Apple Creates Multi-Touch Mouse

Apple recently unveiled one of its newest creations: a mouse that responds to gestures and finger movements instead of the usual clicks and scroll wheel that come standard on a regular mouse. Dubbed “Magic Mouse“, this mouse uses a special optical laser that can read movement on any surface. This means the user does not have to have a mouse pad; the Magic Mouse can be used on just about any surface. One of the best features of this mouse is that it allows the user to have many different mouse configurations in one. For example, a left handed person can configure the mouse so that right click will be on the left side of the mouse, which fits a left handed person better. The mouse allows its user to click and double click anywhere on the touch surface, as well as utilize a scroll function that is harnessed by dragging a finger along the surface of the mouse. Another great feature of this mouse is that it allows a user to hold down the control key on the keyboard and drag a finger along the touchpad to zoom in. The Magic Mouse also offers a “momentum scrolling” option, where the user can increase the scrolling speed of the mouse by dragging their finger faster or slower along the touchpad.
