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.

I bought a Moshi mouse mat, handy because it also doubles up as a screen protector for the macbook pro. Definitely made the mouse more precise.

Using one at my new job and I like it, but does anyone else's hand get numb on the outer edge of your hand (beneath pinky finger, on the edge of your palm) from the abrupt, unrounded edge of the mouse?

I love Magic Mouse. Since I started using the Mighty Mouse so many years ago my carpel tunnel has completely vanished. Couldn't work without the multi touch gestures now.
It eats through batteries though. Would probably prefer a wired one.

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!

yeah it's shit. I use a $2 dell mouse from the office dump and it's wonderful

check out better touch tool: http://www.boastr.net/
you can set application specific settings and gestures. Plus some great window snapping tools.
As for the adobe problems with scrolling, for me scrolling is just more sensitive than I expect, and delayed a bit. So slow it down and enjoy the superior mouse.

the flaw of the mighty mouse is that it has moving parts (the ball, which always gets fucked)
hate using anything other than a magic mouse
