Input:
Question: Has anyone tried to use this mouse with a graphics program such as Adobe Illistrator, Corel Draw, Photoshop, etc?  Would it be like a touch pad?
Document: I've tried it for about six months and i'm giving up. I never really embraced the touch functions, perhaps because of the main flaw: it's so jumpy. I point it at something and just as i'm about to click all of a sudden it has closed a window or scrolled me down the page or changed some setting in the program i'm using. I thought a learning curve would work this bug out but it hasn't. I'm trying to carefully edit photos in photoshop for example and making all kinds of mistakes.
I was hoping I'd be able to program custom gestures, but you CAN'T.I like how Apple's touch mouse allows users to swipe the touchpad left to go 'back' in the browser, right to go forward, etc. - but this has very specific patterns you have to follow and the software doesn't allow you to add or edit gestures.
It's so heavy that the standard mouse pad I use got pushed around the desk with it! The other irritating feature is that the multi-touch is so sensitive that I ended up accidentally minimizing windows, going back on my browser, etc. just by putting my hand on the mouse.
This mouse is heavy, which I appreciate because it allows for accurate pointing when I have the pointer speed set pretty fast. This really is a desktop mouse, though. Because of its heft, I have not lugged this from meeting to meeting.The touch scroll was its best selling point because there wasn't a scroll wheel to get clogged and no touch sensor pad to clean all the time. This mouse allows the versatility to program other movements, even using multiple fingers, like Apple's touch mouse.
I can't imagine anyone wanting to give up the left or right click functionality for something else, since they are essential to normal work. You cannot program any of the gesturing other than to turn it on or off. So basically, you use it as Microsoft intends or else.So, in the end, I bought into all the pre-release hype and received a shiny new mouse that I can't right click or re-program to compensate.
Another thing I don't mind much is the weight. It is pretty heavy, making small movement a little more challenging than they should, and by small movements, I mean getting that one pixel movement, which I need when I use Photoshop for some detailing on art. Fixing these issues, and maybe using premium materials like glass and metal instead of a hollow feeling matte plastic would probably make this an excellent mouse.Edit: Just noticed another bug.
The device is fully compatible with Windows 8, and has full gesture support, which is a huge bonus. It is comfortable to hold, however, it is difficult to use in a sitting position on the couch, as it is fairly heavy. Also, because of the bluetooth connection, when the computer is running any graphics intensive program, the response is a slight bit delayed.
I have more features with my Logitech mouse and the extra buttons it provides. I would like to program swipes to perform certain tasks, but am limited to the functions Microsoft provides (and which I hardly use).
It's what I expected out of the Microsoft Touch Mouse. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a smooth touch mouse to look away from Microsoft and go with either Apple or Logitech. Both Apple and Logitech have a very smooth feel to it... almost glass like. The Microsoft one feels more like a paper towel. The touch features work much better on Apple and Logitech and are horrible on the Microsoft one.It's hard for me to imagine I even used this mouse for as long as I did.
It has no middle click. Nothing. All that fancy SDK and software, but no middle click. The only solution I've found was to install some open source program called "Touch Mouse Mate" which simulates a middle click using double tap. YUCK.3. Scrolling is really inconvenient. It's really hard to continuously keep your finger in the scroll zone, so usually it would just "jump away" in the middle of scrolling.4. Batteries last for a really short time. Like about a month.
Answer: Absolutely not. It has got very erratic behavior. I was so annoyed every time I used I had to return
