From using other laptops I thought it would be a good idea to invest in a mouse when getting my new macbook pro. But after getting used to the Macs track pad the mouse soon built up a coat of dust.

doesn't compare to trackpad; seems rough on surfaces
For a company that pioneered the widespread use of the mouse as a computer controller, Apple has a surprisingly bad record at making good ones, particularly since the return of Steve Jobs and, with him, industrial design as the prime driver of product creation.
Apple fans are likely to be pleased with the wireless Magic Mouse. It looks right at home among other Apple devices, and some of its multi-touch functionality is extremely useful.
Slick design; Vertical-scrolling functionality works like a physical scroll wheel; Pairs easily with Mac computers; Equally suitable for left- and right-handed users

Smooth, comfortable form factor; Multitouch gestures streamline goofing off on the web; Buttonless design bids farewell to the Mighty Mouse's dirt-loving trackball
Lack of Exposé and Spaces support will force your hand to the keyboard more often

If I asked you to describe a mouse you would either tell me it's a small rodent or you would tell me it's an input device for a computer that has two click buttons and a scroll wheel. The creation of the scroll wheel re-invented the way we interacted with computers.
Touch scrolling up and down is a breeze
Side swipe is hard to master
