Hairy mouse

If it’s good enough for The Pattaya Ghost, it’s good enough for me. No, not half the female population of Pattaya, but an Apple Magic Mouse. Having previously poured scorn on the idea of ever owning another crappy Apple mouse, I played with the new offering in a shop and rather liked it. The Ghost then confirmed it was good, so I added one onto the end of my order for my LCD monitor.

And I do like it. I glides nicely over any surface I choose (especially cats) and has a pleasant heft to it thanks to the metal body. The buttons have a solid click to them and the “scroll anywhere” feature is brilliant. Like The Ghost, I wish there was more I could do with my fingers (stay on topic folks), but expect there will be updates to facilitate that. Nice one Apple, the Logitech is in the drawer.

Of course, I had to photograph it. These are my initial efforts:

Even though I wiped it before snapping it, close inspection reveals assorted marks, biscuit crumbs and vast quantities of cat hair. Proper product photography needs a sterile environment, or at least an absence of cats.

Does it float?

Looks like Apple could transform the “marital toy” business …

I wonder whether Wenthworth’s question and Billy’s observation are related…?
