Will the Magic Mouse result in power drain if your Mac is left on all the time?

A lot of people put their systems to sleep; mine is powered pretty much all day. Does that mean the Magic Mouse will drain power while on in the background?

How much more power drain does the Magic Mouse cause to a MacBook Pro compared to a wired mouse?

In a few months I'll be purchasing a MacBook Pro. I'll be setting it up as a desktop with an external HP monitor, an Apple Magic Mouse, an Apple wireless keyboard and a mini Displayport to DVI adaptor. But I'll also use it as laptop sometimes. And I'll probably bring it to school occasionally. I really don't like trackpads very much; I tend to prefer a mouse. So,when i bring it to school I'd like to use the Apple Magic Mouse so I don't need to use the trackpad. I would like to know how much more power using the Magic Mouse would draw from the MacBook Pro compared to a wired mouse. I'd also like to know how long the Macbook Pro's battery would last when I'm using the Magic Mouse with it . I'm asking these questions because the Apple Magic Mouse uses Bluetooth and I know that Bluetooth uses a lot of power.

When it says the Magic mouse can be right or left button, does it mean at the same time - as for using with PC applications? and on-line games

Can I use both the left and right "buttons" at once?

Some applications let you hold down both mouse buttons to do certain actions. I can't find a way to do that with the Magic Mouse.

Does magic mouse have an opening underneath for the laser or is it sealed?

Does magic mouse have an opening underneath for the laser or is it sealed (lens or cover)? I have a logitech laser mouse where there is an open hole beneath to permit the laser to shine out, but the problem is that dog hair is constantly getting inside that hole, such that I have to pick it out with tweezers a few times a week. Each time a hair gets in there the mouse starts acting crazy, and when several hairs get in there its impossible to use the mouse at all.

Is the magic mouse as accurate as a wired mouse?

Hi,

Is the new Magic Mouse as accurate as a wired mouse?

I work on an 8 Core Mac Pro on two ACD 30"s in CS4 and FCPro and find the previous wireless mouse is too sloppy and slow to use in detailed work. But I would love this new one if it is a fast and as accurate as the wired mouse that Apple ship.

Thanks.

Michael
