Best Answer
I've seen a few different answers to this question, but here is the suggestion that I received from a tech at the Apple store, and it has worked for me multiple times in the 15 months that I have been using my mouse.
Get a Q-tip damp with alcohol and spin the dampened tip against the ball vertically and then horizontally. Use the other (dry) end of the swab to roll the ball in the same way, absorbing the alcohol. Do this once or twice and let it dry for a few minutes, and it will operate like new.- Answered by PO from Venetia

Best Answer
Yes it does. The wireless Mighty Mouse can function on one or two batteries, so you can use two if you use it mostly at home, or only put in one battery and have a lighter-weight mouse for use on the road.

Best Answer
First go to system preferences and click on mouse. With the options to choose how to use the different sides of the mouse, I made the right side of the mouse the secondary button.
After that setting, to right click you click on the top right hand side of the mouse and it becomes the right click.- Answered by LE

The Mighty Mouse uses bluetooth to connect to the computer, so the maximum range will be about 30 feet, but that will be less if you try to use it through walls, doors, etc.

What type of surface will this mouse work on? Do I need a mouse pad?

Best Answer
Any surface so far for me. I've even had it working on the Mac itself. So far I've had it working on polished surfaces, wood, metal(the Mac), white paper, brown paper, back of my hand (don't ask).
Hope this helps.- Answered by BR from newport

With my wired mouse I could squeeze & tap to see icons of open applications. How is this done with the Magic Mouse?
Is this an Expose feature? Or was it set from Mouse Properties? Now that I have a Magic Mouse I miss this feature? Is there a keyboard shortcut for the screen of icons showing all the running applications to make switching between apps easy?
