[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1397411"] It's adjustable. Not an issue. All Mac apps have contextual menus. Again, a non-issue. Effortless. I'm really surprised you didn't notice this IMMEDIATELY in your trial. By comparison, any scroll wheel requires much more physical and conscious effort. It sounds like that MM you tried hadn't been set in settings at all. All I can say to this is I do thousands of words per day on mine. The "chiclet" style is now actually pretty standard across all keyboards for notebooks I've seen, Mac or PC. i know the iMac isn't a notebook, I'm just saying that Apple uses a standard keyboard type. Personally I've been in love with it since 2006. But it's certainly no big deal to use a different keyboard (Mac-specific or generic PC) if you prefer. Keep a quick-charger and use rechargables. Turn the mouse and kb off when you're done for the day to save battery life. You might want to check out a Magic Trackpad as well, I don't have one but everyone I know who does just raves about them. Next time, don't be afraid to visit the Mouse or Trackpad settings on the machine you are testing (if at an Apple dealer, ask for guidance on this). Set it to the way you'd want it at home and give it a try. It took me a bit (about 15 minutes or so) to adjust to "natural scrolling" after 30 years of doing it the other way, but now it really is natural. And I love what Apple have done with the physics of it. [/QUOTE]
