On Tuesday, Apple quietly announced its product update. Along with the debut of a refreshed iMac lineup, faster Mac mini and updated Macbook with LED-backlit display, multi-touch trackpad and improved battery life, Apple also revamps its mighty mouse and brings us the world’s first multi-touch mouse named Magic Mouse.
As an iPhone owner, you should be very familiar with the multi-touch technology that lets you control everything on iPhone by using only your fingers. The new wireless Magic mouse comes with no wheel, no scroll button or scroll ball. The mouse surface is now a one-piece touchpad with multi-touch sensor.
You can use it as an ordinary mouse. To left-click, you can click on the top-left corner of the surface. To activate the context menu, you can click the top-right corner to initiate the right-click. But the great thing is Apple brings iPhone-like touch features to the Magic mouse:
- Simply swipe your finger up, down to scroll through pages.
- Use one finger to brush along the Multi-Touch surface to scroll in any direction and to pan a full 360 degrees.
- You can also swipe left and right with two fingers along the surface to navigate through web pages in Safari or view photos in iPhoto.
- Further, you can hold down the Control key on your keyboard and scroll with finger to enlarge items on your screen.
Cool, right? When you think every mouse is the same, that it’s just a cheap plastic with two buttons and a scroll wheel. Apple blows everyone away and turns a mouse into a sleek, sexy and revolutionary device. When’s the last time you see a mouse is covered widely around the blogsphere and tech headlines?
The Magic mouse will come with the new iMac. But you can also purchase it separately at US$69.
