Lions hate mice. (Yes, I’m talking about computer stuff)
After some days of use, I think a trackpad is mandatory for Lion. You learn the gestures pretty quickly and they let you navigate A LOT faster. You’ll notice that, when you’re like me using your Macbook in a setup with external keyboard and mouse (standing desk in my case) and switch regularly between normal Laptop use and on the desk.
Now using the mouse feels like walking with crutches, at least using the Apple Magic Mouse. Yes they added some gestures to it as well, but there are two problems:
- The gestures are different for the same functionality, which can give you headaches.
- Not all gestures are represented.
I will go with this setup a little longer, but I feel a switch to the Magic Trackpad is around the corner.
