There are a lot more gestures available to customize as well, I'm irritated Apple doesn't allow you that level of customization out of the box. I have mine set up to move from tab to tab on two-finger swipes to the left and right, refresh the page with a three-fingered swipe up, close the tab with a three-finger swipe down, and two fingers up and down will activate expose and spaces respectively. In the office I prefer a mouse for precision, but I also want multi-touch gestures, and with Better Touch Tool I can pretty much customize my Magic Mouse any way I want to, which actually lends more credence to the hyperbole "Magic." I use the trackpad on my Macbook because it's more convenient than using a mouse when I'm on the go. I actually think combining the Magic Mouse with Better Touch Tool ( ) is a better solution.
At worst it'll be a companion to my trackball, at best, it'll replace it (still also having a mouse connected for the eventual UT match though) With this in mind, this new Apple device really interests me and I can't wait to get my hands on one. This is how I went from "I hate trackpads" to "trackpads are the only really natural way to control the machine". Seing how quickly this became muscle memory, I assume that they did something (no idea what) right when they moved to that design. With the newer Macbook pros came this "the trackpad is the button" functionality and while it took me a day or so of getting used to, I absolutely cannot work with the dedicated button pads any more. The bigger size meant less finger movement and with the advent of multi touch, it suddenly felt like a more "natural" way to control the machine. I'm even going as far as to say that I'm quite the trackpad hater - they never felt precise to me and required way too frantic finger movement to be really comfortable for me.īut when I moved to Apple hardware, I basically was stuck with the trackpads, but this time around, it was different. Back in the days, I always preferred the Trackpoints the IBM ThinkPads used and I never quite liked the trackpads.
