Reviews for Apple Magic Mouse

Sounds great on paper but, in practice, this mouse is tiny and unergonomic; it hurts my hand after about 30 mins of use.

Also, the touch sensitive scrolling is far too sensitive and imprecise, therefore useless for anything but scrolling through documents (where precision is less important).

It probably goes without saying that this mouse is useless for gaming, as it's impossible to press both mouse buttons at the same time (FPS games in particular will usually require that you hold down the right mouse button to aim iron-sights and then click with the left to shoot).

For general desktop use, you would be far better off with the Magic Trackpad, which offers much more precision and less ergonomic pain (although still useless for gaming of course).

I've been using this mouse for over a month now, and I've never been in so much pain! Even when I'm home from the office over the weekends not using the mouse, my wrist, knuckles, and pinky finger still ache. I've found the only semi-comfortable way to use it (if you're a frequent user like myself) is to place a bit of stiff cloth in the palm of my hand to fill that awkward bit of space between your hand and the mouse. I will be ordering a 3rd party device or at least a mmfixed shortly to avoid any permanent carpal tunnel or tendon damage

WHAT were they thinking by designing a mouse that runs only on aa batteries, I get through 2 aa batteries every week! Surly they must have considered being able to charge it via plugging into the computer or apple device, but no, its just a way to keep AA battery companies in business!

The title should emphasize my message. Do not acquire this product. You'll be sorely let down.

First of all. Ergonomics are totally wrong. They have been sacrificed on the altar of nice shape. My hand is totally broken using this product.

Second of all. This might be my personal preference but, the motion sensor of the mouse is positioned on the top of the mouse bottom. This means that all the mouses that I have used since 1994 which have had either ball, infrared or laser in the middle of the mouse will feel weird. Actually I never got used to the Magic Mouse. The motion just feels bad.

The touch sensitive surface is a good innovation but not practical. Usually I just end up touching it by accident and end up scrolling somewhere that I do not want to.

Conclusion, if you have ever before used a mouse do not buy this. It'll not be worth it.

I paid a lot of money to this mouse, however, I would suggest you to buy with the cable one. It is impossible to do designs on my MAC with this mouse. First, it disconnects often even if you have 100% battery. Second, it is not ergonomic at all. It is difficult to do right and left clicks. Third, battery goes very quick and you need to spend money for batteries over and over or battery charger.

Please do not buy this mouse. It is waste of money. You will be regret, trust me. Therefore, I will buy cheaper version with the cable one.

I expected much more from this mouse. Firstly, I was disappointed that the tracking speed couldn't be set to be (much) higher, since I'm used to having a much more sensitive mouse, which requires far less wrist movement.

Secondly, it is really irritating that the slower the mouse is moved, the cursor starts to move IMPOSSIBLY slowly. This is especially painful when navigating menus, for example, when the mouse speed is typically slower than average.

I don't know if other brands' wireless mice work with mac computers, but if they do, I would recommend them 100%.

It's nice to have some gestures that can be performed on the mouse, like on the trackpad. But that hardly matters when Apple haven't even got the basics right and there's no way to change these settings. Big disappointment.

Nice when it works but mine started to malfunction after about a year (i.e. after the warranty finished). Essentially it wouldn't track well. I tried all the recommended solutions with no success. Apple refused to repair or replace. I would really expect Apple stuff to last longer. Very disappointing for a mouse that costs £59! I can't recommend this to anyone.

It really hard to work in adobe suites with it, so I have had to switch all of the functionality off. Not only that but it looses connection every 5 mins.

I have replaced the battery 8 times since Jan in an effort ti resolve the issue, and yes i switch it off.

If you just a web browser and not a creative professional then the mouse would indeed rock. But if you want to work with this don't bother and get the old faithfuls.

I extend this as well to the wireless keyboard equally frustrating!!!

So i have about £100 plus sitting in a cupboard and i am back using the old equipment i luckily hung on to.

Apple normally works nicely, but I never had a worse mouse :-( I connects easy to my Macbook air, but lackes and the scrool works only sometimes... Sent if for repair and go a new... SAME S... - so, an overprices mouse that also is unusable due to the lacking, at least for me :(

The battery life is just appalling. Alkaline batteries lasted about 1 month. Rechargeable ones less than 1 week. I switch the mouse off overnight, but this leads to all sorts of connection problems, so I always have an old cable mouse plugged in for standby. Not a very usable product, even though I like the touch-scroll functionality.
