Having worked with macs for well over 10 years you cannot imagine the joy I felt when Apple released the "Mighty Mouse" and I got my hands on one back in 2006, a nicely designed, usable mouse that had enough functionality to control major tasks just with the buttons on the side of the mouse + it had a scroll ball!

My enjoyment for the product quickly faded as I realised the side buttons became a hindrance more than helpful and the scroll ball was about as reliable as a tabloid horoscope, so far I have broken three or rather, I have had three of these that have broken just through light use.

Now Apple have brought out their "Magic Mouse", a fantastic little piece of kit that is intuitive and dynamic with its Multi-Touch technology. The major factor for me is that its design is more streamlined than the previous giving a more natural feel and less strain on your wrist as well as the removal of the scroll ball. Every action is done by a click or a gesture, to scroll or swipe you simply gesture over the mouse as you would with the Macbook or iPhone.

Mine is currently in the post but I cant wait to see how long it takes me to break this one!
