The Sun optical mice managed to be both annoying and clever - they didn't get too dirty but the effect was often the same, skipping around when they should have been smooth.
I was a fan of the Logitech TrackMan marble. (I preferred the one with the thumb wheel).
It doesn't matter that there's a trackpad on the top, because you can't use it. You'll need to curl your fingers to an uncomfortable degree and there's to little traction beneath the mouse to prevent it from slipping when using the trackpad functionality.
My guess is that the Magic Mouse needs to be close to 50% larger, certainly taller.
The Magic Trackpad however... I hope they never stop making those. That is the best input device anyone ever made. It's large, stable, precise and just a joy to use.
But, in all seriousness, I'm impressed that they were able to do this non-destructively.
I don’t know if you consider a single button a questionable decision, but the ADB II mouse was as close to perfect as the technology was able to support when it was released.
It's super clear that they don't view the traditional mouse as the intended interface to their system and expect you to use the trackpad.

Well-played..
