personally, its too heavy and too low profile for me..
i used it for about 2 weeks and then chucked it in my drawer..
i know this is weird, but i have been addicted to these microsoft mice forever..they are just so comfortable .. i dont know what to say.. i keep thinking i need a new mouse, and everytime i go looking, i never find anything that feels right.
i have about 3 of them, just incase 1 breaks.

- sucks that your scroller only runs vertical.omg
- yeah, i does annoy me occasionally..
autoflavour - I have the same one in black.section_014
- models of this have side to side scroll as well, I had one in black but gave it awayalbums

I have the Logitech Performance MX and I love it. I have large hands and I really appreciate the ergonimics and heavy weight of this mouse. Plus, it's wireless, it's laser (can work on most surfaces, even glass), can be charged with a standard USB cable, has a free-spinning scroll wheel (with a clutch to switch back to notch scrolling), and has some extra useful buttons.
Highly recommend. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mi…
- makes the MM feel like a toy, but I do like the touch commands on the MM... oh wellmonospaced
- heavy weight helps with precision movement, really helpful in design workmonospaced
- yeah im kind of the opposite.. i always found the heavier mice were harder to design with as you needed more inertia to move themautoflavour
- move them.. kind of why i like the MS mouse.. they are light as a feather
autoflavour - the weight keeps it stable so it doesn't move with a breath... but the Logitech is SLICK so it doesn't require "inertia" like you'd thinkmonospaced
- like you might imagine.monospaced

- yeah the zooming thing was also a deal breaker.. it was just useless. also wasnt any good with C4Dautoflavour
- i think you can turn off the zoom in certain applications using the preferences? not sure thoughlambsy

the lack of 360 degree scrolling is a deal breaker for me in all other mice. I wish the quick jumps and zooms could be ironed out on the magic mouse... because i love the weight / shape.

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?

Apple mice and keyboards (non-laptop) are all shit. Ironically, I've found Microsoft to have the best mouse. I'm using a keyboard I bought at radio shack. Once you get used to using the windows button as the command button, you're fine.
