The Magical Magic Mouse
Fell in love at the first sight? Maybe. I tried to get one the next moment I noticed its announcement. Of course, being away from America we have to wait for anything new, and when we talk about Apple products, it can be quite a long while. We all may notice how long we had to wait until we can use an iPhone.
But hey, mouse should be a bit better as it is not something dependent to exclusive agreement between Apple and network provider. Right, but still, we could not get hold of a Magic Mouse right away. I started to notice ways to get hold of one by buying it from US. One way was purchasing through online stores and shipping it across the oceans and continent, but I know that the shipping cost and custom charges would be even more expensive than the mouse itself. Another way was through people traveling there who brought one or two in their luggage. But the price was unbelievable.
I ended up deciding to help my pocket and train my patience, I rang the owner of local Apple reseller whom I knew, asking him to call me as soon as he has one in stock. Instead of sellers enthusiast from receiving a pre-order from customer, I heard a slight reluctance in his voice. “You may end up getting from the black market even for a higher price just to get it quicker”, he replied my suspicious question.
I managed my mind and waited patiently for quite a long while, long enough to almost forgetting it. I guess it has been four or six months until yesterday he rang me saying “Listen, I got two Magic Mouses and one has been taken by someone else, you can take remaining one today otherwise you will have to wait for the next delivery, which I am not sure when”. Of course I had no other answer then “Yes” and asked him to send it over to my office. Funny thing was that when I asked him the guy who bought the other one he bluntly said “Your boss”. Damn, he didn’t even tell me.
Once I had it on hand it took me some time just to admire it. It was absolutely gorgeous. Installation was a snap, it was nothing more than pairing two bluetooth devices. The first experience was fabulous. Movement was smooth even when I tried in different surfaces thank to sensitive laser sensor. Clicks could be made anywhere on the surface, but I set to make it recognize right hand-click. Scroll and swipe were the most appealing feel as we could do theme anywhere on the surface with amazing response.
I personally think Magic Mouse is the masterpiece of both art of technology. At the price which is not so much different from high-end laser pointing device it offers best possible experience in very very very sleek design. Just like any other Apple products, we feel it a little expensive but at the end we realized that they absolutely worth the price.
