Is anyone using the Magic Mouse? Is it worth the price?

Yes got one.

IMHO it rocks. Eats batteries like Godzilla but get 4 AA rechargeables and a charger and keep swapping them out.

So much easier in Logic using option and control-option key modifiers as well. Instant zoom. I don't know how I did it before I got this.

Ok -maybe a slight exaggeration but it seriously rocks.

Hey Andy, is that the first one? I think the second one is rechargeable, no batteries.

Yes, the second one is now rechargeable. I hear it has better battery life than the original. I have an original and love it. I would also check out Better Touch Tool. It really extends the abilities of the Magic Mouse, Track pad and keyboard.

Wow, the Magic Mouse is everything you guys said it is! it's so... Apple, way ahead of the curve innovation wise. Definitely speeds things up and hopefully will stave any chance of carpal tunnel.

I've been using Magic Mice for years on my home computers. They'll spoil you very quickly!!
