Apple Magic Battle - Magic Trackpad VS Magic Mouse - Which one?
When it comes to the two, I have a mixed feelings about both, I mean for a while I use only the Trackpad & for other while, I use only the Magic Mouse.
Pros of the Magic Trackpad:
- more gestures because of the size
- about 2.5x of the magic mouse
- more touch area
- a bit better battery life
- no laser in the trackpad, works anywhere
- it does not lag
- build quality is superb
- get BetterTouchTool & it's amazing to use
- both for left & right handed
Cons of the Magic Trackpad (at least for me):
- dragging files is a pain, you have to use both hands or two fingers, or 3 fingers
- you have to keep your palm up in the air to avoid unwanted pressure on the trackpad which can cause strain after a while.
- not ergonomic
- I have no other complaints
Pros of the Magic Mouse:
- low profile, very slim
- it's kind of eye catcher
- easy to drag files
- you can rest your palm but it's not the most ergonomic
- better for editing videos
- for both left & right handed
- get BetterTouchTool & it's amazing to use
- No USB cables, it's a bluetooth Moue
Cons of the Magic Mouse:
- small touch surface
- battery life is not that much
- it's not ergonomic
- it's not a gaming mouse (you might say it's not a Con, get a gaming mouse if you want to play)
- easily scratched
- easily gets dirty
- finger prints magnet
- does not work on glass, it's a laser mouse
bottom line:
so, Which one to get?
- well, both are great, I love both, if you have the money for both then get them.
- Get the Magic Trackpad if you are not a video/photo editor & you are not a gamer
- Get the Magic Mouse if you are a video/photo editor & you are a gamer (you can still play games with it, maybe not that games which requires a lot of buttons)
- You can get the Magic Trackpad & some other mouse with a USB cable or other Bluetooth or wireless mouse & you won't miss the Magic Mouse (if you don't mind a USB port occupied)
It's up to you!
