Apple Multi-Touch mouse for just $69

The new mouse from Apple today unveiled alongside the announcement of a new MacBook and new ranges iMac and Mac Mini. Successor of the controversial Mighty Mouse, it n'embarque no moving parts: the interactions are the tip of the finger or fingers, through a touch screen.

Seamless Multi-Touch Surface

 Magic Mouse — with its low-profile design and seamless top shell — is so sleek and dramatically different, it brings a whole new feel to the way you get around on your Mac. You can’t help but marvel at its smooth, buttonless appearance. Then you touch it and instantly appreciate how good it feels in your hand. But it’s when you start using Magic Mouse that everything comes together.

The Multi-Touch area covers the top surface of Magic Mouse, and the mouse itself is the button. Scroll in any direction with one finger, swipe through web pages and photos with two, and click and double-click anywhere. Inside Magic Mouse is a chip that tells it exactly what you want to do. Which means Magic Mouse won’t confuse a scroll with a swipe. It even knows when you’re just resting your hand on it.

 Laser-Tracking Engine

 Magic Mouse uses powerful laser tracking that’s far more sensitive and responsive on more surfaces than traditional optical tracking. That means it tracks with precision on nearly every surface — whether it’s a table at your favorite cafe or the desk in your home office — without the need for a mousepad.

Wireless

Magic Mouse connects wirelessly to your Mac via Bluetooth, so there’s no wire or separate adapter to worry about. Pair Magic Mouse with your Bluetooth-enabled Mac and enjoy a reliable and secure connection up to 33 feet away. When you combine Magic Mouse with the Apple Wireless Keyboard, you create a workspace free of annoying cables. And because Magic Mouse is wireless, it can venture beyond the confines of your desk. A quick flick of the on/off switch helps conserve battery power while Magic Mouse is tucked in your bag. Even when it’s on, Magic Mouse manages power efficiently, by detecting periods of inactivity automatically.

Finally, the Magic Mouse is developing multitouch functionality. With two fingers, so we can scroll through tabs in Safari or albums from iTunes. Via System Preferences in Mac OS X, you can disable some of these options, set the sensitivity of certain actions and move the mouse mode "lefty" because its symmetrical shapes make them an ambidextrous design.

Remains to be seen in practice how accustomed the mechanical mouse buttons studded live with the transition to touch. Delivered by default with the previous iMac, the Magic Mouse is also sold only at a price of 69 euros in France ($ 69 overseas). It will work with any Bluetooth-enabled Macintosh computer.
