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.

common people can we all agree that the mm is a heavy piece of shyte,
you can love it, you can even think it's usefulbut it's still a piece of shyte mouse.
Why? you ask methe mouse is at best suffering from touch Parkinson,
you can surf the web with it and enjoy the ridiculous gestures,
but as soon as you open any creative products (Adobe, discreet, even fuckn ms xcell) the side swipe becomes a pain, the stupid gestures aren't that usefull
and
if you have to turn off some function on your mouse to make it work with your creative suite,
it's time for you to get a real mouse- not arguing with you but what is a "real" mouse. give me an example as i'm about to buy a MM myself...prophetone
- this will work well without
you having to buy batts

If the cursor is shooting around, you might just need to put a piece of paper underneath it. I think the laser diode thing in the bottom works via reference. So, if you are on a remotely shiny surface the mouse doesn't know how to reference the motion.......I think

any body got a replacement for this LazyMouse App, I've always used it in Mac OsX and it doesn't work anymore in Mavericks :(

I've had the same problem in InDesign *without* the Magic Mouse. So maybe it isn't the mouse.

it's perfect for surfing the web, but SUCKS in illustrator.

I love my Magic Mouse, but every now and then in InDesign the scroll goes nuts.
I would love a preference that could shut off mouse scroll within individual apps. I don't need it InDesign. Maybe I should set a shortcut key for shutting off scroll....
- if you hold shift the scroll goes like 50X faster... it's so fucking broken and fuck Adobe for that shitmonospaced
- OMG. Are you saying that this is only happening when I'm holding shift? THANKS!!nb

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.

I have a Toshiba X20 at home and I would buy another til the foreseable future, they were discontinued though so they are more difficult to find. Perfect for games too. Fuckin extra sensitive with a very good weight / feel (sensitivity level buttons directly on the hardware + profiles if you're on Windows, which I'm not so I don't know how that works.
http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-X2…- thanks. on a mac, my primary motivation is to cut the cord and go as lite as possible...prophetone

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.
- its pretty much the only microsoft product i ownautoflavour
- 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
