When I got a magic mouse I really tried to get used to it, because it looks so pretty, but RSI forced me to go back to logitech. The basic problem of the mouse is the touch surface. In order to allow for gestures the whole top of the mouse is interactive and the smallest touch sets it off. As a result you have to hover your fingers over the surface instead of resting the hand. In theory you can rest the back half of the hand, but in practice for me that causes accidental clicks because the whole body clicks down. The way to move the mouse is with a pincer grip. The combination of pincer and tense back of the hand by hovering the fingers is tiring and induces RSI. There is no way to keep the multitouch gestures and make the mouse ergonomic. Its strength is its weakness. Some people aren’t sensitive to RSI, for them it is fine. For me it was not. I use a logitech mouse with extra buttons. All the gestures are replaced by buttons. It works well, and I can hold it in a natural way. But it doesn’t look as nice.
