hey guys jon rettinger here with some initial impressions an overview for you of Apple's new multi touch magic mouse there's no magic going on here just a single multi-touch surface with a soul click button frame gone is from last generation are the two side pressure buttons on the side of the outgoing Mighty Mouse and everybody's favorite little nipple ball that you could push in and this thing you've ever used it probably worked for a few weeks and then got clogged with dirt and became almost unusable so it's been a welcome change to apple mouse fans that finally there's something new but with the new also comes the bed and magic mouse definitely has some bad with it before we get to that let's talk about some of the positives it's got a novelty factor to it scrolling up and down the web pages with your finger like this is a kind of fun i'm enjoying using the mouse pointing is very accurate the single click is very accurate you can right-click just like you can any other mouse just use your right finger it set that up in the preferences but it works and it works quite well I'm actually finding myself more and more using the two fingers swiping to go to and from web pages instead of having a mouse up to the arrow and hit it it's a very nice feature infos you that use a macbook or macbook pro if a glass trackpad probably sort of a bug Valley that you were familiar with those of us that have been using physical mice on an imac or something else it's a new change so down to some of the negatives and things that I don't like about the device well gone like I said before are the two pressure sensor buttons on the outside of the mouse i sees that all the time for activating expose and of course i can no longer do that also on that little nipple off if you push that and that was also a button and i would use that to hide the desktop and fortunately that's gone as well so i went to apple and ask them what they're telling people to do how are you going to get around loss of two functionalities on mls with really no service and their response was use hot corners and I've never used hot corners before but essentially what that means is you swipe your mouse up to one of the quarters your mom and it activates something so now I've got mine set every time I swipe it up to the upper right it activates expose my spy for down to the bottom right it shows desktop it's not nearly as elegant and it's easy as it was on the Mighty Mouse I definitely miss having those buttons but I think that I'm going to get used to it have you only had this for just a little over a day and I'll think it's fair to make a judgment call on it quite yet but after you guys to have the information so seeing as this is shipping with all new imacs and new imacs you support boot camp I'm going to go out on the limb and say that the drivers to support the magic mouse actually are included on your install cds that came with your computer so i believe this will work with windows but only if you have the proper drivers it's a question I've been getting quite a bit I would have go out and buy it just for Windows but if you're using bootcamp on your Mac certainly want to use your original mouse you know go ahead you may have limited functionality but at least use it as a point device it's a little bit low profile compared to the magic mouse if you look so there's a big difference there so it means me have your wrist on it you have to sort of lift your wrist up to do your clicking and I'm not sure that's gonna become a comfortable or not this time will tell but something to keep in mind i'm not so sure how organ our kiss is because it's so low pro but i am enjoying it I'm liking using it has a little bit of a novelty on it that hasn't worked out yet so i'll keep you guys posted let you know what i think when i do a full review in a few days are you guys going to jump out and get the magic mouse is it worth it for you are you excited to get it with your new imac or you just want to go out and pick one up sixty nine bucks it's really going to come down to you know what you like something there are many more mics out there for the same credits that do much more but there aren't that many that have sort of the apple style and that cool multi-touch trackpad on the top which actually works from top all the way down to the bottom anyway guys this is jon rettinger for exclusive content sure to check me out on twitter twitter.com / John for lakers and to learn more about technobuffalo checkouts technobuffalo com I'll see you guys in the next video goodbye
