It takes a bit of manual dexterity to hold the mouse and wiggle the fingers in all the various configurations. Magic Mouse with BetterTouchTools seems to offer the best of both worlds.īack to the OP, this all works for me, but I don't have a child, so don't know how well it would work for a four year old. I might still try a trackpad, but I'm not sure it's worth the cost, or that I'll even like it. The only thing missing that I can think of is pinch to zoom. I wanted to get a trackpad to try the gestures, but now I'm not sure it offers much that I don't already have. It took some getting used to, but now I love the Magic Mouse. Connection Types: Apple Lightning Connector. Sensors underneath the trackpad surface detect subtle differences in the amount of pressure you apply, bringing more functionality to your fingertips and enabling a deeper connection to your content.

In Mail, two fingers up and down moves to previous or next message. 85 Inches (H) x 2.25 Inches (W) x 4.47 Inches (D) Weight. Three finger swipe left or right (it's a little tricky to do) switches between tabs. I configured three finger swipe down to show desktop, up for Mission Control. (Chrome Canary now has one finger swipe built in). One finger swipe back and forth between web pages was only possible in Safari, but BTT allows you to have the same functionality in any browser. I discovered BetterTouchTool, which allows you configure many more gestures than come built in, which may have made the the trackpad moot. I probably would have opted for a trackpad given a choice, but since I ordered a refurb iMac, I didn't have the option. However if you're really on the fence then order both, yes it will cost a few bucks more but it's a solution. Now there is an excellent choice, the MTP. For those that use desktops they're just used to using mice because until now their wasn't another viable solution.

If you had been using a recent Apple notebook and were considering an iMac I'm confident you would have no doubt which to choose. They have been using them on their notebooks or years now and most people adopt them quickly. It's clear Apple is also planning their future on using a trackpad. The learning curve is primarily made up of unlearning old bad habits of using a mouse, relearning some muscle memory that we've built up over the years using mice. Once you get over the learning curve (it took me about 2 weeks) I suspect you will feel the same as me. Also the batteries last significantly longer, the Magic Mouse is notorious as a battery eater. The MTP has more gestures available for it and brings out more of the power than any mouse can. I'm in my 50's and made the change last year and since then my old mouse lives in a drawer and hash't seen the light of day in about a year. Without a doubt get the Magic Trackpad! For the adults used to using a mouse there will be learning curve but it's short.
