Apple Magic Mouse
The same Multi-Touch technology first introduced on the revolutionary iPhone comes to the mouse. It’s called Magic Mouse, and it’s the world’s first Multi-Touch mouse. Click anywhere, scroll in any direction and swipe through images on its smooth, seamless top shell. It works wirelessly, using Bluetooth, so you don’t have to worry about cables or adaptors cluttering up your work space. And built-in software lets you configure Magic Mouse any way that you want.

Overview
The magic is in the Multi-Touch.
The new Magic Mouse redefines what a mouse should do. In addition to its smooth, seamless top-shell design that acts as one button or two, Magic Mouse features a Multi-Touch surface with gesture support. Scroll vertically, horizontally and diagonally - a full 360 degrees - simply by touching anywhere on the top surface. With a greater surface area for scrolling, you can get around a long timeline in iMovie, through a lengthy web page in Safari or around a set of images in iPhoto more efficiently. You can also swipe through pages in Safari or photos in iPhoto with two fingers. It’s the most advanced Apple mouse ever made.
One or two. Left or right.
The seamless, one-button design of Magic Mouse makes it simple to use, right out of the box. But if you want the functionality of a two-button mouse, that’s easy, too. Just change the configuration in System Preferences. And the ambidextrous construction means Magic Mouse is great for lefties or righties.
Laser tracking engine.
Magic Mouse features a laser tracking engine that’s far more sensitive and responsive on more surfaces than traditional optical technology. That means it can track with precision on nearly every surface with no mouse pad required.
Bluetooth technology.
Magic Mouse works wirelessly with your Bluetooth-enabled Mac. When you combine it with the Apple Wireless Keyboard, the result is an untethered and uncluttered work space. Once you pair Magic Mouse with your Mac, you can enjoy a secure and reliable connection from up to 33 feet away.

Apple Magic Mouse
The shortfalls of form over function
Written by WE from Rockford
11/12/2009
My initial reaction to the new Magic Mouse was one of pure gadget lust. The overall concept and purity of form are near the pinnacle of industrial design. After spending two full days with mouse in hand, I have become aware of the shortfalls of form over function.
The loss of two programmable buttons (side pinch buttons and scroll ball) have disrupted my work flow and my use of Spaces, Expose and Widgets. The slim profile and the crisp upper edge had forced me to change the fundamental way I hold the mouse (between thumb and ring finger to a thumb/middle finger grasp). After the first day, the cuticle area of my ring finger was sore from the crisp edge. The other consequence of the thumb/middle finger grip is that the two-finger swipe motion requires a repositioning of my hand each time I want to use it. It also puts my clicking finger at the far edge of the top surface. I find that my clicking finger is making more frequent and unnatural lateral movements that are causing considerable discomfort. For someone with smaller hands, this may not be an issue.
The touch surface scrolling seems like a great concept, there is an inefficiency of movement involved. On a Mighty Mouse, scrolling requires a movement of only 1/4", while the same movement on the Magic Mouse requires a 1-1.5" movement with less accuracy. Repeat this 500 times a day, like most graphics professional do, and you see how this is working against you.
So, while the Magic Mouse get high marks for design, the functionality is really a downgrade for me, because I get really concerned when I leave work and my hand aches because of my mouse.
My old Mighty Mouse will not get retired to a box in the cupboard just yet. In fact, I just purchased another because, for me, they work perfectly. …More27 of 34 people found this useful

Apple Magic Mouse
Not good for my Mac Pro
Written by MH from EDINBURGH
10/12/2009
This mouse is a weird thing - I like the feel, the touch and that it scroll with out a ball/wheel. But I have been trying to get this to work properly on my Mac Pro for some time now... moved around with things but still is really performs poorly. On the Mac Pro the Magic Mouse have really poor tracking performance it is not only slow but also disconnects and loose tracking and get stock for short periods. The scroll have the same problems.
So to conclude I am very disappointed with the performance of this mouse and don't hope this will be seen again in future products. I now use to old "Mighty Mouse" with a non working ball! But tracking is good with this mouse at least.
I hope Apple soon releases a Magic Mouse with a USB cable for proper functionality - this would also be nice to cut down on battery usage as well.
Please Apple you can do better!? …More6 of 8 people found this useful

Is the magic mouse supported to work under windows? If so, is the functionality reduced to just clicks or is it full?
- Asked by TG from NORTHVILLE
- 21/10/2009
Best Answer
I'm running an HP laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate. The Magic Mouse paired with the laptop
via Bluetooth on the first try. Windows added a generic driver, which provides all cursor
movement and button click functions. I have not yet discovered how to add scrolling and
swiping or any other "wheel mouse" functions or any additional buttons.
But the basic functionality is there and the simple Windows mouse driver even supports
setting the cursor speed and accelleration and click speed and other properties, so I think
it's just matter of time before I discover how to engage the other functions by learning the
scan codes used by the device and emulating them in a TSR. Of course, I'll prefer to have a
driver that will handle that, but I've literally just installed the device and am only now starting
to search.
Best,
