Earlier this month, Apple released its new Magic Mouse. Leave it to Apple to take something as simple as the computer mouse and totally revolutionize it. In its early days, Apple was the only computer available with a mouse. Now it is unheard of for a computer company to release a computer without a mouse, but once again, Apple is stepping ahead of the curve with the new Magic Mouse. The concept behind the Magic Mouse was taken from other Apple products that have worked so well, such as the iPhone, iTouch and MacBook Pro. All of these Apple products use a glass surface as a touch pad that is highly sensitive and extremely intuitive. The way these touch pads are designed seemed to work so well that the people at Apple decided to make it available to anybody who uses a mouse. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with some of the Magic Mouse’s key features and it will surely rise to the top of your wish list.
-Â Magic Mouse uses laser technology. Most mice use optical tracking technology, which loses effectiveness on many surfaces. The Magic Mouse takes it to the next level by implementing laser technology that is highly effective on most any surface, with or without a mouse pad.
- Magic Mouse is wireless. Say goodbye to the mess of wires with the Magic Mouse because there is no need for them.
- Magic Mouse uses multi-touch technology. If you are familiar with the multi-touch technology on a MacBook Pro, then you will love the Magic Mouse. By using different finger gestures you can perform different functions with your Magic Mouse. You can scroll through pages as if you are reading a book, zoom in or out on an item, rotate an item on your screen, and click or double click on an item from any where on the Magic Mouse.
- You can personalize the Magic Mouse. Because everybody has personal preferences when it comes to computing, the Magic Mouse makes it possible for individuals to set up the functionality according to their tastes.
- The Magic Mouse has only one smooth surface. Say goodbye to buttons with the Magic Mouse because it is made of only one smooth glass surface. You can perform any of the Magic Mouse functions from using finger gestures anywhere on the surface of the mouse. After taking a few moments to learn the gestures, the Magic Mouse will enable you to be entirely more efficient on your computer.
Like most new devices, there is somewhat of a learning curve on the Magic Mouse. This is especially true if you are unfamiliar with the track pad on a MacBook or MacBook Pro. However, the learning curve is quite small and it pays great dividends to master it. You can make the most of your computer by purchasing the new Magic Mouse for under $70.
