I have had NONE of the problems others have complained about. Bought my macbook pro and magic mouse about 3 weeks ago. Have used both a lot and I find that they work perfectly together. There are mouses that require additional set-up after installing and some of the non apple mouses will not allow me to use all of their functions as my computer is so new they havnt kept up. I have been computing with a mouse for 18 years and this magic mouse is by far the smoothest operating, sleekest looking and easy to use out out of the box as I have ever owned or used. Cannot speak to battery life yet but in 3 weeks of heavy use the battery is still testing as strong! $70 is a lot for a mouse but i don't regret spending the money 1 bit! Greatn mouse!

The Magic Mouse is a good mouse, that's obvious. It's just really, really difficult to get used to. Even after setting it to detect right clicks without the key held down, it was still very annoying to use. It's no good for gaming, if any function needs the right click, because most of the time it clicks left instead.

It's a good mouse, but it could be a great mouse.

It seams that it is very easy for the mouse to loose its connection. This drives me crazy. I have to wait several seconds to recover and reconnect! Not that happy with it.

The Apple Magic Mouse is an outstanding product. Batteries last a LONG time if you use Energizer lithium batteries. Even regular alkaline batteries last quite well. I have found the Magic Mouse to be exceptionally ergonomic and very comfortable to use.

I can't understand the negative reviews about people complaining it's "heavy". That's nonsense. I like the fact that Apple used aluminum in it's design to give it some heft and a feeling of being a quality product, which it certainly is.

The only thing I would like to see is a software update which would allow its scrolling sensitivity to be fine tuned (reduced sensitivity) for use in programs like Word and Excel. That however is NOT a hardware issue, just a software enhancement which would really take it to the next level.

All in all I really love the Magic Mouse for use with my MacBook Pro. One other thing Apple might consider, offering a slightly smaller version in black & aluminum to compliment their MBPs and MBAs.

Horrible product - jerky mouse movement makes it useless.

1. You have SWEATY palms (hours of work will make ur hands slightly sweaty that u will hate to use the scroll feature!)

2. Very sensitive, like ur skating bare foot on ice! (moves u to another page with the slightest accidental touch)

3. Its bottom skates ONLY move on smooth SOLID surfaces. (i sometimes use my mouse on the couch..or anywhere i am sitting)

4. Heavy!

5. Painful for MS Office users.

This mouse is great except for one thing. It's really heavy. I'm going to try the track pad.

There are times I really like it, it scrolls easily throughout most Word documents. If you remember to turn it off each night, the batteries will probably last longer for you--I always forget. It is just AWFUL in Excel (I am using Office 2011) as well as in two of our in-house database programs. The slightest touch, the lightest breath, and it flies through these software packages and I have to scroll back to where I was only to have it jump forward again immediately. It won't sit long inside a cell--it just doesn't like Excel. I have set it to slow down as much as I can, and this hasn't helped. It's like driving on black ice. Given my enthusiasm when I took it out of the box, I now have to say I hate it.

High quality, does what it says it should do, and performs very well, great connection via bluetooth.
