The best mice for design?

- Two designers (geeks) discussing the pros and cons of the mice they use day to day.
The Magic Mouse 2 vs the MX Master 3. Could there even be a comparison here... The MX Master is one of the most high-end third-party mice you can buy, and the Magic Mouse is just what you get free with the iMac. But maybe there's more to it than meets the... charging port on the underside.
Ergonomy + functionality = Logitech MX3
Design + build construction + materials = Magic Mouse
It would be great if Apple redesigned their veteran mouse along with the other devices. Nice evaluation guys.
Yes, exactly! If only there was a mouse out there with MX Master comfort and the build quality of the Magic Mouse! We can dream haha.
Magic Mouse right? Compact and I use the pad surface a lot, with one finger or two.
I get it the charging is a pain in the back, but you can get use to that.
For 25 years in the world of 2D and 3D design and about a hundred mice that I have tested, the buttons above and below the thumb proved to be the most practical feature (it would be perfect to have another button for the index finger, next to the wheel). Ergonomics and functionality of these mice is what suits me: Delux M910 (wired only, no longer on sale) and White Shark MIYAMOTO.
Yes! The thumb buttons really help speed up workflows. I've never tried the White Shark, but it looks comfortable - it's nice that has a thumb rest like the MX does.
Great Job Guys
Nothing beats the wacom tablet experience. I aint going back to mouse ever.
i agree that the magic mouse experience is very good-- the ergonomics could be a lot better on the magic mouse. I have loved using gaming mice in the past for design and find they're really good for things like autocad since you can program a lot of the buttons to commands.
Yeah agreed! MX and gaming mice are so much more practical, just not always to a lot of designers' taste in terms of aesthetics.
For Photoshop Which one would you suggest?
I've used and abused the magic mouse 2 for some years now.
The ergonomics are awful, really really awful, and my hand isn't even big. I don't know how a big dude would manage to work with that thing for extended periods of time.
That being said, No other mouse offers the same experience and speed when navigating a big canvas in several directions (say Illustrator, Figma, Adobe XD, etc). I've been using the MX Master 2S for a few days now and even thought the ergonomics a dream come true, and you can indeed map a ton on functions into the several buttons, the scrolling wheels having nothing on the smooth scrolling surface on the Magic mouse. Also, it is incredibly sturdy. The Magic mouse 2 I got from my last employer has seen rough times, and still looks and works as new. My personal Magic mouse is almost 11 years old and although it has some connectivity issues (due to old blutooth tech), the mouse as such is still in its prime.
I'll stick to the magic mouse for canvas work, and use the other for regular things or coding (I'm both UX designer and developer).
I agree! The Magic Mouse is durable and makes navigation really smooth and efficient, but the big drawback is the ergomonics. I recommend getting your hands on a Magic Trackpad to use alongside the MX, it makes navigating a dream, with the added bonus of the super functional MX. - Eilidh
I have to say. Outside of the smooth scroll, the apple mouse really isn't that great. I would still give the build quality and materials to the Logitech mouse. Plastic is not a bad thing in mice. They do this on purpose to cut back on weight. The Logitech also uses rubber which is a huge bonus. The next thing I would say is aesthetics shouldn't be ranked so highly in your list of things to discuss. Aesthetics for peripherals can always be changed. Use what is best. If you really wanted to have a great keyboard, you would probably find you prefer keyboards other than the Apple keyboard anyways which would mean you'd have color options.
The materials on the Logitec feel very high end compared to other mice in the market, but with daily use I don't find they are as durable as the Magic mouse. They discolour and there is a sheen on the previously matt buttons. This doesn't affect use though obviously! On the keyboard topic, we could really get into mechanical keyboards but that is a video for another day!
TERRIBLE Video!!!
Not even giving any constructive info about why the video is terrible. Your comment is terrible.
Design Break...great video content...very helpful to me. I have an iMac w/ Magic Mouse. But it's from 2013 and going bad. For work w/ Blender, I am deciding which of these is best to use. Thank you for the clarifications.
I was praying the music would end but couldn't stick around long enough to find out.
