One of the original four mice exhibited the battery problem Zach mention in his point number 5. We don’t throw tantrums and bang our mice on the work surface. We are a productive but sedate group of educators. It’s been consistent through versions 10, 11 and now 12. We also have some difficulty with the random motion in FileMaker.

We plan to upgrade to CS6 soon and I don’t expect the issue to clear up. We have our worst problems with the rambling mouse action in InDesign - versions CS4 and CS5.

Two of my co-workers have abandoned their mice for other alternatives, but as a Mac user since 1985, I’m determined to get the full, 100% Apple experience. Regarding Zach’s number 3 reason, my three colleagues and I have experienced erratic movement of our Magic Mice ever since we got them. To summarize my point further: If it doesn’t work for your purposes, use something else, don’t call it worthless.
#Magicprefs el capitan portable#
It really seems like everyone’s complaints about Apple products are based upon what they do with a computer (we have a mutual friend who believes all Apple products are evil, simply because he cannot play games using a Mac, and the adapters on their portable devices aren’t mini-USB). If the device doesn’t function for your most frequent activities, use something else, but don’t dismiss the item entirely, or claim that it’s worthless and a bad idea in its very essence. Now, I do not own a “Magic Mouse,” and I haven’t used one for an extended period of time.īut my point: your complaints about the device seem to all be based upon what you use it for, not what it was designed for. In other words: You’re probably accidentally making a motion you don’t realize, and it does exactly what you accidentally commanded it to do. It sounds like you need to practice more, and tweak your adjustments more. I have no response to this, as I have not used one for a long enough period of time to know.Ħ. But I have never used it for gaming, and, to be perfectly frank, the device was not designed for gaming.ĥ. I’ve used a magic mouse for design work, and it functions brilliantly, and precisely. I’ve seen trackpads and mouses that have been treated like garbage, and the sensors wear excessively quickly, and start miss-scrolling.Ĥ. What it sounds like you’re describing in #3 is abused mouse. The two-finger gestures work just as well as the “Magic Trackpad,” which is what I use most frequently – in fact, I haven’t used a mouse of any sort (in my private/home context) in years.ģ. The scroll speed is adjustable, and, on those I have used, I’ve found the adjustment very simple.Ģ. Do you wan to know what happens when you’re working on a long forum post for your Psychology of Exceptional Learners class and you touch the mouse? Just TOUCH it? The whole post is gone. I can get twice the battery life out of my wireless Arc Mouse.Ħ. The batteries run down every three weeks or so. Your character will look in every direction except the one you want them to look in. When you’re playing Guild Wars, forget about being able to use the mouse for movement unless you have a backup mouse, like I do. Forget about precision control of the cursor. No permanent damage, but let it happen three or four times in a row and you tell me if the Magic Mouse is a good idea.Ĥ. I work in spreadsheets a lot, and I can say from experience that the wrong move will send the sheet thousands of cells away from your data. Consider working in a spreadsheet, where the cells are practically unlimited in either direction. Speaking of scrolling, it scrolls when you don’t want it to. Or at least, they don’t work when you want them to, and they work when you don’t want them to.ģ. the two-finger gestures don’t work very well. I know it’s variable through the system configuration, but with so many complaints, the scrolling speed is just more fuel for the fire.Ģ. So, here’s a list of the reasons why I hate the Magic Mouse and would like to have a time machine specifically so I can go back and beg Apple not to do it:ġ. The user is able to go back and forward without moving the mouse by using two fingers to swipe left and right on the mouse, and scroll by swiping one finger up or down, according to the direction in which they would like the page to scroll. The Magic Mouse is a combination of a touchpad and mouse such that instead of having buttons and a scroll wheel, the mouse can intuit which finger is pressing down on the clicker (yes, there’s still one microswitch in that infernal contraption) based on it’s position on the mouse.
In case you weren’t aware of it, Apple came out with the “Magic Mouse” a couple years ago.
