Questions & Answers for Apple Magic Mouse

Absolutely. I'm using a first generation Air with Leopard (recently upgraded to Snow Leopard). The Magic Mouse works perfectly on either OS. Scrolling up and down, as well as paging forward and back is amazingly smooth, and it responds better than any scroll wheel. Also, the Magic Mouse tracks a hundred times better than my wireless Mighty Mouse ever did.

This is one mouse that Apple actually got right.

One warning: Some folks found it uncomfortable to use. It's long and low, and the top edge is kind of sharp. I guess it depends on your hand shape and how you use the mouse, ergonomically speaking. All I can tell you is that it is a very good match for my big stubby mitts. Your mileage may vary.

Yes, Bluetooth and Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6 (or Leopard 10.5 w/software updates) are the only requirements for Apple's new Magic Mouse.

A 13" Macbook Pro meets those requirements.

Yes, it will work. All macs are exactly the same no matter what country you live in....theyre all manufactured in the same place, and they all have the same functionality

Oh yeah, totally. The "momentum" scrolling feature is just superb. Feels like scrolling on an iPhone of iPod Touch. For your gaming needs, I might recommend MagicPrefs which allows you to fully customize the multi-touch features of the Magic Mouse. Because, it doesn't have a physical second button, some games I play lose much of their functionality because of that. In MagicPrefs, you can activate a touch-to-click feature that restores that the clicking wonder :)

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.

Photoshop supports scrolling, pinch/zoom, and two finger canvas rotation. There is a preference in Photoshop CS5 under Preferences>Interface... to disable gestures if desired.

It depends on the gaming you plan on - if you are playing Call of Duty, or a similarly intense game, you might find being unable to use left and right click independently a bit challenging There will be no noticeable delay from a normal click to action, and the touch interface should be just as responsive. Once again though, if you plan on hardcore gaming, i would highly recommend a Razor, Microsoft, or Logitech mouse for the ease of use and game play compatibility. All these companies have very good mouse products, and will be compatible with OS X. If you are playing bejeweled, you'll be just fine with this :)

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.

You can use Bluetooth dongle for any Mac with Mac OS X. Google: Bluetooth dongle Mac. Many people report no problem with Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter.

If you have a Mac laptop, you might want to check out Micro Bluetooth USB dongle (any brand will do if it says Mac OS X compatibility). It's highly recommended because it is nearly invisible and doesn't stand out (meaning it's impossible to break the USB port by bending).
