Best mouse  pad for magic mouse ?

I used a thick sponge-ish non slip mouse pad with a cloth-like covering for my MS mouse on my pc. Now with the imac and magic mouse, this pad seems not quite right. The tracking is a little strange acting. Would a more plastic coated mouse pad surface be better with the magic mouse? Or suggestions?

i use wowpad for all the mice i use, i works great with all of them. there are no issues with mouse jumping and save battery life too.

    What is best track pad for Mac Pro laptop with mountain lion

    Honestly, the one right in front of your keyboard. It's hard to do better than that one, and the Magic Trackpad is just an external duplicate of that. In fact, my dad has one for his iMac, and I seem to recall that there are one or two things I can do with my built-in trackpad that he can't do with his Magic Trackpad... though my faulty memory means I couldn't tell you what those things are at this point.

    What's best is relative to your expectations.  In my opinion, you don't need one.

  • Best Cooling Pad for rMBP 15

    What's the best cooling pad for my 15 rmbp?  I know apple laptops require a certain kind.

    Apple's documentation suggests you keep your portable on a flat hard surface, to allow air to circulate and cool. Putting it on a blanket, your legs, a pillow or other soft surface would defeat that.
    That being said, when my son had a problem with overheating his MacBook - he damaged the fans by spilling bourbon on it - he used a bag of frozen peas. He didn't tell me what brand.
    Best of luck.

  • What is the best cooling pad for a MacBook Pro

    I use the laptop in a variety of settings.  It gets really hot on my lap and was wondering if anyone has used a cooling pad they like for this problem.

    I'm sure someone will jump in with the best of the best. FWIW the MBP is not a laptop it is a notebook. And as you've probably read in your User Guide does not belong on your lap.

  • Best Cooling Pad for Desktop Use

    If anyone has an opinion, please weigh in. I'm curious if anyone has ever used one of those many laptop cooling pads/mats out there. I'm considering buying one for desktop use with my 17" MBPro. When running intense apps for hours on end (FCS, Adobe everything, StarCraft 2) I occasionally push it to the brink of freezing and nothing will save it except a hard-reset.
    So if you've ever purchased/used on of these, which are the best? Consider price to be no object. Thanks!

    @Scott - Been in post-production a long time friend. Laptops are everywhere. Get with the future.
    @MacMedic - Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely be looking in to it.
    @Lyssa - It's only been recently that my Mac has been having the over-heating issues. I'm thinking it's just a combination of getting old and summer months with no A/C. With regard to my specs you're somewhat close. It's the MacBookPro2,1; Introduced October 2006 discontinued June 2007 and I was unfortunate enough to have purchased mine April 2007 shortly before they were phased out. It has the 2.33GHz Core-2 Duo with 3GB of Memory.
    Used to run all my programs just fine with the fans kicking into overdrive, but lately things just get sluggish when it's hot. I typically only have one program running at a time, occasionally two (like Final Cut and After Effects) but not for long periods of time. With the exception of StarCraft 2 the amount of free ram is still in the 100's and I've got just over 100GB free on a 500GB HDD. It's not slow for things like Word Processing, Browsing the web (unless I run into something Flash based in Safari ha ha) or doing Mail.
    Anyway, thanks for all the help. Keep the suggestions coming in.

  • Best cooling pad for Macbook pro 15" with retina (2013)?

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook pro 15" with retina display, bought in 2013 and I started playing Starcraft on the machine. It becomes extremely hot, almost unbearable to touch and after searching online, I've been told that overheating of macs is relatively common. It is also extremely noisy. Firstly, is this something that I should be worried about, i.e. is it normal? (it is still under warranty) Also, I was looking to get a cooling pad- which one would you recommend? I couldn't find many macbook pro w/ retina display specific ones, so I thought maybe a generic laptop cooling pad?
    There are so many to choose from and I don't know where to start! Perhaps the Cooler Master NotePal X3?
    Thank you for your help!

    is it normal?
    Is the game rated for the GPU on the Mac (look at the game's specs)?  If not, then I would not run it on that Mac.
    If it is rated for the GPU on the Mac, then no, it is not normal, and I would have the machine looked at, after running the hardware test that came with it.
    See my tip about MacBook Pro heat:
    kmb kmbp: How to deal with MacBook Pro and MacBook heat?
    The GPU is the Graphics Processor Unit.
    A cooling pad might help, but it might also mask a more serious problem.      I've used this cooler on Powerbooks before:
    http://www.amazon.com/Antec-Notebook-Cooler-USB-Powered/dp/B0000BVYTV
    But only outside warranty.   Mind you, because of the heat, sometimes some of the darker markings on the edge of the cooler and come off on the bottom of the notebook.  Hence why I would only use it outside of warranty, since such marks may make the AppleCare representative think you might have done something to damage it.

    Which brand is THE best in rechargeable batteries for Magic Mouse AND last long ?

    I've been using the Apple rechargables in my keyboards/mice/trackpads for over a year now.  They last 3-4 weeks in my usage pattern but I have spares ready to go when they get weak.

  • Please, i bought a new track pad for my imac. it is working well when my imac is on. But, anytime i off my imac and wish to on it again, My track pad will be connected but it doesn't click i will need a mouse to log in my password first . Any help?

