I hate it. It is in my drawer. I use a logitech wireless.

It also burns through batteries. Other mice can go a year without interruption.

You know, i sat down at my desk at home last night for the first time in a week or two, and my Logitech mouse seemed so odd in my hand after using this Magic Mouse at work for a while. I might have to think about switching at home. I have not even customized or figured out some of the advanced gestures, but it works really well.

I own 3 of these.
The magic mouse was clearly not designed to fit the human hand. It looks slick and sharp, but i get a cramp if i use them for more than half an hour. I see my boss trying to teach himself to use it and hes constantly flicking and pushing shit all over the place accidentally. Esp now with lion, with all those strange gestural commands.
I feel like apple mice have always had an issue with ergonomics. Remember these pieces of shit?

Don't know if it was mentioned above, but just had the same realization. Forgot my intuos at home, so found myself on a magic mouse... Result: indesign flying around like crazy. Searched around and found Magic Prefs. Using it you can customize all kinds of stuff, but all i used it for so far was to disable up/down, side/side and diagonal scrolling. No problems since. Behaves like a regular ol' mouse

- Adobe refuses to admit they fucked up scrolling in InDesign... it's so fucking frustratingmonospaced
- Yea it's shit. Not magic mouse fault.set
- Any mouse scrolling is amplified 4X in ID, and it goes in huge chunks instead of smooth. It's stupid.monospaced
- I use option-pageup/down exclusively now. Programmed into mouse buttons.monospaced

Had a Magic Mouse that died after a year.

i might get timelined for this but in ID you can turn off scrolling left & right so it just goes vertically.... sorted it out for me – until i got a wacom!
