Magic Mouse
Introducing the Magic Mouse, the world's first Multi-Touch mouse. The Magic Mouse brings gestures to the desktop with a mouse that's unlike anything ever before. The Multi-Touch area covers the top surface of Magic Mouse, and the mouse itself is the button. Scroll in any direction with one finger, swipe through web pages and photos with two, and click and double-click anywhere. Inside Magic Mouse is a chip that tells it exactly what you want to do. Which means Magic Mouse won't confuse a scroll with a swipe. It even knows when you're just resting your hand on it.
