Questions & Answers for Apple Magic Mouse

No. They need to update their firmware to get us back to the options we had with the mighty mouse.

The bottom does NOT have rubber bumper strips. They are plastic. The body of the mouse is constructed from aluminum. The top is clear acrylic plastic which scratches very easily. The bottom are two black plastic beams. They keep if off the tracking surface. They are made from a strong plastic and should stand up very well to your tracking surface. That is why they are there in the first place! If it is on wood, it will mostly be worn faster. On glass, the mouse generally will not work anyway. As for the surface of the desk, wood will be the worst if not laminated good. If it is not too smooth, it will wear a lot more.

No, unfortunately. I put it on a magazine or piece of paper when I have to use it on a glass table, but I'm pretty sure it works with a mousepad, so it's an easy fix.

The previous answer was not entirely correct. Just because a laser conforms to US or international standards does not mean its "safe". All lasers have some potential to harm the eyes. Its a matter of distance from the source to the eye and power output so even systems that say "eye safe" can cause eye damage depending on how far away/close you are. I do not know the power output of the laser however you should never look at or into a laser- even those briefing ones that reflect off the presentation screen. Its just a good practice!

First of all, this download is free for Mac if you don't have it. But if you do, the mouse icon in System preferences will be the Magic Mouse. Without it, the icon is a mighty mouse.

not right now.

I say that because Apple could eventually update the software for the mouse which could open up to more functions but as of now no unfortunately. There's always expose though :)

Yes, it works with Leopard (providing it is updated to 10.5.8, and the mouse update is added to support the touch). It works with any Mac running Leopard, providing the Mac has Bluetooth.

I share your disability and challenge with Mac's laptop touchpad. I have found the Magic Mouse very helpful overcoming the problem of crimping one's fingers to use the touchpad. I highly recommend you consider using the Magic Mouse. However, be certain your laptop meets the minimum requirements...

• A Bluetooth-enabled Macintosh computer
• Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0 or
Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0

I have a early Macbook Air with v10.6.x and the wireless mouse software update on which it works perfectly.
