The little scroll-ball one my old Apple Mighty Mouse stopped working, so i ordered the new Magic Mouse. It was out of stock for over a month, but i finally got it.
I’ts far from perfect, but i like the touch sensitive surface on the top.

Might and Magic

Magic mouse

+ Nice design
+ No moving parts
+ Scroll, Zoom, back and forward without any buttons

- Right click sucks
- More design than ergonomic

There is a free software called MagicPrefs that improves the functionality of the mouse.

For my latest project i needed to cut some styrene foam, so i took a regular car battery charger, 220v dimmer and a guitar E-string. It was a little difficult to cut it free hand, but i used the wooden frame as a guide for straight cuts. And it worked really well.

Temperature of the wire can be adjusted with the dimmer
