Apple mice to get more buttons
 

They are moving right into the 16th century, Apple mice now with multiple buttons! Can users handle it?

multiple meaning what, now- 3?
I can see it all now... 'Apple has unveiled this 'new' innovation in anticipation of a landslide sales increase with the impending release of such new games as Lemmings 3-D, Age of Empires, and the special 6-disc re-release of last year's bestseller, Descent.'

It's about as laughable as the thought of Chevy releasing their 2006 models with that 'new fangled Fuel In-Jection thingy'.

And all these years, those mac users who have hidden their secret shame of using non-mac mice can breathe easier, as there is now a less efficient answer ;)

Though getting the surface to be touch sensetive is interesting: no switches to wear out.

touch sensitive? neat! maybe i should've actually read the article before i subsumed into my jackassery :)

I can't stand Apple Mice, I hate the push the whole mouse down to click thing.

still stupid though, how are we going to know it clicks without the little vibration through your finger

they still lose though, 8 buttons FTW:

Hehe, I'm happy with my 4 buttons and tilt wheel :D

Hey Gryph, you have an Intellimouse?

hehe I imagine there will be few buying that mac mouse for their PCs

yeah :D

i'm using a Logitech MX Laser cordless mouse, myself. 8 buttons, baby! Though, the packaged software doesnt seem to recognize the tilt mousewheel. I don't know about anyone else, if they've used one, but these ergonomics arent great for gaming. I find the mouse is too high in the middle, and it cocks your wrist back to a point that it hampers mobility (and hurts, dammit)

for FPS, i go back to my 3-button logitech optical :D
