Well, I finally did it. After going back and forth to the Apple Store for a few days, I decided to buy the newly released Magic Mouse, and a better name could not have been given to this technological wonder…
Right out the box (following the near 70mb software update required for it) it was working like a charm. Having used slim Kensington mice of late, most recently the slim-blade media mouse, I found that the Magic Mouse felt very comfortable in the hand and natural to use.
The scrolling is very smooth and intuitive, much more so than a conventional scroll wheel, and the buttons feel very positive. The mouse is a good weight, and feels comfortable and sturdy.
I read a lot of reviews before buying the mouse, and many people have had problems with it. To an extent, I can understand why, and I thought long and hard about making the purchase, but for me personally, this is what the mouse should have been years ago, and I could not be happier with it.
There is no shortcut on the mouse for expose and dashboard, but I only have one hand on the mouse, and find the other very useful for pressing the dedicated keys on my aluminium keyboard on the rare occasion that I need either (those with classic keyboards may struggle, but if you have the full sized alum model, you have no excuse)
My rating for the mouse.. for me a no brainer.. 12/10 but some it seems, a waste of money.
Each to his/her own
