Props for this video. I've heard a few people complaining about the ergonomics of it, and generally they don't understand that it is a different input device that is held differently.
Finally, someone explaining how to hold and use it. Thanks. I started using one today, and it was driving me insane! Even more so, coming from an MX Master 3...
If it’s uncomfortable they’re likely not using it right. I always found it shockingly comfortable and I have large hands/long arms. The hate on the charging port is sad too (charge it once a month or plug it in, take a 2 min break and it’s ready for 9 more hours before you fully charge). As you said, key is resting your palm on the desk and essentially use your finger tips to use the mouse. It feels like resting your hand on a table the same way you would if the mouse wasn’t there. I never get any discomfort, the weight and feel is so airy and easy to maneuver. When I use an ergonomic mouse it feels like it’s smothering my whole hand, it’s heavier and not uncomfortable but awkward by comparison.
It seems not, but it is one of the mice with the best ergonomic considerations. And for me, an important aspect is that it does not make a bulge in the backpack, it fits in any pocket. I placed a piece of contact paper on top of it and the scrolling is much smoother to the touch.
im 100% sure thats exactly what apple designers intended designing this thing. its supposed to be easy and feathery, I agree with you and cant understand why people need to desperately clutch to stuff to feel in control (yes - psychological philosphy intended)
I was really sceptic about the MM2 coming from a MX Master 3, it really amazed me how well it works if you know how to hold it. (Yes, it’s the old conundrum “you’re holding it wrong 😉)
Good tutorial overall but inaccurate, it DOES hurt your fingers by keeping them up like that. I have been using the magic mouse for over 2 years now and i am experiencing hand pains on a regular basis and it is because of my fingers being constantly up like that... Be careful people
I really think Apple needs better instructions for this. As you say, it shouldn't be seen as a normal mouse but the problem is 99% of people have only ever used a regular mouse. So it's just not intuitive to switch over to this.
You know what's funny is that for 3d modeling on blender it's actually a great replacement for a 3d mouse because they have Magic Mouse tracking out of the box.@@Reviews4fun1
it's rubbish, kills your hands. my friend had to see a doctor after several weeks of using it and now she's going through some treatments. a mouse isn't suppose to give such discomfort. plus - a waste of money for sure. don't buy
That's exactly where I thought I'd end up but fortunately that didn't happen. I never thought I'd like the Magic Mouse as much as my little Microsoft mouse but I do. It does take some time.
@@tdcattech Magic mouse has actually a more natural hand position than other mice. It's like you're resting your hand on the table while other mice force you to put your hand in some weird position that is not natural and that can harm your carpal tunnel.
I use the right click feature on my stock apple mouse all the time. I've tried right clicking with this mouse, and it simply does nothing. Evidently this mouse is not made for more complex operations like opening a choice menu for step operations. This tutorial says nothing about more complex mouse operations.
The cursor is slow, that's the whole purpose of a mouse. If its not broken, don't fix it. To me, this is apple trying to be different for the sake of being different and failing MISERABLY. It is absolute rubbish 🗑
The jury is out on that one from my side. I am still getting used to it after years of using a ‘regular’ mouse and I can still work faster on a PC. However, there are already aspects I miss when moving back to PC from Mac.
The "don't rest your wrist in the mouse, rest it on the desk" is the best advice on how to use it.

It's great from the subtle movements. It's a slower and quicker input device.. seems to make no sense but you'll probably get what I mean.
This was REALLY helpful. I was about to give up on it. Thanks.
Thank you for this! I've been trying to decide if I want one or not and this video definitely helped!

I just got one and I'm loving it!
Just video I was looking for.
Cheers from San Diego
Thank you for the info. Two weeks starting now.

Better touch tools is something that really maximizes the magic mouse. :D

exactly
this design is horrible
yeah realistically you should get another mouse, it's more of a touchpad combo. I think it's why the feet aren't as versatile as maybe they should be.
5 minutes explaining how to hold your mouse but nothing about using it!

Looks like a good fingertip mouse to me.
Steve Jobs believed that touch screens wanted to be held horizontally and not vertically, it makes sense through that perspective.
I've tried to us mine for graphic design but i have failed. Went back to my default laptop touchpad
The left click button is so hard, and hurt the figure after a full day work XD
If only it could tap to click, I am used to the settings for tap with one figner on touch-pad.
the apple mouse is extremely uncomfortable. am going back to my razer mouse
Razer is my work mouse and it’s awesome

check your settings. the right click was turned off by default when i first started using mine. you just have to turn it on
It wasn’t for me. Took it back!
it is mousses.. not mice lol
Interchangeable so take you’re pick 👍🏻

It's a brilliant mouse, both my MacBook PRO machines have them. Beats a normal mouse hands down.

No hand up. That sounds like RSI waiting to happen.
Wrists should never be on a surface while typing or mousing. Will cause major strain.
Derp!
