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
Very uncomfortable to use
Written by FF from San Francisco
Dec 3, 2009
The magic mouse has an odd shape, with sides that slope upwards and outwards. The device tends to want to pop out of your hand. I'm not sure why they did this, but it makes the mouse incredible uncomfortable to use if you are doing work that requires extensive use of the mouse. While it looks cool - It truly is a BAD design. Very un-apple like :(
I'm going back to the last version of the mouse. …More4 of 7 people found this useful

Apple Magic Mouse
Friction on lower surface
Written by RW from College Station
Dec 3, 2009
I received this mouse for my birthday and was eager to try it. I found that the lower surface produces a lot of friction with my desktop and the keyboard drawer (which is where I keep my mouse). The rubber pads on the bottom don't seem to blunt the force at all, and the Apple logo on the metal surface is scraped after just a few minutes' use. The bottom panel was securely attached, but maybe this one was warped somehow.
Before this I used a Logitech wireless optical and loved it, but the Magic Mouse is so small in my hands. Also, the swipe feature kept actuating and causing my browser window to go "Back" and "Forward," which I realize is an issue with my finger motions. I'm a copy editor and rely on a firm mouse that really fits into my hand. The Magic Mouse also did not track fast enough, even on the fastest setting. I have two 24-inch screens with my iMac, and having to pick the mouse up several times just to move the pointer enough distance was frustrating. …More3 of 8 people found 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
- Oct 20, 2009
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,