    Please, i bought a new track pad for my imac. it is working well when my imac is on. But, anytime i off my imac and wish to on it again, My track pad will be connected but it doesn't click i will need a mouse to log in my password first . Any help?
    To be specific. I have the imac late 2013 model, and i just bought the trackpad this October 2014. I have been using magic mouse without any problem. I just want to have a new experience with the trackpad.  Any time i on my imac, i will have a normal screen with my picture and a guest column at the center. I need to click either my picture or the guest in order to have the space where i can key in my password with the keyboard. But unfortunately, my trackpad will show that it is connected and the cursor will be moving in front of the screen if i touch the trackpad, but if i try to click, i will get no response. I have to put back batteries inside my magic mouse and then click on my picture if i want to log in with my id or i click on the guest image if i want to log in as a guest. it is only after this that my trackpad will start responding.
    i want to use only trackpad for now so as to be more efficient with it. I don't want to be putting back batteries inside the magic mouse only to on my imac. I need a solution please.
    Thanks.

    It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
    Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
    Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

  • Apple Smart Mouse vs Touch Pad for Aperture, etc.

    I switched to an iMac a few years back and really love it. My only "complaint" is that the Smart Mouse (which I really love the functionality of) is a bit too small and no one has deemed it necessary to make a larger one. Every time I go into the Apple Store hoping for a larger version, it is suggested I try the Touch Pad.
    So the question is - for those who use the Apple Touch Pad for applications like Aperture, Photoshop/Pixelmator, Nik Software, etc. - how is the control using the Touch Pad vs a mouse? I know that it is fine for "normal" - meaning non-Photographic applications - and I can use all the gestures that I would miss with a normal mouse. (Before you suggest it I have a Wacom tablet, but generally for quick touch ups I just don't bother taking it off the closet shelf.)
    Thanks, Steve

    Hi Steve -- I imagine this is as much a matter of personal preference (and skill) as actual performance.  IME, the Magic Mouse is just about the worst pointer to use with Aperture.  The Apple touch-pads are (again, just my opinion) excellent.  I don't hesitate to recommend that you try one out.  There are some touch-pad techniques that may not be obvious: roll your fingertip for minute changes; use one index finger to click, and the other to drag; etc.
    I also recommend any high-resolution mouse (generally sold as a "gaming mouse").  I used a Razer Naga until it wasn't updated to work with 10.8;  I switched to Logitech's G600 12-button mouse.  The programmable buttons accelerate my work, but (imho) high-resolution is the feature you really want.  I have my entire dual-monitor workspace mapped to an area about 2" x 4", and can move the mouse curser very close to pixel by pixel.
    Both the high-res mouse and the touch-pad are _more_ precise than the Wacom Intuos Medium.  In my hands, the cursor regularly moves a pixel or three when I lift the pen.  With the touch-pad or the high-res mouse I can work at Image resolutions smaller than 100%.  With the Intuos, I am better off at 100%.

  • Preference panes for Magic mouse and Trackpad not upgraded

    Hi I upgraded my i5 iMAC27'' to Lion and the bluetooth track pad and magic mouse do not support any gestures.  I have looked at all the similar threads but none seem similar to mine as I do seem to have the correct preference panes for these devices.  It seems to just have really old panes from snow leopard.
    Anybody know how I can fix this ?

    Just tried a copy of a working reference pane from macbook air (2011) and it looks juts the same.  The problem is deeper than the pane file itself.

  • Do I need a mouse pad for my new Mac mouse

    Do I need a mouse pad for my new Magic Mouse

    I assume you mean a wireless mouse.  It would be helpful  The hard surface of a desk is not so kind to it.   I use a square of fine black artist's felt and Hoover it now and then to keep the dust down.

  • Best mouse for Imac?

    I'm really enjoying my Imac but am having trouble with the Mighty Mouse (corded mouse) that came with it. For some reason 25% of the time, the mouse responds as if I hit the secondary-right button. I'm sure it's just the way I am hitting it, but productivity is going down when this happens often enough. Is there another 3rd party mouse that someone can suggest? I love the style of this one and the scroll button, bit the primary and secondary buttons are driving me crazy.

    Perhaps an explanation of how the MM works is in order and will help. I have to admit that the MM takes some getting used to and a bit of hand coordination. I got the hang of it quickly and have no issues with it. I think the MM is the best mouse for the iMac.
    The exterior of the MM is touch sensitive. It can "feel' your fingers on the exterior and interprets what it senses to determine what it thinks you want to do. I rest my hand on the MM with thumb and ring finger in the area of the side buttons and index finger to the left of the scrollball and the middle finger to the right of the scrollball. The MM is configured in System Preferences/Keyboard & Mouse/Mouse with the Primary click on the left (with my index finger) and the Secondary click on the right (with my middle finger.)
    If you click with the index finger to the left of the scrollball, you get a Primary click, with or without the middle finger touching the MM. To get a Secondary click, click with the middle finger to the right of the scrollball, but the index finger must be lifted from the MM.
    I use a rocking of my two fingers. When I Primary click my middle finger goes up. When I Secondary click my index finger goes up. (I never could master the side button squeeze, so I turned them off in System Prefs.)
    So if you are getting a Secondary click when you are intending a Primary click, your index finger must be lifting off the MM in some way.
