So wait what, there was a slew of new product launched by Apple yesterday that didn’t involve a press conference or frail man dressed in black? Oh snap… it happens folks.
One of the most interesting things announced yesterday wasn’t all the shiney new computers, with shiney new specs. No it was a new mouse.
Apple has been experimenting with unique mice designs for a long time. First there was the puck, which was about as ergonomic as a hockey puck. Then came the Mighty Mouse, which failed to be very mighty at all. But now we have the Magic Mouse, and Apple may have finally got one right.
The Magic Mouse is a small curved form, with no obvious buttons. But it will register both left and right click by just forgetting about the lack of physical buttons and “clicking.”
However the best part of the new mouse is that the whole top surface of it is multi touch sensitive. meaning you can use two fingers to scroll swipe and pinch your way around the elegant Apple Interface.
Gizmodo has a full review (link in title) and they seem to be fairly impressed with it, claiming that you can use almost the whole surface of the mouse to scroll down a page.
All my macs are notebooks now, which obviously include all this int he track pad, but, I have been considering adding a Mac Mini at home for podcasting and maybe even my photography. If I do that I will be checking out on of these pretty little things.
