Magic Mouse not so magic

Dont you like the trackpad on your MBP?

I've haven't used the touchpad on laptops for ages, but the MBP trackpad is a very superior beast to most other laptops, so I might give it some time to get accustomed to the trackpad and then decide if I need something else.
When I unpacked the machine and realised how different the trackpad was, it did cross my mind that I may have been to quick to buy the MM.

Another problem I have is that my watch scrapes on the body of the MBP while typing - been taking the watch off, but wondered if others have an issue with this.

You should also try logitech's free touch mouse app. (it has the horizontal scrolling you seek. )

so does airmouse pro, will check out the logitech app too.

Any mouse will do for me, currently using old Mighty Mouse (late 2006 model).

I got a Mac Pro (2007) and a new 17" Macbook Pro and the MM works 100% on both.

the problem with bluetooth range seems limited (mostly) to the 2009 mac pro range

I'm not keeping up with the image - my Citizen will serve me for many years to come.

It looks like "BetterTouchTool " gets the best ratings, but I can't get it to work on my MBP - anyone have suggestions what could be wrong - is it compatible with the latest version of OS-X ?

Today I must make my decision to take it back for a refund, or not - I am getting more accustomed to the MBP trackpad - less dependant on the mouse - I'll miss the scroll momentum function on the mouse.

I also find it a bit ostentatious but it was a graduation gift so what am I gonna do.

Return the mouse - I havent used the newer buttonless trackpads that much (a few days at most) but they are pretty good imo.
