Hey everyone!

Has anyone got an Apple Magic Mouse? I've got a 15" late 2009 MacBook Pro and I've not got a mouse yet. I need to get back into web design after a few months travelling and considered one of these. Are they any good for design etc? I'm new to working on a Mac after years of painful Windows design so I'm not sure how these are.

Thanks in advance

I like macs, but I hate their mice (mouses?). I've not tried this one mind but seems too funky to be practical.

I use a Magic Mouse with my 15" Late '09 MacBook Pro, and I love it :good:

The scrolling is literally magical, it makes using an ordinary mouse quite tiresome!

I know this thread is old but, I use PC usually but have worked on a few macs when freelancing in-house, the magic mouse is an absolute brilliant tool, there is also a great app you can get for it, forgot the bloody name now though! Typical.

I got one on my new Mac. Its nice but I prefer a big chunky mouse that fits my hand. It doesn't seem very ergonomically designed - my little finger starts to ache after a bit of time using it. I prefer my £15 PC mouse

I have one for my mac as well and it does what all mice should which is good. the only thing i find a pain is the gesture for moving back and forward, i have a tendancy to move the mouse and the gesture doesnt work. could just be me but that about all i find annoying about it.
