Ask HN: What do you think of the Magic Mouse?
ASK HN: What do you think of the Magic Mouse?
- cpr 17y agoThe real question is whether it supports more than 2 finger touches at a time. If it secretly supports 3 or more, could be a submarine killer product...

- thegoleffect 17y agoI like it but I would much rather have a wireless keyboard with multitouch surfaces on each key so you can use the keyboard as a trackpad.
- yan 17y agoI have been using the multi-touch gestures on my macbook for years and believe that they are a usability improvement. I am excited to see them implemented on a mouse, but what I'm even more excited is a surface that's extremely easy to clean and has no moving parts. The Mighty Mouse's ball got gunky really quick and was very awkward to use. I'm sure Apple spent a lot of time getting the feel right and if I needed a new mouse, I probably wouldn't hesitate to get it.
- dan_sim 17y agoI'm a ubuntu user and I feel like sometimes Windows and Linux are caught in a battle while Apple makes its own way. I used this multi-touch gesture a couple of times on someone else computer and it just feels right. How many years will it take before this kind of technology is available on Ubuntu or Win?
- vlod 17y agoLooks cool and will try it at my local apple store. I'm glad it doesn't have a ball like the previous mighty mouse, which kept getting clogged up. The only thing that would unclog that sucker was some 'decent' vodka on a cloth from my stores. no joke. :)
