Apple's New Mouse

I have a mate with one who swears by it.

First thing you do when you get a new Mac is throw out the mouse and buy a Logitech. I thought that was understood.

That said, the new multi-touch trackpads on the laptops are sweet.

-edit-

And yes, CR, the hockey puck mouse was an all-time low for Apple, and it's not as if they're known for making great keyboards or mice.

Now we understand one another...

Really, Apple mice and keyboards are utterly horrible. Ergonomics aside they are also really “nothing to gain from”. By which I mean: you get better value from a $10 wireless keyboard+mouse set that gets thrown in on every desktop of the likes of HP you can buy.

I've always found apple's styling to be hideous, and their user devices ridiculously un-ergonomical. Which takes more effort? A slight downward momentary pressure with the finger, or lifting it up a cm or two, then bringing it back down to make solid contact so the damn thing registers? Try it.

Someone please tell me when Apple re-invent the wheel, perhaps using carbon nanotubes in a remarkable and fiendishly expensive way -which is "futuristic" though and goes really well with my roll-neck sweater. Thanks!

Maybe we're missing the point? The thing only works AFTER you've had a $200 manicure like the hand-model shown. Joe Six-pack PC users, with the panache of a gear-grinding long-haul trucker, would maul such a delicate instrument.

I bet chicks dig it.
