Here’s the failure.

All over the internet I’m seeing “Magic Mouse is Apple’s best mouse ever!”

Hey guess what!!!

That’s not saying much.

The Magic Mouse just feels terrible in your hand.  As far as complaints go, the small size of the mouse pales in comparison to the terrible ergonomic comfort.  And the multitouch portion of the Magic Mouse just isn’t that compelling.  Logitech did this same touch to scroll thing years ago with their v500 mouse, which actually felt nice, and had the same capabilities (minus the two finger slide, but that’s uncomfortable anyway).  The Apple scrolling feels nice, but it’s nothing ground breaking.  Don’t even get me started on the click feel…

Of course countless Apple fanboys will buy this mouse because Apple made it and it looks great on their Apple laden, wire-free desk.  I will not be blinded by my Apple devotion!  Neither will these guys:

Magic Mouse sucks!

Is the Magic Mouse a dog?

hands on: the magic mouse sucks

Review: I want to love the Magic Mouse, but I can’t

For a company like Apple, with all their amazing design genius, it just seems odd that they have a peripheral that feels like crap. If I were Jobs I’d be pissed.

The folks over at Electronista have gotten one of the first Core i5 iMacs.  Lucky bastards.  Out of jealousy I stole a picture.  It’s being blown up to true to life size and being placed above my desk.  *sigh*

Check out their quick review, and be sure to stay tuned to their site, as they’ll be soon writing another larger review.  They apparently just wanted to let it be known that they were one of the first…  +5 street cred points, -4 keepin’ it real points.

Only like 100% better... no biggie...
