Swop Magic Mouse for Trackpad

[mon_star]

I tried to get the iStore to swop them in store when we bought our new 27 " iMac, but nope. They retail for same price and now I have two magic mice (mouses?)

Anyone want a straight swop?

Yeah I have one - Pretoria

Think I might have been vague in description. Do you have a mouse or trackpad? Pm me.

I wanted to swop my Magic Mouse for a Trackpad also, but I got used to it. Still want a Trackpad though. In other words, my post here is useless to you

Having used one a lot (gonna still swap with mon_star, sorry), I would say the best is to have both. The trackpad is the best for gestures in Lion and scrolling but occasionally you do want a mouse for precision selection.

I ordered my BTO iMac with the TrackPad instead ... so far I'm loving it and I think Lion is just gonna improve on that. ... and I've never been a fan of track pads on laptops.

I might still get a MagicMouse as well, although ergonomicaaly I might choose to use my MS Laser Mouse 8000 (also BT) instead.

Any chance of a new version MagicMouse soon?

Well Apple don't often refresh products like Mice or keyboards. And I think they got it right with the Magic mouse. Doubt they will refresh it.

From what I have read, I may need to take my magic mouse out of the dawer once Lion is launched. i have never used the Magic Mouse since buying the trackpad. The scrolling is too frustrating to live with.

Firstly, what's frustrating about a Magic Mouse's scrolling? And, if anything Lion is more biased towards the trackpad.

Magic Mouse is getting better each day for me. Still use my Logitech mouse for games.

Worst is Google Maps though. Magic Mouse is just a big fail orgy on Google Maps.

I dunno - I could never get used to the Magic Mouse. I have big hands and it was not comfortable at all. Replaced it with a Logitech mouse and was just tons better.

I would like to try the Magic Trackpad, but just not convinced yet... I need precision most of the time - graphics design and UI layouts etc. and I think the Trackpad will just not cut it for me.

Oh well, to each his own I guess...

Eish - that Magic Mouse drove me batty - inadvertent swipes send the cursor all over the place. Y'all are welcome to it - I sold mine

...and for some reason it ate batteries too

...and for some reason it ate batteries too

Quite an understatement .........

Second set in so many weeks. Not nice.
