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 adapters cluttering your workspace. And built-in software lets you configure Magic Mouse any way 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 mousepad 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 workspace. Once you pair Magic Mouse with your Mac, you can enjoy a secure and reliable connection from up to 33 feet away.

Apple Magic Mouse
Slow tracking and weight a deal breaker.
Written by LS from Bellevue
Nov 20, 2009
I usually use a small light high DPI Microsoft 2 button mouse with scroll wheel set to high tracking speed and no acceleration.
The magic mouse is of a similar design for holding but is heavier which creates increased friction moving it around. It is a low DPI mouse with built in acceleration that is not tunable and cannot be turned off.
On my dual monitor setup I have the tracking set to max and the Magic mouse is still barely fast enough to use. I love the scroll feature, but you'd better not be entering data into a web page form and accidentally trigger its back functionality (as I did entering this review, which then got wiped).
Yet again another Apple mouse where you cannot assign functionality to simultaneous left and right button press, so no good for some World of Warcraft playing styles. …More35 of 87 people found this useful

Apple Magic Mouse
Love it
Written by EJ from SAN FRANCISCO
Nov 20, 2009
I have CTS and the flat profile keeps my wrists neutral. The solid state scrolling and extra paging gesture are great. The mighty mouse scroll ball was constantly gunking up so that it would stop working. I'm a little worried about the lack of the ability to map some input combo to middle click. I use Maya extensively and was used to using a 3 button mouse, but am fast becoming accustomed to its 2-button configuration. I have to say that the way Maya maps key/button combos to inputs isn't the most intuitive ... but NOTHING about Maya is intuitive. Besides that, I don't think I use any software that requires the middle click. But it would be more reassuring to know that I could map it if I needed to. Really, Apple, if you can get two finger swiping to work, how easy is a middle-click? …More

Apple Magic Mouse
Apple can be so stupid
Written by PK from New York
Nov 20, 2009
Most of the complaints reported here are true:
They should have not removed the side clickers - now cant open dashboard or assign useful tasks like "all windows" through the mouse.
Tracking is WAAAAY too slow.
The big selling point, two fingered gestures that allow you to scroll back and forth through tasks, are rendered useless by the difficulty in actually using them. The position your hand is in when trying to make the move make sit tortuous. Also, programs like all in one gestures are easier to use anyway.
But the biggest complaint for me is that with the touch pad technology used here Apple completely whiffed on the biggest potential use - using the top center of the mouse to manipulate the pointer. DUMB DUMB DUMB. Went form a mouse that I never had to move except my finger to this.
I only bought this because my targus wireless mouse, while having all the abilities listed above, has problems connecting wirelessly thru the wood on my desk. Bummer. They need to update the software to utilize changes or I will be returning.
Apple - next time look at all the mice out there and use the best aspects of them all. Its really that freakin simple …More54 of 113 people found this useful
