Apple Magic Mouse

I didn’t want to do it. I didn’t plan to do it, but boy-oh-boy am I glad i did! I bought an Apple Magic Mouse this weekend.

My Apple Mouse experiences have been hit and miss. I liked some things about the Mighty Mouse. The little scroll nipple on the Mighty Mouse is extremely pleasurable to use until it stops working. In seems to always stop working.

When Apple announced the Magic Mouse, I went to the Apple Store and tried it out. I loved that it’s surface recognizes multitouch gestures, but I was disappointed that it only supports a few. I really wanted pinch and zoom and since it doesn’t do that, I left the Apple Store empty handed.

Last time I was at the Apple Store I decided to get one. The thing I like about it is very basic–it saves time. Multitouch gestures adds a little bit of speed to just about every little thing I do with the mouse. Just the ability to scroll with two fingers left, right, up and down, made my work go faster today. I’m not talking about loads of time…it’s more like microseconds that add up to minutes in a day.

If you’ve been on the fence, jump off and go get you one!
