Magicprefs does not recognize magic mouse 1
(it's slowly improving, but right-click context menus are not really in the Apple culture). Option-Shift-Command-Delete really, so I'm modifying a modification or a modifier key? Wow, that's totally discoverable. Unusable and unpredictable acceleration curve with no exposed configuration to tune it, and decades of trying everything possible to avoid having a second button has created all kinds of nonstandard ways of handling right mouse clicks and all kinds of legacy keyboard gyrations for simple actions that could just be handled through a right-click context menu. To make matters worse, the way mouse inputs are handled is similarly bad. Problems with their pointer devices are noticeable to anybody withing the first 5 minutes of using the device. They're practically unusable, poorly tested, unreliable, overly expensive garbage. If Apple starts designing mice we all want to use - it is a sign their engineering practices have turned upside down and their products will not have the same minimalistic qualities that make them incredibly popular.Īpple mice suck. > Apple mice seem to be the canary in the coal mine. If they ever add gestures for copy / paste I won't know what to do with myself. It is also nice in an IDE where I spend most of my time because you can navigate select and modify all in single hand stroke. And for Photoshop it is a huge productivity booster. I do 3D work as a hobby from my old simulation days, and now days I use Blender, the pan, room, rotate is so natural with a trackpad it is unbelievable.
I really think Apple has done a poor job of marketing this one, as I think most that have used it would agree, it is a mouse killer. One day I realized that I just never pulled my mouse out of my bag anymore. If I used a desktop, I would use the peripheral trackpad no doubt, I could no go back to a mouse now.Īnother poster mentioned above that they slowly realized that they stopped using their mouse, that is what happened to me as well. The point being, it is nothing like a traditional trackpad experience and for me personally it is superior to a mouse. 2 finger click to right click, the list goes on. You swipe two fingers to scroll up/down click the pad to click. There are no buttons the whole thing is a button. It is a multi-touch device similar to the iphone but without the display.
Apple's trackpad is vastly different from a traditional trackpad.
