Apple Trackpad - it's almost magical

[Jack3559]

I love using the trackpad on my MacBook Pro, although when doing design I need to use a proper mouse for more accuracy. I am a big fan of the Magic Mouse, I think it works just as well in all honesty.

This.

You need to get a wacom tablet, they are the nuts. I use one all the time at work and have one at home for freelance stuff. Much more intuitive and probably the best way to use create stuff. A bit expensive but an Intuos 2 (which is good enough) can be bought one ebay for a reasonable price.

Legit Wacom the best by far...especially the big uns...it needs to be big if using it for design and intricacy

Those are a bit expensive for controlling my Boxee

I've been after an ultraslim keyboard with trackball/trackpad ( the Apple keyboard would be ace with a trackpad attached, but not separately ) to control my Boxee media centre (normal PC with the boxee software installed).

The MBP has a good trackpad, but I should hope so at that price.

For accurate stuff like video editing I still find myself connecting a mouse though, so putting a trackpad on an iMac seems like a retrograde move.

The gestures sh*t on the magic mouse work fine, but if I'm honest it works no better than my treasured Microsoft 5-button mouse which is still the best mouse I've used (especially as a leftie).

Another example of Apple applying some fancy branding to something already in existence and the Apple faithful going 'oh wow man, this is like, so new'.

Can't wait for them to bring out iWater, which will only be accessible through the iTap because it'll be like SO flexible and useful.

For people with Magic Mouse, you need to get MagicPrefs in your life! The amount of things you can do with it is nuts, I only use a few but they make life sooo much easier!

I can thoroughly recommend the logitech di novo. Has built in track pad and media controls

I assume the Mini and not Edge?

I've only used the edge and didn't know there was a mini. The edge is really good and looks nice in it's charging stand next to the telly.

I'm sure that you can get an android app where you can control your pc using your phone as a track pad and keyboard. I'm using a similar thing for osx and iPhone called rowmote
