I spilled oil IN IT (and all over it), coffee all over it (many times) beer, pop, ashes, dropped it alot etc. It is the only piece of computer hardware that I have owned that long and treated like complete garbage (I got it for $20 and it was supposed to be a temporary replacement) the wheel is still fine, so are the optics. It is the only thing I have NEVER had to install a driver or any software (even in osx, which was pretty suprising. It has outlasted my timex watch.

That magic mouse seems kind of, not very useful? I still use 2 buttons, if I had one exactly the same size and shape as this with 5 I'd use that, my hand is a deformed claw now exactly conformed to this mouse, I can't see how that could be useful except on a laptop, which has them anyway.

1) not so far, the underside angle feels really well designed for the grip.

2) right click is great so far. I'm guessing the capacitive touch knows where your finger is when you click

@Don

of my RSI acted up, I'd stop using it. The lack of personal responsibility is stupefying. I switched from Palm to iPhone and didn't consider BlackBerry due to RSI, I never once considered suing anybody... Wow. Just. Wow.

The design forces you to hold the device in a way that avlouds touching it with your palm or funky things happen. After half an hour my entire forearm was aching.

Am I the only one that smells class action? Maybe it's the odor of lawyers salivating.

It's like adding a power window button on the end of an old hand-crank knob.

Since I have yet to take the trip to the Apple store to try it out, two further qestions, if you do not mind:

1) Ergonomics. Do you have any problem with having to keep your hand strained to accommodate how flat it is, or is that issue overblown?

2) Is the right click any better than the Mighty Mouse, or does this mouse also misinterpret right clicks frequently unless the left finger is moved significantly as well?

Temper? I too have been commenting for years (roughly 2), not in the thread, only under a different name. I'd suggest we not make this a pissing contest. And seeing how you are so defensive, my statement holds even more water. So the question remains...does it hurt you to read something indirectly, or in my opinion, directly related to the iPhone? It obviously hurts your feelings...

Where did you find this preference? I'm running 10.5.8 on an older iMac. I'm probably just dense, but could someone please enlighten me. Thanks.

I <3 my Windows 7 box, but I'm no chump. I've seen PLENTY of blue screens from Vista and XP in my past. I've seen my share of kernel panics from OS X as well. No OS is bulletproof especially when multiple sources of hardware and software come into play.

The Magic Mouse looks really nice and I'd like to try one out.

On my PC I'm using the Logitech MX Revolution for the past few years and I really REALLY like it. I wish I had one at the office.

Hey blake, new to the internet little kid? Ive been supporting this blog way back to where i was the only commenter so dont come in here thinking you know everything. Back to preschool with you /Thread.

Holy crap--the commentors on here are like YouTube comments. So nasty right off the bat. Scary.

Btw, full feed RSS definitely should be reconsidered.

The multi-touch technology of the iPhone led to the multi-touch magic mouse. Why is this so hard to understand? And are you physically harmed in any way by reading something that indirectly deals with the iPhone? You wasted time posting, so obviously time constraints are not an issue.

"the right hardware" umm been there, done that. MSFT is far from "just works". I'll pass tyvm.

I have work to do and cannot afford BSOD or format lol

Hey, at least u didn't say First lol
