One of the perks of working at the Merrill-Cazier Library is my supervisor wants us to stay ahead on current technologies. At the library, we try to do quite a bit with Apple computers. Just recently, Apple released it's new mouse, the Magic Mouse. For those who are familiar with the trackpad on all new MacBook Pro's are familiar with the "gestures" that can be used to navigate web pages, applications, etc.
The surface is sensitive to touch. It still has the regular features of any mouse including left-click and right-click. As for actual buttons, there aren't any. There are not scrolling features. To scroll, you just drag your finger as if there were a wheel to track with. One of the features I really like is the "Swipe" gesture. You can use this to move forward and backward in iTunes coverflow, web browsers, etc.
As for ergonomics, it's fairly flat, but I like that because it's more relaxed and I don't have to "perch" my wrist like I do with other mice, or playing piano, etc. If I were a reviewer, it's give it 4 or 4.5 stars.
