Anyone try one of these yet? I wonder how it compares to the Magic Mouse that Apple makes. I like the concept of the Magic Mouse, but it is too thin to grip. This one looks better in that department...

The more money I spend on the mouse, the more buttons it's suppose to have. tongue

Haven't tried it yet. I kinda think it's neat, but just not sure I want to spend $80 on that experiment.

I'm attracted to the three finger OS X-like Expose feature, but I imagine it will eventually be available for all mice.

I just bought a mac-mini recently. The multi-touch feature of their trackpad is really nice for a media pc / surfing the web type of environment. Couldn't use it for normal usage though.

My new Dell laptop has a multi-touch touchpad. No idea how it compares to Apple's. I'm not crazy about it though, it seems to have too much lag between my multi-finger actions and it recognizing them. Two finger scrolling feels like almost a second delay, so by the time it starts scrolling, my fingers are already at the bottom of the touch pad and it only scrolls a tiny bit.

I just wish MS would start production of the Trackball Explorer again, best trackball ever made. New old stock and refurbished models sell for insane amount.

It's amazing how intuitive the trackpad on my 2011 macbook pro is, I wish that when I had to work on users laptops that I stopped trying to 2 finger right click on the Dell trackpads plain

Two finger right click is freaking awesome! I do it all the time on my Alienware... to no avail. The Macbook trackpad is a great piece of engineering imho.
