Reviews for Apple Magic Mouse

Although stylish, this mouse is not practical. It loses the connection to the computer so often that I frequently find it easier to use the touchpad than to click on the appropriate icons to reconnect the mouse every ten minutes. Additionally, the battery life is very short. I had to replace the battery after only a few months of receiving the mouse. And I only use the mouse for typical web surfing.

Probably the worst creation apple has ever made. Between the random zoom in and outs, page swipes, and connection losses, this is just horrendous. Not to mention the amount of batteries needed. I have to change the batteries at least once a week. I thought a wireless mouse would be the way to go, so I could save a USB port, but I couldn't wait to throw this out the window. After many frustrating hours of usage, I decided to get a standard mouse that WORKS. Sorry Apple, hit the design floor again and figure this out. The only reason I gave it 1 star is because I couldn't give it 0.

If you enjoy having to replace batteries every few months, enjoy having periods where the mouse loses connection..... then buy this mouse. Like Apple Maps it is a heap of overpriced rubbish.

I have three of these mice - and have not had a problem with any of them. They work with either regular batteries or rechargeable batteries (Apple or any 1.2v NiMH batteries). Regular batteries will last much longer than rechargeable ones - but in general the battery life meets or exceeds expectation. I am not sure why so many people are giving poor reviews. After using this mouse - I find it very difficult and awkward to use other mice. I use the Magic Mouse quite a bit (at least 4 hours per day) - and I can't say that it has caused any hand cramping or discomfort.

This mouse came with my iMac I bought last February. Many people complain about the battery life but if you look under your bluetooth feature it tells you exactly how much percentage of life you have remaining. My battery life has been excellent for all that I use it. The ergonomics are wonderful, no pain in my hand and I enjoy the intuitive features only Apple can create. I have had random disconnecting/reconnecting issues in the past, however they resolved with turning the bluetooth off and then back on, changing the batteries, and restarting the computer. Would buy another in short. It is hard to use another mouse after this one.

After a year of constantly replacing batteries (yes, many battery changes in a year) I have to throw in the towel. The mouse constantly loses connection. It is beyond frustrating to have to jimmy it around and hope that it finds its way again so I can finish whatever task I am working on.
My Office Manager jokes that MM is either having a good day or a bad day. And unfortunately for us, it's a bad day 5 days out of 7.
I thought I might have gotten a lemon but it seems other Apple MM users are experiencing the same problems.
Also, I have started using it for a drawing program and it is impossible to control fine, fine detail being that the speed is jumpy.
So sad for us that we will be going back to unattractive but functional (and most likely) old school mice.
Please Apple, find a way to improve upon this good looking but non functioning mouse.

I do a lot of desk top publishing and decided to upgrade to this mouse. It scrolls nicely, it zooms in and out nicely, but when it comes to clicking, or highlighting or wanting to insert text into an existing sentence it fails miserably. It freezes. I have to click elsewhere and then return to try again. It hesitates. It will not allow me to insert text into an existing file name. I have resurrected my old microsoft Intelimouse, plugged it in and it is working the way a mouse should work. I'm returning this magic mouse to the store!

This is one of the best purchases you can ever make on a mouse. Looks great, works great, and feels great to use. Bluetooth works outstandingly and the overall mouse performance for tasks such as precise editing is unbelievable. It is very durable as well. I have dropped it many times on accident and nothing at all happens to it. It looks very well with either wireless or wired Apple keyboards. Multitouch features are great on it, and there is so much to adjust to your liking in the system preferences on your mac. Great product!!

We have had this mouse now for well over a year and are very happy with it! Once we put some decent batteries into it we have had seamless mousing for months on end. We use the mouse relatively often and have yet to change the batteries from the new ones we put in shortly after buying!

This is a great Mouse! love it!
