Reviews for Apple Magic Mouse

This mouse is great except that it is difficult to know how to change the batteries. I should be simple and easy to open the compartment.

This is the best mouse I have ever used, when it it is working. It gives you the precision of a mouse with the flow of a touchpad. But all too often it doesn't work, because it has lost its bluetooth connection. And once you get it reconnected (which is usually a slow process) it can disconnect again a little while later. It is hard to find a pattern or a reason for this problem as it comes and goes. The poor bluetooth implementation of this mouse takes it from a 5 star product to a 2.5 star product (I gave it three stars because I am in a good mood).

I bought this mouse a year ago and its still is working perfect. The one little complaint I have is that the battery cover fell off not even a day after i bought it and it is held on with a piece of tape,but all in all it is a very good product

The battery drainage is overwhelmingly fast. You have to keep turning the mouse button off to save battery life but after working all day, you just forget. Buy rechargeable batteries, that should fix it. One other gripe I have about this mouse is the ergonomic. It may be slick in design but the grip of it gives me arthritis pain, make sure to massage upper hand area during usage.

Hardware failed after 14 months. Mouse is recognized but cursor is frozen, even after trying several suggested solutions. Optical lens apparently not working. Expected higher quality from Apple.

Apple has always made cool looking innovative mice, that are uncomfortable to use. The original mouse - too square and boxie.
The bondi blue hockey puck - hard to hold because its round
The Apple Mouse - close!! The little trackball sometimes is a problem.
The Magic Mouse - too flat.

This has always been a problem for them, because stuff that fits in your hand isn't attractive. For me I use a competitors wireless mouse 5000 because its big and round and rubbery and fits nicely in my hand and works very well for a long time.

I love Apple products, but they don't do mice very well.

As with any device, it takes some time to get used to, but I now find myself using it more intuitively than my old mouse. The only negative is that I now have difficulties using a mouse on another computer.

Love it -- Make my life so much easier. I am buying a second one for my second work station.

Nice design attempt, but poor bluetooth implementation compared to the Apple bluetooth keyboards. Have two magic mice, and both loose their connection frequently, and once the connection has been lost, it can take over a minute or require a power cycle or two to re-connect. Very annoying. Some mentions on the web that loose batteries might be the problem. Doesn't explain the long reconnect times. I recommend the keyboard, not the mouse.

I was use to my basic Logitech mouse, so when I first got the Magic Mouse that came with my iMac I hated it. It was just too heavy and felt awkward. So I stuck the thing into a drawer and there it set for almost a year. When my other mouse went toes-up, I pulled the Apple out of mothballs and started using it. Wow, what was I thinking when I stuck it in the drawer. This thing is great!

It does take some getting use to. Be patient, it is worth it. The mouse combines the best of 2 technologies, mouse and touch pad. The added swipe and tap gestures give you so much more control at your finger tips. Safari is especially enhanced by these features.

I would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for two things:
-It's not a good mouse for portability. It is heavier than the typical mouse and the top surface is glass. One bad drop on a hard surface and there goes $69.
-Battery life is awful. This mouse gets hungry a lot. I have to feed it new batteries every 4-6 weeks. Rechargeable batteries are a must.
