FPS gaming is the sole reason I keep a dinky Logitech wheel mouse connected to my Mac. Otherwise, I, like you, find Apple's Magic Trackpad to be quite sufficient for the type of work I do. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

Click and drag is how this was always done by using the hand drag tool. That tool was removed and we can't click and drag an image anymore. Now we have to click and drag the scroll bars to move the image. -- K. Lang may your lum reek.

But "So they broke it for mouse users?" was in response to my comment about the trackpad; it didn't logically follow my comment at all. But I believe that with the Magic Mouse, you can still move an image around using the touch surface as if it were a trackpad. The Magic Mouse is the default mouse that's shipped with iMac these days. With all other Macs, you have to buy a mouse separately if you want to use a mouse with it.

Form and function climaxed at the Mighty Mouse. Too bad they didn't
make it more easy to dismantle as it does need cleaning from time to
time.

Agree. the tactile response from moving the ball is not see in the magic mouse. Sometimes an app does not respond to movemenbt of finger and you can't tell if the mouse registered it and app not responding, or if the mouse didn't register it. For tghe Mighty Mouse, a removable top cover that could be washed with dishwashiung soap would have been best. No need to dismantle the tiny rollers etc, just dunk that plastic in soapy water to wash it off and then use hair drier to dry it.

I've never had problems with any of Apple's mice as such, not even the original iMac's round "puck" mouse ... although the stupid "squeeze me" buttons on the later mice were always quickly turned off. I haven't used the Magic Mouse enough to know yet, but at least some of the touch functions of that will also be quickly turned off - needing to keep your fingers raised slightly off the mouse is a good recipe for RSI problems.

I liked the puck mouse too, but never went back to the sub-par line of Apple mice after I got my first optical mouse - a MS Intellimouse in about 2001 IIRC. After that I got a Razor DeathAdder, then when Razor made their driver unbelievably stupid (requires 'cloud' access or most features are no longer accessible) I got a Logitech G500s last year when my DeathAdder's scrollwheel broke. The G500s isn't quite as nice feeling or shaped as my old DeathAdder or it's newer stupider version, but the G500s requires no customer driver and 'just works' really well (though I do use USB Overdrive to setup the buttons for different apps). It is also a little more sturdy feeling than the DeathAdder. FYI - my MS Intellimouse contiues to function perfectly after 12 years, though it's now relegated to backup status. It really is built like a tank - I like to say it's the original Game Boy of mice! :-) It's only downside is it's feet are a lot less slick than modern mice, but other than that, it is as good as the day I bought it. -- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

The pea ball on the top of the Mighty Mouse might look stupid but it allows me to scroll a doc in both directions while moving the mouse around. Most handy for a window that's in the background while I work on a foreground window - such as typing into it while being able to scroll the other one without this focus follows mouse rubbish which would prevent me from doing that. -- Tim "That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted" -- Bill of Rights 1689

It's less efficient (till the scroll ball gets clogged with dust, anyway), but my Logitech g500s' scrollwheel pivots from side to side to scroll horizontally, and never gets stuffed up by dust and debris. -- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Looks like it has lots of unwanted buttons etc on it. -- Tim "That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted" -- Bill of Rights 1689

They don't get in the way for me. The two to the left of the left mouse button are for adjusting the mouse's DPI, no custom driver needed (or you can set them using the custom driver to do other stuff). The three above where you rest your thumb I use for Exposé functions or game controls using USB Overdrive or the game's own setup. I've miss-clicked a button only twice in the year since I got the G500s - a lot less than the I do on the MS Intellimouse with it's too-large side buttons, the Apple mice with their squeezes, middle click and 'entire shell is the button', or did with my now broken DeathAdder, which had it's side buttons a little too near my thumb. -- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

I never came across anyone I work with with a Mighty Mouse that ever had issues with the scrollball getting clogged up ... you should clean your desk more often. ;-)
