Is the magic mouse as accurate as a wired mouse?

Hi,

Is the new Magic Mouse as accurate as a wired mouse?

I work on an 8 Core Mac Pro on two ACD 30"s in CS4 and FCPro and find the previous wireless mouse is too sloppy and slow to use in detailed work. But I would love this new one if it is a fast and as accurate as the wired mouse that Apple ship.

Thanks.

Michael

    Typically, no wireless mouse will be as responsive as a wired mouse. This has to do with the simple fact of data thru put speeds and signal latency. Bluetooth is a relatively low speed and high latency technology. USB on the other hand has more than enough overhead to allow for EXTREMELY accurate input control. While this new mouse beats my old wireless mighty mouse in speed and accuracy it is no match for a high quality wired gaming mouse. Good mouse yes, gaming mouse NO!

  • yes it is as accurate as the wired mouse but you have to be careful as on to which surface you use it because the laser in it cannot pick up some surfaces.
