    He built a case that extends it into a more ergonomic design.

    At that point, you can just get a different mouse.

      But the gestures with the magic mouse are so good. It’s one of those things once you start using them it’s hard to go back. The MX Master you can set it up to use gestures but it’s just not as convenient as the magic mouse. I personally use the Magic Tracpad with an ergonomic mouse so I kinda get the best of both. I love the Magic trac pad now it’s really handy in C4d as well surprisingly

      I’m not an Apple shill. But the software inside the magic mouse is what makes it special. I’m unaware of any product that can do the same stuff 1:1 in a better form factor.

      If someone can make it more ergonomic, then that is great. I don’t follow Apple products close enough to know or understand why, but I’m assuming Apple is the one blocking out third party mice utilizing the software that makes the magic mouse multi directional scrolling feel special.

        Yeah but it’s so awful to hold and actually execute those (arguably very good) gestures. I love using macos with the trackpad, the gestures make navigation a breeze, but the magic mouse is awful, the pros just don’t outweigh how non ergonomic it is.

      How often do you guys charge your mouse? I’ve had a mic mouse for like 2 yrs and have never had it die on me while I was using it. Once the alert pops, I plug it in that night, next day it’s charged. Unless ppl are like moving their mouse around the screen for like hrs at a time? I don’t get it? Maybe you ignor the warning that pops up and then it dies?

      Get both, as magic mouse is a dumb trackpad, which is essential for ipados. Its also small and lightweight, fits perfectly on the left side of the keyboard, when on the go.
