Apple's New Multi-touch Magic Mouse


Apple has debuted new wireless Magic Mouse with the much deserved update - multi-touch technology for navigation. Featuring solid acrylic surface, the new Magic Mouse replaces Mighty Mouse with a trackball. Magic Mouse would be available for Rs. 3,890 in India by the end of this month.Apple's love with multi-touch is fairly known and needs no special mention yet again. Apple's multi-touch technology is already featured in iPhone, iPod Touch and Trackpads of the MacBooks. The new wireless Magic Mouse that has no buttons, no trackballs is ambidextrous - usable with both hands. Apple has also renamed Mighty Mouse to Apple Mouse in order to avoid any confusion with the newly introduced device.Magic Mouse carries a "seamless" multi-touch surface that covers its top area and is touted world's first multi-touch mouse. No need to worry about cords since Magic Mouse connects to any Bluetooth enabled Mac machine wirelessly. Acting as an advanced point-and-click mouse, users can click as well as double click by tapping finger once or twice on the top surface. Also, enabling Secondary Click in System Preferences will make it function as two-button mouse.Multi-touch obsession takes the next step with Magic Mouse that supports finger gestures to navigate on the display. For instance, scrolling in any direction requires simply using one finger on the mouse's top surface. Magic mouse also supports "360 degree scrolling" - smooth up/down and left/right scrolling within a window, just like in iPhone and MacBook's trackpads. Apple boasts of a chip that senses finger gestures and responds accordingly.
