For the past two years, I have been in love
with my Magic Mouse. It truly stands as an
innovative product that provides an interactive
experience with your PC like none other.
If there have been any issues whatsoever, it
would be the continuous loss of bluetooth
connection (a widespread problem if you search
the internet). I constantly have to lightly bang
the mouse on the pad to get it to reconnect.
Another problem is that is collects dirt on its
rubber tracks and across the eye, causing the
tracking to stutter. I constantly have to clean
the bottom of it and blow out the eye area.
...however, for the most part, I would still rather
use the magic mouse than a standard one.
Thing is, with the announcement of LION and
all its included gestures, the Magic Mouse has
suddenly become a bit obsolete as it is unable
to handle all the new swiping movements.
Today I plan to order the Magic Trackpad. Not
particularly fond of the fact that I am moving
from a mouse to a stationary pad that replicates
the laptop experience -- but I do think there are
a lot of positives to be had in the long run.
Of course, the gestures are the main reason
I am moving towards a trackpad. I can use
all of them that will be available on Lion.
Secondly, this trackpad has is large, with a
lot of real estate. I look forward to being able
to scroll across my large 27" display without
the mouse rolling off the small pad.
Ergonomically speaking, the trackpad is also
allegedly better on the wrist and hands than
using a mouse.
Anyone here using the Magic Trackpad and
care to comment on it?
