Review on Apple Magic Mouse 2 Wireless, Space Gray by Micha Dbrowski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews before making a purchase, so I was prepared for any difficulties that might arise. On the other hand, the ease with which I adjusted to using this mouse came as a complete and utter shock to me. Previously, I had been utilizing the Elecom Huge trackball, which is designed to fit comfortably in the palm of my hand. The joy that you seek will not be found in this location. In some applications, the ultra-smooth scrolling with your finger leads to a situation in which you need to press your finger down for literally half a millimeter in order to increase by one step (or reduce). If you don't do this, the increase or decrease goes to extreme values. Despite this, you can scroll with your finger quite smoothly.

Pros
  • Touchpads are ideal for use with Macs. The use of gestures eliminates all of the drawbacks, including jerky scrolling, jumping back and forth with a finger to the left and right, moving between applications that use the full screen, and so on. Both the white and the black look quite nice. Only the bottom portion is visible as a result of the space heating; the upper glass is mostly opaque.
Cons
  • This mouse is not relevant to the study of ergonomics because. Although it was built for the primary purpose of design, I do not notice any big inconvenient side effects from it. Prior to that, I used trackballs that were pretty large and fit under the palm of my hand in conjunction with a vertical mouse for a number of years. Another flaw in my model was discovered to be the presence of curved rails. The rails are slightly raised from the side where the mouse click is positioned, however this is not obvious to the naked eye. Because of this, the back section of the mouse raises ever-so-slightly as you click on it, which is not a really nice experience. It was the Razer Gigantus rug that came to our rescue (but any cloth rug with a little bit of give will do). Take note of the loud click as well. Not the most appropriate attire for the workplace.
