Hi Guys

Been debating a magic mouse but keep going backwards and forwards and can't make my mind up....

Any opinions please ..

Thanks

The magic mouse is far from perfect but I do like the touch scrolling and gestures etc and it does work very well with the OS. They're also really slim for putting in bags and so on. I haven't really used anything else for a while, I always find that although they're invariably (ok always) more comfortable than the MM I always always miss the gestures.

Thanks PTW, gestures are a real pull for me

Make sure you try one of those Apple mouses before you buy one - I loved the look of them until I got my hands on one and it was just too small and flat for me to use comfortably.

I had one years back feek but can't remember how it performed...

What do you use?

Magic trackpad.

Damn you

Any others to consider

Thanks for the feedback fallen....

Been looking at all the reviews and I think the Magic Trackpad is what I'm now leaning towards?

Will keep having a read ...

I actually have the trackpad as well (not the new one) but if I could only have one it'd be the mouse. I use the trackpad on the sofa etc.

Really?

Not sure which to opt for now :confused:

Can get hold of a Magic Mouse gen 1 for £25 mint condition.....

I use the mx master. It works great on my Mac, custom buttons are a nice feature. If like me your hands are anyway big, it'll feel great. It's much better in the hand compared to a Magic Mouse. I do also from time to time use the original track pad which is great for gestures.

Been looking for a replacement to my temperamental M560 (which I loved) and went for a Razer Orochi.

Had it 5 minutes and its going back. Cheap, nasty, horrible feeling thing with sharp edged and it dropped off Bluetooth twice.

Ordered an MX Anywhere 2 instead.

Will take a look at those chaps, thanks

MX Anywhere 2 arrived and is great. Highly recommended.

Is this on a MAC Skeeter?

I read reports that the BT does play ball with MACs
