[...] I’ve had a Magic Mouse for a few months now, and while I generally like it, I may have happened upon one downside: poor battery life. After the last pair of AAs died, I made a note of the replacement date so I could track how long they lasted upon the next battery change. Well, I just swapped out a new pair, and the length of time: six weeks. [...]

Yeah, I like the feel of the scrolling too. Very similar to swiping on

Yeah… Definitely not ideal as a gaming mouse.

I like that you can scroll without moving your finger. Makes it much easier to browse around, and when you want to scroll down, you just flick your finger down from its current position. I feel like it's easier on your finger to not have to move it back and forth all the time.

This looked like it would be terrible for gaming (I play Steam games in Windows sometimes).

Thanks for the review – was considering this, but the gaming aspect is what's keeping me with a Kensington mouse instead. That, and the non-configurable buttons on the Magic Mouse – kind of a shame.
