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 mousepad 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 workspace. 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
Good for home use, not so good for professionals
Written by RJ from SAN JOSE
14-Dec-2009
I am an IT professional working with my MacBook Pro at home and on the road.
My setup is the MacBook Pro, with a wireless Apple keyboard and two wireless mice (one home, one for travel).
I use a wireless mouse configuration with Button 1 for left click, Button 2 for right click, Button 3 for Spaces and Button 4 for Expose, plus the small ball for scrolling. A great and effective setup.
The new Magic Mouse works fine out of the box, setup is easy and quick. The Button 1 and Button 2 for left/right click work fine.
The new swipe feature for scrolling works good, maybe better than the old, small ball.
The new 2 finger zoom is a little awkward, because you essentially have to let loose of the mouse, position you 2 fingers on top, then move them apart, and ensure that the mouse itself does not move. This takes some time to getting used to.
The big drawback I found is the lack of Button 3 and Button 4. I was not able to configure the Magic Mouse in a way that it could replace my old wireless Apple mouse.
The old Apple wireless mouse is a true professional tool, the new Magic Mouse is only a gadget for home use or less demanding professionals.
I hope that Apple will bring a 4 button Magic Mouse soon. …More19 of 28 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
- 20-Oct-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,
