I have actually used each of the mice I mentioned - let me give you some feedback. I was referring to the advanced gestures which is not a fair comparison to simple scrolling. But even simple one finger scrolling I struggled with - it could just be my hands in particular. The entire frame clicking that they have had on various mice including the Magic Mouse just doesn't have the same clicky-ness as an average Logitech or Microsoft mouse. It is marketed by a touchpad - they refer to it as a multi touch device "The world’s first Multi-Touch mouse". That is the same thing they call their touchpad - "The largest Multi-Touch trackpad ever."

You should have just written that in the first place, then. You made it sound as though you need two fingers in order to scroll, that it doesn't provide any feedback when you click, and that there are only two buttons. In fact, there is only one button, but multiple gestures that serve as additional buttons, and if your beef with the mouse was that it's difficult to pull these gestures off, that'd be one thing. But to say it only has two buttons is inaccurate and none of them provide feedback is entirely misleading. Combine the Magic Mouse with Better Touch Tool (http://blog.boastr.net/ http://blog.boastr.net/) and you have yourself one killer mouse. I wouldn't give it up for any mouse in the world. BTW, including a picture of an iMac's mouse plugged into a Macbook into this post was also misleading - the cord is intentionally short because it was intended to plug into the iMac's keyboard, not be an all-purpose peripheral.

  I was just ranting about my struggles with Apple mice - I don't feel it is misleading or inaccurate. The image had been passed around earlier this week - I clearly state it is "An unfair image because the mouse is made to be used with a keyboard with a usb port on the left and right side, but a valid point."

    How can a point be both unfair and valid? And I have no problem with people ranting about stuff, as long as they do their due diligence.

      Unfair given the lack of context. Valid because a mouse should be portable to any computer, especially made from the same company.
