I still have one of these gems if anybody is interested.  All you have to do is pay shipping.   Apparently, people actually pay for these on Ebay.

Awww yea! I have mine.  ;)

Ugh. That's a horrible mouse! Those damn things are so hard to use, especially when the ball in them is missing.

Ctrl-click which, funnily enough, works on a modern Mac with a three button mouse.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

The very BEST PowerPC macs ever made were the 8600/300 (stole the 300Mhz card from a 9600 Pro)  :thumb: .

I still have a grand total of 512mb of edo ram sitting in there, working downstairs in the basement as my Hotline server (still).

Glad to hear you still have one running. I've got an old 66Mhz Power Mac hanging around as well...maybe I should resurrect it some day.

How is the tracking?  Any Acceleration? Did you have the sensitivity set properly in the OS?

The tracking was terrible. And the only acceleration that this Apple mouse had was when I dropped it in the garbage can. At that time, it accelerated at 32 feet per second, minus air resistance.

This mouse is from the same year as Windows 1.0, so I’m assuming you’re recommending we switch to one of these, right?

Or possibly this one instead?

I am glad that Mr. Microsoft Windows has resurrected some of his old posts, recently; otherwise, I had not had the chance to read this extraordinary technical review on the Apple's mouse, and by extension, of Apple's Engineering abilities, that in Job's words, "sucks".

It sucks! When's Apple going to hire somebody with a brain to design their input devices?

Apparently they haven't done this yet because this thing exists...



So if you ever have buyer's remorse about a keyboard, just visit this thread and realize that THOUSANDS have spent $69 on Apple's Magic Mouse, aka the worst mouse Apple has ever released. The gestures are cool for the 5 seconds you can use them until your wrists start to swell up from the horrible ergonomics of this contraption.

We have to use those at school, or the ones with no right click and scroll wheel at all. Trust me, the new "magic" mouse is really magic. It should be impossible to create a mouse as bad as that one.

'But it looks so elegant' the mac fans say...

That's what happens when you let touchy-feely designers near computer parts.  Idiots.  I miss it when computers didn't look like they had wind tunnel testing.

Looks like something that belongs on a wall--maybe as an art piece that you just stare at.  Lovely mouse--there's a great review of that on here, lol.

I think we can all agree that the apple magic mouse is ****. I'm curious however about the magic trackpad. Once upon a time I had to use a macbook for work, and I actually found the touchpad to be much better than on any windows laptop I've tried. So I'm wondering if the desktop equivalent of that, the magic trackpad, is actually any good. President Windows, sir, can I kindly request that you review this device? I'd like to hear your opinion on it. Thanks!

I'll save you the trouble.  I got RSI in 15m using it at the apple store.  This was v1, but I think the most recent version isn't too much better.  Just a horrible idea that looks pretty.

I'm going to have to lower my review of this Apple mouse to a one star, as I tripped over it today and twisted my ankle.

Isn't that user error though?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

NO IT'S NOT. IF CRAPPLE® DIDN'T MAKE THE MOUSE SUCH A PIECE OF GARBAGE, THEN IT WOULD BE IN USE ON MY DESK INSTEAD OF THROWN ON THE FLOOR WHERE USERS CAN TRIP ON IT. THIS DESIGN ASPECTS MAKES CRAPPLE® MICE A SAFETY HAZARD.

WITH THAT IN MIND, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DISPOSE OF ALL CRAPPLE® MICE IN YOUR POSSESSION IMMEDIATELY!
