I have been a Might Mouse user now since it was released and it's been a very productive mouse... allowing me lots of options while I navigate my finder and files... and assigned Application Switcher to the track ball nipple was for me a must have feature... and now my whole workflow has now become based on this simple feature. I recently purchased a new MacPro 12 Core with Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad. The Magic TrackPad I just can't get my fingers adjusted to... so I have counted that out... but the new Magic Mouse I like... I like the way it feels in the hand... I like the wireless feel about it... but the lack of the track ball is proving a difficult adjustment. I have started using CMD TAB but that's proving less effective as I'm sometimes getting mixed up with key stroke shortcuts for Adobe Acrobat... for Quitting etc...

I need to decide what mouse to use... as switching between both is even more confusing. Is the Magic Mouse the absolute future... so should I just stick with that... and adapt... or go back to me seamless Mighty Mouse workflow.

If I could assign the Application Switcher to the Magic Mouse I would stay with it I think.... it's the lack of support for the key feature is proving to be the deal breaker.

Anyone have any comments, advice, suggestions. All comments would be much appreciated.

I'm moving this to Consumer Hardware, since it is more of a peripherals issue. You might get a better answer here than from us Pro Tower people.

I'd say neither. If a trackball is really useful to you, get a real trackball from Logitech that has tons of buttons that you can assign anything, including application switching. Apple mice are nice, but they are really meant for the user who just wants a computer and is happy with what comes with it, without having to make an additional purchase.

I'm sure others can recommend their favorite real trackballs.

I haven't used it, but I believe you can do what you need with MagicPrefs.

MagicPrefs

BetterTouchTool may work as well (or MayWorkAsWell)
