Microsoft Touch Mouse US Review: Not Quite Magic

Apple’s Magic Mouse is two years old. It attempted to merge two interfaces — touch and mousing — in a meaningful way by hybridising a capacitive touch surface and a mouse. It’s pretty good. Microsoft’s Touch Mouse is like that, but for Windows 7. And actually designed for human hands to use it.

Microsoft Touch Mouse Finally Reaches Australia

Gizmodo AU

Confession: At home, I use Apple’s Magic mouse, even though the hacked Windows 7 Bluetooth drivers are sketchy as hell. I have a Logitech mouse, too, but I love how the Magic Mouse scrolls. So I’ve been eagerly waiting for Microsoft’s Touch Mouse — with proper drivers — and full multi-touch gesture support. A Microsoft rep just told me it’s hitting Aussie distributors right now, and though its RRP isn’t cheap at $100 — competitive street pricing will be cheaper than that.
