Gaming Mouse vs Apple Magic Mouse - Who Wins?

2017-05-10
don't judge hello everyone I'm Dimitri now recognize that's Eva right there and this is Apple Magic Mouse to a product that seems to compound your Apple computer with its sleek design the glass in the aluminum body definitely an exciting products to unbox and look at and the price is actually not too shabby but I want to know what the experience is like using an on tap a mouse on my macbook so at $99 this might be the perfect alternative to the Apple Magic Mouse which cost $79 so there's a $20 difference here but the t43 is also Wireless it has a much better sensor much better economics so let's see if buying a gaming mouse for your Mac is worth it right after this cool master master keys keyboard lineup is now available and three sizes to fit within your space with large medium and small boards with either beautiful RGB or pure white LED illumination a little something for everyone make it yours with the master keys pro by Cooler Master Eva come over here come on field is too much let me know which one you like better thoughts for your thoughts I don't like it give it look this is what elements thanks Eber for your input but in all seriousness I was very skeptical about the shape when I first picked this up and still am it's not exactly comfortable especially when compared to something like the g4 3 however I mean look at this thing it's so beautiful the aluminum the glass the top everything just screams a quality product for Apple that would complement your other Apple products and that's a good thing cohesion of build quality and design language is very important for the Apple standard so let's begin with connectivity Apple Magic Mouse 2 is fully wireless there are no USB dongles required and recognition is almost instantaneous with this visual pop up on the screen you know it just works and for battery life it will last you for like a full month on a single charge and say what you will about the charging port at the bottom you know it does look ridiculous but the recharge is fast enough to never have to worry about battery life the g4 3 on the other hand does require a USB dongle so that will occupy USB port on your computer if you have it but at least it is low profile and modest tech has actually pretty good Mac OS drivers that work well you just have aside to use generic functions to the side buttons for Mac OS to recognize them charging requires a microUSB cable and it doesn't last anywhere as long as the Magic Mouse recharging takes longer and you will need to do it more frequently and economically these two could not be any more different you know a flat piece that like really doesn't have any shape for your hand it's nice smooth edges on the glass so there's a bit of a transition here actually reminds me a little bit of like the Razer Diamondback and which I don't really like the shape but the g43 super comfortable very nice curves and just really ergonomic to support your right hand but also you know the Magic Mouse is symmetrical so it is good for left and right hand use but the low profile nature of this Magic Mouse means it's really strange to hold it's one of the most unnatural mice that are used and you know it only feels ok now after a few weeks of adjustment period and the g4 3 in contrast is one of the best mice for your right hand like I said ergonomic curves good height and switching between the two you can easily ditch the Magic Mouse because the form is beautiful but unfortunately it is awkward to hold the left and right clicks are fine on both I prefer the own the separate buttons on the g4 3 but the Magic Mouse has slightly harder presses with natural spacing between the uniform surface so it's quite unique because you know you don't have physical buttons here but they interact very well and just yeah I'm happy what they've done here to preserve this uniform smooth surface without sacrificing on the usability of the buttons you can't mess them up both of these mice have easily identifiable on-off switches at the bottom with long glide feet on the Magic Mouse that are comfortable and are pretty good on plenty of surfaces and since this sensor here is laser it is good for reflective surfaces as well unlike the optical sensor on the g4 3 that is fantastic in accuracy and is actually one of the best sensors on the market right now but it requires an actual mat so for example in this white surface it will not track but you need a hard surface mat so there's something to take into account because the Magic Mouse tracks on this surface perfectly fine but not the g4 3 but what surprised me the most with the g4 or three is just how much more responsive Center felt on the screen and I'm not sure exactly if it's like the Hertz refresh rate or because it's optical so there's no acceleration but it's salt really true one-to-one tracking on the screen versus the Magic Mouse because there is acceleration yes I did game on the Magic Mouse too on my MacBook Pro and it played CF six years ago I feel like you know betraying the csgo community and the PC master-race but it's almost like mixing orange juice with milk it's very unnatural but when we bring in the chief or three into the equation it's still a little bit awkward right because of this machine but my aim felt a lot more responsive I could aim better and it was almost like mixing orange juice with cranberry juice it's not exactly perfect but it is much better than the milky stuff over here however one of the main advantages when it comes to the Apple Mouse are gesture controls on the glass surface because it's super smooth it's very responsive that allows you to you know smooth scroll the pages or you can swipe left to right that is particularly useful for scrolling my timeline for video editing and also the lack of a scroll wheel I did not actually find that an issue you know I'm very used to using the scroll wheel on any gaming mice or PC mouse to scroll inside the premiere timeline but on here it's very responsive still the touch gestures work very well and so after using it for a couple of weeks you know I've been kind of running with this type of setup and trying to explore where I love the Magic Mouse where I love the g43 and you know a mouse on your MacBook Pro is just a complementary tool because 80% in time I'm using the trackpad which is fantastic so when only it comes out to editing I would pull this out and you know if I need to drag and drop things it's much better to use a mouse because you have a little bit more area and the g43 actually falls on the same footsteps but with a much more responsive sensor and better ergonomics so definitely the g4 3 for a stationary machine if you're utilizing an Apple computer but I would have to pick at the Apple Magic Mouse to for travel purposes because it's super thin so it's really complements the whole portability aspect and just touch controls work really well and so then it is a little bit of a compromise although I still think the shape on the Magic Mouse is ridiculous for constant use you we have to learn how to use it and not use it constantly because the ergonomic sound like when you put these two fingers you know there's no way to for the fingers on so the Logitech mouse is a solid option especially because the drivers support for Mac OS is excellent and so that's it for my experience using these two mice on my macbook I'm using the g4 3 as my stationary because I love the shape and like you can really go fast with edits and stuff but I do travel with this guy because of that convenience factor don't judge oh hey there NC XCOM is Canada's leading etrailer for anything your mind desires just keep within those categories which are plenty and attempted by the weekly
