So after a day of usage. I found only one flaw in the mouse. And two limitations.
As you might know, i’m on my computer a lot. For various things. I use the mouse a lot. One thing that still bothers me is the lack of proper right clicking.
This was awkward with the Mighty Mouse but it’s worse with the Magic Mouse. As i still use windows from time to time and am very fond of right-click-menus even in OS X i’ve enabled that option. However you can only use it when you kinda let go of the mouse and tap on the right side. With any ordinary mouse you can just leave your index finger on the left side and and right click with the middle finger. But with the multitouch of the Magic Mouse, something that was vaguely present in the Mighty Mouse, makes right clicking while touching the left side do other things. It’s annoying. So i have to lift my index finger and then right click. But be careful not to touch the sides of the mouse. Maybe it’s just getting used to, but with the Mighty Mouse i hated it and threw it aside after a few days.
The Limitations i found are it’s size and surface. It’s a bit too small for my hands. I have big hands. And am used to a handful of mouse. Like the Logitech MX518. Remember those? They are just fine. Now it’s like shoving around a swollen up touchpad. But that’s not so bad. It just takes a bit of getting used to.
The surface is plain plastic, shiny stuff. But when my hands are a bit sweaty the mouse is not so smooth for swiping stuff. I then have to grip the mouse to actually use the multitouch or you simply push the mouse away. But that’s a small hinderance from time to time.
Other than that it’s been a blast. If you’ve used the multi touch laptops from Apple. You know how it works. Swipe swoosh slide tap and something happens. The way you want it! It works very natural and easy. The scrolling is very neat. It works with some accelerometer that if you scroll faster or a larger distance you scroll faster and when you stop the scrolling slows down in a second or so. It’s great!
A huge fail is that the apparently new bluetooth module in the iMac has no driver for Windows. Am i weird to refuse using this iMac with Windows and a wired set? I hooked it up for the installation of course since Windows still is kinda dumb when it comes to installers. But when i got to the desktop i *have to* use the bluetooth. I bought Bluetooth so i want to use it. Period. At the moment this seems impossible so i shut down windows mid-action and didn’t do a thing with it since. I probably won’t until there is a Bluetooth driver.
