Reviews for Apple Magic Mouse

It looks nice but is way overpriced. It is not ergonomically correct and had me thinking i was feeling the effects of carpel tunnel, think it has started it but will know after going back to my ergonomically correct logitech.

No thumb support so triggered pain all down my arm, almost to my shoulder. No wrist support since you are flat. It loses connectivity all the time and the speed of it even changing it in settings is slow for my speed. I also had serious lag with it. Tried it for 2 months and donating it.

I just purchased this so called "magic mouse" not really doing any research as to what apple has taken away from the previous mighty mouse. I opened the box up synced it with my computer and realized they no longer have the side button functionality which i use religiously with my daily tasks. The "Application Switcher" option when hitting the two side buttons was one of the best features of the mouse along with the secondary click. I think apple has went to far with trying to be cool and destroying functionality. I love apple, but this is a product from them that i dislike.

Pros: Sleek, no more scroll ball to stop working, secondary click
Cons: A little too small for my hand, doesn't fit as nicely as the might mouse. No side buttons, and a lot heavier than the previous mighty mouse.

cheers.

I got so frustrated using this mouse with Indesign that I ended-up throwing it on the floor and plugging in my previous mouse. This "Magic Mouse" may be good for web browsing, but not for page layout and design work.

Magic Mouse has great looks and is very trick and fun to play with. Initially, it is most impressive! You must decide though...do you want sleek and fun...or do you want a mouse that can be productive? I have had the Magic Mouse for 6 months and I want to throw it against a wall several times everyday! Ergonomically, the shape is unnatural and wrong...the hand does not rest on this mouse the way it does on nearly every other mouse ever made. Because of its shape, Magic Mouse tends to get sideways in the hand...at which point, what you think is a left click is a right click and what you think is a swipe is a scroll, etc, etc. In no way does form does not follow function with Magic Mouse. I am sure you've already read how Magic Mouse eats batteries and how, in some applications, scrolling/zooming is absolutely BERSERK...true and true. Has Apple ever made a really decent, reliable mouse? Logitech does!

Why do you need a wireless mouse? I'll give you some good reasons:

1. So your battery can run out. Perhaps it will be at 2am in a Hyatt Regency in Columbus, Ohio, with no where to buy a new one. If you're lucky!

2. So you can help fill landfills with more toxic batteries! Yay!

3. So, when you have it on a tray on your lap with your MacBook, it will slide off and break when you sneeze.

4. So your 2 year old son can take it, and hide it.

5. So you can work across the room from your monitor. You can still read the monitor, right? Good thing you have a wireless mouse, right?

Hey wait, that's five reasons! Instead, let me give you THREE SUGGESTIONS Apple, Inc:

1. U
2. S
3. B

PLEASE!

Never been happy with an Apple mouse. The Magic Mouse is too sensitive. If you simply rest your finger on the mouse you could wind up scrolling or zooming to God knows where.

Anyone who uses a mouse for anything other than a single click will find this mouse useless. That is, until they add the proper gestures to truly be a "magic" mouse. I know that there are third-party applications to solve this, but currently they are only available on the mac. I currently use both the mac and pc side of my macbook pro and HATE, HATE, HATE the fact that this "magic" mouse doesn't have the center button option. Apple really needs to improve this!

...it lets you go back one page instantly by dragging two fingers across the top right to left. In this regard its much faster and easier than a key combo and it becomes intuitive very quickly.

The people who are complaining about the ergonomics of Magic Mouse are correct. The design is too thin, and you must hold it differently and adjust your grip constantly because you don't have the range of motion with your pointer while resting the heel of your hand on the mousing surface. Yes, it is beautiful but the Mighty Mouse is a much better shape for moving the pointer.

At least the tiny non-cleanable track pea is gone. If it were not for this constant source of irritation i would prefer the Mighty Mouse heavily.

The Magic Mouse is fun and kewl, but the discomfort of using it for long periods of time make me less than thrilled with it.

Yes, the mouse looks great, but things end there.
Slight touches on top of the mouse send signals to the web browser to act erratically going to the previous page. For most who rave about this review seem to be infatuated with the design of the mouse than the functionality.
For it to be a 5 star mouse, I'd look to (*gulp*) Microsoft for a little more inspiration.

Wanted to love this mouse but it's really hard to. It looks great. I'm not adverse to the ergonomics of it, but the more I use it the more disappointing it becomes. The problem lies with the two black rails. Firstly they are magnets for dirt / dust which translates into an grinding noise and feel when using it. Biggest problem though is the rails are actually discoloring my desk and leave a black coloration on my hand. Kind of like graphite from a pencil. It's so bad I've reverted back to mighty mouse. Very disappointing.
