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.

not too shabby apple....

working is desktop support services, we decided to trade up from the regualr mac mouses to the new magic mouse..... we all agree... perfect! the only draw back is the middle click... but seeing as though I only use the calculator in dashboard... this can be almost disregarded..... other than that, smooth and simple seems to be the main verdict..... on a side note.... they should go a step further, and make a rechargeable version...... but great overall. …More

Apple Magic Mouse
Just what I wanted
Written by CG from BATH
18/12/2009
I'm aware that some people are disappointed by the Magic Mouse, but it suits me perfectly. I spend my day at my Mac, normally using a Logitech wireless multibutton mouse. Some months ago I started to get a worrying numbness in the tip of my left-button clicking finger, and switched to a Logitech trackball. I have also experimented with a Wacom Bamboo trackpad device. Both have their merits, but neither seems as intuitive and easy to use as a mouse. I do like the way scrolling works on a trackpad, and this is one of the reasons I splashed out on a MM.
The Magic Mouse is much flatter than most mice, which annoys some users. I really like it. It allows me to keep my fingers lying along the surface of the mouse and perform clicks by pressing the whole index finger, thus avoiding pressure on the tip. As other users have reported, the right-click works flawlessly too, despite the fact that there is no separate right button - you just press on the right side of the mouse.
I use my mice directly on a laminated desk surface, and the Magic Mouse works perfectly on this. It slides easily, but doesn't move when I use the scrolling gesture on the top surface.
One satisfied customer! …MoreWas 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

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,
