a couple of mins are enough to keep you going until a break in your work. I really like it.
I don’t think most people complain about any of those things. A lot of people (including me) find the flat design terrible ergonomically. Do you find yourself using it as a trackpad more than actually physically moving the mouse around?
I’m an audio engineer, and the gesture controls make life so much easier in a DAW. I work on podcasts and audio books so swiping through hours of audio effortlessly makes it worth it to me hands down.
Yeah,it’s great as a graphic designer too, being able to scroll and pan around the workspace with ease. Been using the Magic Mouse since 2009 when it was new and bundled with my iMac.
Also in the Audio world. Being able to freely scroll around the timeline in a fast paced session is an invaluable feature. Wish there was a more ergonomic model.
Same, have been using it for over a year now, litterally only charge it once a month, I guess ppl don’t realize how long it last, and that it tells you multiple times that the mouse is at low battery. All you do is plug it in when you get off your computer after you get the pop up, it’s really not too serious in my opinion.
Once a month is short when you come from a mouse that lasts 3 months or a year before charging. But as modern mice became more energy hungry that isn’t even bad anymore. The charging port on the bottom is just a joke though and ergonomics are terrible for most. I think Apple has a lot of great hardware but they just can’t do mice.
Same. And being left handed I appreciate its utterly neutral shape. I can set left hand click to be on the right side of the mouse and it’s exactly the same design feel wise as the standard orientation. So many designs favor righties but I never adapted to using a mouse right handed.
