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
HUGE improvement over Mighty Mouse
Written by JO from Bethel Park
Dec 3, 2009
Hi there. I bought the Magic Mouse last night to replace an ailing Mighty Mouse and wanted to comment on how fabulous Apple's new mouse is. The biggest improvement, imho, is that right-clicking doesn't happen "by accident" as was often the case with the old Mighty Mouse. The finger-swipes are almost awe-inspiring, like the first time I put my hands on my other favorite device in the world - the iPhone. The Magic Mouse two-finger swipes have already intuitively changed the way I browse music, email, and the web - in just a few minutes of using the mouse. Ergonomically, it feels great in my hand. Tracking out-of-the-box was setup perfectly for me; the mouse seems to accelerate and track naturally. Well done Apple; another home run. To the cautious consumer I say: "Spend the cash, get the mouse." No other mouse can compare. …More

Apple Magic Mouse
Some cool features, but not a great mouse.
Written by JK from Winter Park
Dec 3, 2009
I must first qualify by saying my previous mouse was a Logitech, and they obviously excel at making great computer mice. The Mighty Mouse is a very cool idea, but unfortunately for me it fails at the most basic function for a mouse. Tracking accuracy.
I have adjusted the tracking speed to the highest setting and am still not completely satisfied. I find myself having to pick up and move the mouse constantly to navigate my screen. I also find the Bluetooth connection to my MacBook Pro to be spotty. Sometimes it works well, and sometimes it lags or doesn't transfer the controls I am inputting. Very frustrating.
It also seems to be finicky about the surface you are working on. I have always used my mice on a simple mouse pad which works great. But the Magic Mouse does not seem to like tracking on mouse pads. It prefers to be on my bare table surface. But I prefer mouse pads for the consistent friction level during movement. So this is another annoyance.
Bottom line is that I use music software like Ableton Live and must use the mouse quickly to click and drag. This Magic Mouse has made my life harder, not easier.... due to the poor tracking accuracy. There appears to be an acceleration to the mouse pointer. Logitech allows users to disable the acceleration feature. Apple does not. …More4 of 4 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,
