I bought the mouse if for no other reason that it duplicated most of my trackpad's functionality when I'm plugged into an external monitor. I'm exclusively a laptop user, so I've used nothing but trackpads for years, but plugging into a 30" screen requires me to push the laptop aside.
The magic mouse is suited more for very small hands. I don't have small hands. Given how little I'm plugged in it's tolerable though. This is their first mouse that I have actually chosen above other market options.
The only real show-stopper is the touch scrolling sensitivity. In applications such as InDesign and Photoshop (in full screen mode), there's a tendency to jump suddenly miles away on the viewing area from random touches.

- mattmaroon 17y agoDo you find that the two-fingered side swipe thing is a disaster to? I couldn't pull it off without simultaneously moving the mouse.
- weaksauce 17y agoI think it takes some getting used to but with a touch of practice the swipe can be done easily. I am sure if you have a very slick surface though the mouse will move no matter what. I really like the mouse for it's scrolling. Especially the side to side movements and the weighted scroll. I dislike not having a middle click and the right and left click are dependent on one another. I need the right and left click to be independent for rocker gestures.
