Reviews for Apple Magic Mouse

First off the design is absolutely beautiful. Everyone who sees it just loves the look. Its definitely a mac. However, i only gave it 3 stars because i preform FUNCTION over form. I was disappointed to see that the 3rd and 4th buttons previously found on my mighty mouse are now gone. I got very used to being able to center click and have Expose pop up my windows then click and bam i was there. I still use hot corners but clicking on the fly was much faster. I didn't use the 4th button (squeezing the mouse) too often so I didn't lose too much there. The upgrade from the rolling ball is nice, i used to hate having to clean the mighty mouse ball out all the time. As for the finger scrolling, i find the mouse often lagging behind my swipes. I may be sitting reading an article for a few minutes then by the time i get to the bottom ready to scroll it seems the mouse has "fell asleep" and the first swipe is never recognized, making me have to keep swiping to "wake the mouse up" so it can function properly. The tracking as others have said is for lack of a better word HORRIFIC! I use a 22" Samsung 1920x1080 monitor and i find myself picking up and moving the mouse all the time. Its quite annoying to run out of "mouse pad real estate." This is my main complaint, Apple PLEASE FIX THIS!!! All things said and done, unfortunately i would not purchase this product again, i would just stick with my old mighty mouse.

I'm an art director, so I use Photoshop.... A lot. Since it requires constant mouse use for making paths and selections, the sharp edges on the sides begin to cut into the side of my finger. I had to switch back to the previous, more rounded version of the mighty mouse. I love the design, but they should taper the corners a bit more

When I had Snow Leopard OS I loved my Magic Mouse...it worked just fine. But then I upgraded to Lion...and whenever I was on a website, it would occasionally jump from side to side...sometimes disappearing. I went back to to my original corded mouse and what do you know...the jumping and disappearing stopped! I much prefer the simplicity of the Magic Mouse and the scrolling worked great with Snow Leopard...but I just can't tolerate the jumping around and skittishness of sites while using Magic Mouse...I'm ordering a new corded mouse because the scrolling isn't working properly on my old one...

I use two Magic Mouse devices, one with an iMac and the other with a MBAir (when at home), both with Lion 10.7.2. In general mouse design works as advertised. Finger swipes work well. Tactile sensation indicating engagement when mouse depressed works well. Device is easy to keep clean.

Durability appears to be an issue with one mouse. The battery cover frequently disengages and and falls off of the iMac mouse, which gets moderately heavy usage. With both mice the double tap zoom feature is broken. A double tap (even unintentional) zooms well. However a subsequent double tab does not zoom out. I end up having to close and reopen Safari to restore the view.

Mostly I love the performance of the new Magic Mouse, but it has its drawbacks. Occasionally it will page back or forward with the slightest touch, but overall that isn't a big inconvenience. The major downside of this product is that it uses batteries very inefficiently. I've had mine for less than two months and already changed them twice after the originals wore off in about a week. (I see that Apple has added a $29 reusable battery charger to the accessories for the Magic Mouse, probably for this reason.) Though I love the touch-sensitive technology and it works very well, I'd prefer the good old standby USB mouse that didn't create as much waste and expense.

The Magic Mouse is amazing, it works like a charm. However, the battery is draining like crazy when it's lightly used. Even if my computer is in sleep mode, it drains too.

I will start by saying I ordered 2 online and was excited about their arrival. The first was perfect, nice controls, great movement and controls. The packaging was slick. There in-lies the problem. A strong tape is used to keep the mouse in place. When I pulled the mouse off the sticky tape the back door came off one of the mice and would not go back on properly. This mouse is well thought out but the battery cover is only 5mm thick and will easily deform leaving you in a bind. BE CAREFUL WHEN REMOVING THE BATTERY COVER ON THIS MOUSE! If it bends or breaks you might need magic to put it back on.

The Magic Mouse is a good mouse, that's obvious. It's just really, really difficult to get used to. Even after setting it to detect right clicks without the key held down, it was still very annoying to use. It's no good for gaming, if any function needs the right click, because most of the time it clicks left instead.

It's a good mouse, but it could be a great mouse.

While the features are excellent I give it 3 stars for ergonomic reasons my fingers, palm area aches during usage and it happens every time that i stopped using it

Purchased about 6 months ago. Best mouse I've ever owned EXCEPT for the fact that the battery cover comes undone at least a few times a week while I work. The fit is much too loose; especially surprised at the design flaw given Apple's attention to detail.

5 Star Mouse IF NOT for terrible battery cover closure design.
