Apple unveils Magic Mouse

Vendor releases world’s first multi-touch gesture mouse

Apple has released its new Magic Mouse, which follows the vendors tradition of providing multi-touch support.

The new mouse was developed after Apple lost its rights over the Mighty Mouse trademark following a lengthy court battle.

Although it continues to use the signature one-button interface, the new device features Bluetooth connectivity, multi-touch support and laser tracking, and will come as standard with every new iMac.

See the video below for a demonstration of the Magic Mouse’s multi-touch features.

Apple and their single-button mouse eh? I guess that makes it about as magic as Stephen Mulhern and as bland too.

This was announced on the 20th along with all the other product updates.

@Magnus
Apple mice haven't been single button for a some time. How do you think people use it with Bootcamp!

Pull the other one mate!

There might be some Mac compatible mice with two buttons, but Apples own mighty mouse was characterised by a single button and a terrible scroller ball.

Ans if youre using bootcamp - why not just use Windows???

I suggest you give one a try, the mighty mouse may look like it's a single button but it responds to both left and right click. By default it's set to single button in OSX in the options.

Love it when people don't check the facts before trying to take the moral high ground.

I think you'll also find, if you use bootcamp you probably are using windows
