hey guys jon rettinger here's an unboxing for you of the new multi touch magic mouse from Apple this release coincided with the updated imac that came out a little while ago if you're planning on purchasing a new iMac no need to buy a magic mouse because it's going to come with it so this replaces the old mighty mouse which is now just being called the apple mouse due to copyright reasons you can still get the wired version of this which is going to run you 49 bucks so but enough of the old let's check out the new you've got the device sort of sealed in this hard plastic shell a typical apple minimalist packaging just device is presented nicely it's going to run you 69 bucks if you want to buy it on the back it sort of tells you some of the multi-touch features escapable of so obviously your left click your right click you can scroll all around you can do screen zoom by hitting control and zooming in and you can do to finger swipes and maybe you're familiar with in Safari if you have one of the glass multi-touch trackpad laptops think of this is sort of bringing the functionality of glass trackpad to your mouth the exception of a pinch and zoom this does not do that let's go ahead and open it up and stay tuned to the channel for demonstrations really of how this works and a full review as well let's see how this opens up looks like there's some tape on top go ahead and pull it off these packages look a little harder to open than I expected them to be but not too bad pull that back and focus there yeah alright so we got the tape off the top think there's a piece on the back as well but maybe we don't need to pull that off there we go slides right out and there is the magic mouse if you haven't gone to the apple store and play with one of the it's got a very nice feel to it a little bit low profile so I'm not so sure how organ ama kits going to be but I guess time will tell if there's another piece of tape in the back take it off of this shell it's mounted on and of course this is a bluetooth documentation on the mouse and some little bit more information about it a lot much of this has batteries in it let's check it out and see if it does it does comes with two energizer double-a batteries so that was nice a to put it in the device instead of having to have you put them in it yourself makes a little bit easier for some people I suppose go ahead and put the back on this and let's take a look at the magic mouse itself so the back as you can probably tell is all aluminum with to sort of plastic bumpers is your on/off switch that you're familiar with on the old mice slide that up it doesn't appear that there any buttons but this whole part actually clicks you can see and hear that you're navigating you are actually clicking something so you're left click you're right click you can scroll down on a web page or a word document or ever you're looking at with one finger or two and like I said you can zoom in if you'd like on you can pan from one page to the next by going to finger swiping unfortunately gone our side buttons for launching expose or ever else you like to set it to i use expose all the time so I'm a little bit annoyed that that's gone but I'm going to give it a shot what you can do if you're used to expose is you can set a hot corner on your monitor so you flick your mouse up to the upper right corner or bottom left and it can activate whatever you like also gone is this little trackball a lot of people didn't like me included get dirty and really becomes almost unusable however that trackball is also a third button that you could push and that's also gone so you're losing sort of two functionalities that you had with the outgoing Mighty Mouse although apple claims you can rectify that again just by setting hot corners so guys stay tuned to the channel for more mighty mouse or magic mouse coverage for exclusive content checking out on twitter twitter.com / John poor lakers and to learn more about technobuffalo checkouts TechnoBuffalo comm links all that will be in the sidebar see guys in next video goodbye
