It's funny how these pretty, but disastorous from usability perspecive, mice get this much attention where really excelent products like Logitech's MX Master series isn't even known by the geeks singing praises to Apple.
It appears in the top results on Google for “buy mouse”. The Apple mouse does not appear for me at all.
It also appears in the top YouTube results for “buy mouse”. I only thought I would add this tidbit because I found it fairly disappointing that the MX Master series (which I am not a fan of) was basically the only result that appeared when searching for a mouse. It was disappointing to see how little competition there seemed to be in the space.
I prefer Magic Mouse on my Mac. Actually I mostly use use my trackpad.
I think Apple has nailed their gestures, which makes me prefer their pointing devices over third party.
So yes, MX is known by Apple sheeps.
I'm not really embarrassed to admit that I didn't know how to use my Magic Mouse for the first year I had it. The first generation was lighter, and my skin didn't slide due to the texture of the glass so I didn't even realize it was touch. I still scroll from the touchpad with my left hand or use hotkeys.
Love your tools. If you don't, find ones you do.
So I guess I don't mean that it's lacking functionality, but that Logitech doesn't support it's software on Linux.
I also have a Magic Mouse for My MBP but, except it's touch surface, it's worlds apart.
