The trackpad is nice for gestures but it’s not good for gaming and I find that I’m slower with it for precision movements than a mouse.īoth the Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse are Bluetooth devices that rely on two AA batteries. While I have no problems using a trackpad on a notebook, at my desk I still use a mouse. Other than that it boils down to personal preference. You lose that advantage with the Magic Trackpad. You could argue that the trackpad is the same distance away from your hands as a traditional mouse, but I believe one of the benefits of a trackpad is its closer-than-a-mouse location. You can position it in front of your keyboard but then it interferes with typing since the trackpad doesn’t lay flat on your desk. On a desk the trackpad is physically a lot further away from your hands. Move your right hand down for tracking and back up for typing. Trackpads work on notebooks because they’re situated directly in front of your keyboard. My biggest issue with the Magic Trackpad is its positioning on my desk. Scrolling is also nice and smooth and the trackpad surface is arguably too big, I don’t use most of it but it’s nice to have. By far the most useful was sliding four fingers up or down on the trackpad to trigger different Exposé modes. The gestures are easier to do and you get more of them. I was a lot happier with the Magic Trackpad than I was with the Magic Mouse. And as its name implies, it’s a giant trackpad. This one doesn’t come with the Mac Pro but it is a $69 option. If you like the idea of going all the way with touch on a desktop there’s also the optional Magic Trackpad. If you use your mouse on a desk without a mousepad it feels like you're scraping the mouse across the desk rather than smoothly gliding it across. They are solid plastic with no soft coating at all. There are two plastic strips that run along the base of the mouse, serving as feet.

The Magic Mouse also lacks the smooth tracking feel that most Microsoft and Logitech mice have. I suppose it's ok for occasional mousing but I simply point too often. The Magic Mouse is extremely low profile and doesn't really contour to my hand at all. Matthew Witheiler, the first AnandTech Senior GPU Editor, swears by his but I couldn't get used to it. But at the end of the day I just couldn't get over the ergonomics of the mouse. It’s just so much more effortless than using a scrollwheel, even the newer low-friction wheels. I found myself getting excited whenever I’d have a window open that I needed to scroll in. The supported gestures include scrolling (both horizontally and vertically) and two finger swipe to flip through photos or web pages. Instead of using a touch sensor to simply determine left from right clicks, you can now gesture on the surface of the mouse. Even the on/off switch underneath is well designed. Stylistically the Magic Mouse is probably the best looking mouse I've ever used. The successor to the Mighty Mouse is named the Magic Mouse. A nifty way of adding a right mouse button without actually capitulating to the demands of the radical two buttoners. By using a touch sensor in the mouse itself you could push on the right side of the mouse to simulate a right click. The Mighty Mouse was Apple's first attempt at a two-button mouse with a modern Mac. The mouse however, I'd never had any real experience with. I'd say there's still tons of room for improvement in the comfort department so I'd like to see Apple go back to the drawing board with its now 3-year old design. I've used the keyboard before, it's actually what I do most of my writing on. The ports are only good for delivering 100mA of power so you'll have to look elsewhere to charge your iPhone/iPod. You get a row of helpful function keys along the top and two USB ports integrated into the keyboard itself. The biggest issue is that it isn't an ergonomic design in the style of the Microsoft Natural keyboards. The angle feels just right, there's good feedback from the keys and even the key travel seems just right. If you're ok with the relatively condensed design, it's great to type on. The Mac Pro ships with two input devices by default: the Apple USB keyboard with numeric keypad, and the Magic Mouse.
