This new Apple magic mouse is the nuts!!

I picked up my new Apple mouse today and it quite simply the best mouse I have ever used.

I love everything about it, the way it looks, the way it feels in my hand, the weight and above all the functionality. The mouse uses a touch screen technology that is in effect the same as the iphone. there is no scroll wheel but instead the entire surface of the mouse is touch sensitive.

But it’s the sensitivity that does it for me,  if you scroll your finger slowly then the screen moves slow, if you give it a “flick” then the page flies down the screen!!  Users of the iphone will know what I am talking about here and it really starts to become addictive after a while. You can scroll in any direction you want to and there is never an issue with the mouse picking up your movements.

I have to say that the release of this mouse from Apple really went under the radar as  like everything Apple seem to release at the moment, it really is an amazing piece of kit.  it is expensive yes, but the build quality alone is worth the price tag and the extra technology is an added bonus.

The only downside is that its not compatible with windows. I fully understand why they did this  as it would almost be like handing the crown jewels over to the thief , but I would love to use this mouse with Windows 7!!!

If you own a n Apple and you need a new mouse then buy one. Many thanks to my colleagues at our IT Support London office for sorting me one out!!!
