I'm very interested in a multi-touch device for my desktop machine but Apple burned some bridges with the Mighty Mouse. I have 3 of them and each one has developed scrolling problems. If they managed to miss this design flaw with the Mighty Mouse I'm betting the Magic Mouse is going to have some horrible problem too in the long run. I don't suppose Apple would take my collection of useless Mighty Mouses in return for a shiny new Magic Mouse? (yeah didn't think so)
I'm holding out until Apple, or someone else, releases a keyboard/touchpad combo that is basically the bottom half of a MacBook. Nice soft chicklet keys, big multi-touch pad, a built in USB hub, maybe an SD card reader, illuminated keys, etc. I've even considered buying the topcase + trackpad/keyboard assembly from a MacBook and building my own. The only touchpad/keyboard combos I can find have a tiny postage stamp sized touchpad hastily attacked to some junky early 90's quality keyboard. If anyone happens to know of a good quality touchpad/keyboard please let me know.
- ptuzla 17y agoI've had scrolling problems with my two Apple Mighty Mice, too. The second was just bought for this reason. Then I saw someone explaining how to fix this. And it definitely works. Place a sheet of paper on your desk, and rub the poor mouse's scroll ball rigorously on the paper in all directions. After that you'll get the feeling of a brand new one.
