Looks pretty cool anyone have one and have any problems with it? Is it worth $70? Good for editing? Any full reviews?

I bought one to replace my Mighty Mouse, whose scroll wheel broke.

Its a nice concept, and its looks pretty hawt, but it's weird. The whole moving two fingers around is really difficult, because of the configuration of the muscles in the hand, you have to strain your fingers to make any meaningful motions

It track nice too, and the reception is pretty good, but I'd definitely stick to a laptop trackpad, or get a PC mouse.

I was using it at the store the other day and it took me about 5 minutes to get used to. It was really awkward at first then felt normal.

I would only suggest it if you are used to a mac touch pad. I use the gestures all the time on my mac. I love it for google. Just think of it as a track pad that you can also move around. The precision of the mouse felt really smooth. Supposedly it works on almost any surface as well.

Most any mouse with laser tracking can.

I have my Logitech G5 down to an addiction, it is painful to use any other device.

the only sensable way to make a mouse it with a right and left click (a PC idea) and mac could NEVER stoop that low could they? absolutely not. they must find their own way to to do it even if its hopeless....

Thanks for all the feedback... i guess I didnt even think that they would have them to try out in the apple store. I love my new MBP track pad and everything I can do with it. Ill +K to all who had helpful input in a minute or two.

it looks really cool to me. I personally was a fan of the mighty mouse as well though. The only complaint i ever had was the mighty mouse was useless on certain surfaces, (like a couch arm or a bed), because instead of clicking the button you would push it down into the soft material.

but i found the mighty mouse super functional (360) scrolling and I had it set up to switch desktops and show all windows. so I can only immagine how functional the new one is, it would be awesome if yu could just tap to click (that would solve my couch arm problem).
