Which app results in the best mouse?

[TheSinMuffin]

I'm looking to control my mb with my ipod as a mouse. Anyone got suggestions? I know about iTap and Air Mouse but which one is the most responsive as a mouse? I also want to use it for Powerpoint and Keynote Presentations. Please suggest something here.

I really love Snatch. Check out the lite version first and see if this is what you are looking for.

Yeah me too! Love it ---wait ---what are we talking about.

I like Snatch, too... Even though I only have the lite version. I'm afraid the full version won't be worth it, though, because I have 10.4 in which the server's in beta.

Mhmm. I tried the lite version but I can't seem to use powerpoint/keynote with it. Anyone know about Air Mouse? It seems to function as an actual mouse instead of just a trackpad.

Not sure, sorry. I've seen in the App Store though and it looks like it might be what you're looking for.

Try checking YouTube for a video. Someone might have made a video of them using the AirMouse app.

I have iTap which is awesome. Does everything that I wanted it too and I recommend it at 5 bucks (AUD). It has pretty sweet features being: two fingured scroll, right/left click, three fingured swipe to keyboard and a mouse! IMO it's well worth a look, and it works even better with the update to the server recently (uber smooth - and my internet connection is not too strong in my room). I also have snatch test, not much difference in mouse control really, pretty similar but half the price (to full Snatch). I think you should go for iTap, I did and I'm loving it. Snatch might have been judged better on the iLounge ranking thing for mouse apps, but back then iTap didn't have a keyboard. Now it does (it was second then, and therefore better than air mouse and the rest) it could possibly be the best?

Deffinately snatch. I tried airmouse and another one, forget, and they're ok, but I love snatch

Note that the demo of snatch didn't work for me, and or was buggy... it's a much older version. the program author isn't doing himself any favours here as i was very reluctant to get the full version as the demo didn't work.

you can make your own screens of custom buttons to perform macros, eg i have a screen that controls Logic Studio transport, I have one that duplicates the buttons on the apple remote (but of course, this is wifi, works better than IR)







Those screens are from the dev's, site the manual is there too: Link here

Obviously it does the mouse stuff nicely, but I just love the other options which is why i deleted airmouse when i got this.

Yeah I was originally going to get Snatch, but instead went for iTap as I didn't feel the need for the custom buttons (although a very cool addition). I also saved as much as I spent on iTap so I'm happy. iTap may also add the custom thing too, who knows. I mean it only recently got the keyboard, and then the arrows and escape and enter and music/video controls including volume.
But if you want the custom button, dish out the money. I didn't need it so I didn't. 10 bucks won't buy you much else, so it's up to you. I think the choice is out of iTap, Snatch and air mouse.

In depth review of all the mouse apps. They recommend Snatch for Mac, Air Mouse and iTap for PC.
