Reviews for Apple Magic Mouse

I expected the best but have found this mouse to be heavy (awkward in trying to move quickly for games) with a very short battery life. It had a very slow resolution (had to pick up the mouse a couple of times to move across a page until I found a program that made it more responsive). Now that's better but miss my light, fast Microsoft optical mouse that I had before switching to Mac. Will try to find something better. Have had my IMac for just over a month and the batteries on my mouse already need replacing. That's too short for a moderate user.

The mouse was great starting off, but as time went on I lost my connection. It won't even connect to my imac anymore, so I can't even use it! I had to switch to a microsoft mouse that I had. I only had the mouse and the computer for little over a week, so I am disappointed in the operation of the mouse. Do not buy this mouse

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.

I should of listened to the majority of reviews on here and steered away from purchasing this mouse, but I didn't. The next day I took it back to Best Buy. Talk about uncomfortable, way to slim, it really hurts the wrist to use. The material they used for the thing to slide is absolutely awful! ! It doesn't want to move and if you put it on a table, it WILL scratch it! Forget about a mouse pad, doesn't work well at all.The concept is great, but that's about all that's great about this mouse. If you buy as I did, Good Luck! Allocate alittle money for the gas your going to use to take it back. I love Apple, but they really failed big on this one.

My trusty old mouse won't work with Lion (don't get me started on what I think about Lion or icloud!!) and now I have arthritis in my thumb from this stupid thing. There is no support for the entire hand -- and I have really small hands. I agree with a reviewer that I read online: Apple products are now no better than PC so why am I spending the extra $$$? I plan to make a slow switch over time. It's just not worth it any more.

I keep losing connectivity with the magic mouse. It seems to be a battery problem in that changing the batteries always restores the connection. However, this seems to be happening more frequently--every month now (I've had the computer and the mouse for a year). I've decided to give up and buy a conventional mouse.

This mouse loses its connection to the computer in the middle of any task. It happens every day, usually several times, and requires a reboot to reestablish the connection. It often loses the connection after a period of "sleep" and again, requires a reboot. MOST ANNOYING !! Don't throw your wired mouse away!!!

This mouse is fair, except the sliders disintegrate over time and with use. The metal piece that covers the batters now slides on the desk from time to time.

I have this mouse and it worked ok for a few months. But now even after I change the batteries for a new pair it still won't connect sometimes. I hate having to restart my computer because of this stupid blue tooth mouse! And changing batteries in your mouse all the time is stupid. For now I'm using a cheapy corded mouse, and it's so far more reliable, although not touch sensitive.

I'll take an ugly one that works over a pretty one that doesn't.

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.
