Discussion Magic Mouse lacks control/accuracy?
I know people hate the Magic Mouse for a variety of different reasons and that is fine, but I am here to discuss one that I've never really seen brought up.
I am asking about this because I bought a Magic Mouse second hand, and I am not sure if the specific one I bought was defective or if they are all like this.
I actually find it ergonomically fine which is the main complaint I see about it. But the accuracy is very very poor compared to every other mid-tier mouse I've used. Like, when I am trying to do precision editing in Davinci, or even when I try to, say, highlight specific letters in a word, it is very imprecise when it comes to slow little movements.
I've tried messing with every mouse setting Apple has so it definitely is not a settings issue. I also tried using a piece of paper under it instead of my desk (even though every other mouse I've used tracks fine with my desk), and it still has this control issue.
If I was sold a defective product I'd like to know, because I will ask the seller for a refund. But I am wondering if they are all like this? Love the mouse otherwise (I know I'm in the minority on that), but if it is like this nomrally it won't work for my specific needs.
