Reviews for Apple Magic Mouse

After a year of constantly replacing batteries (yes, many battery changes in a year) I have to throw in the towel. The mouse constantly loses connection. It is beyond frustrating to have to jimmy it around and hope that it finds its way again so I can finish whatever task I am working on.
My Office Manager jokes that MM is either having a good day or a bad day. And unfortunately for us, it's a bad day 5 days out of 7.
I thought I might have gotten a lemon but it seems other Apple MM users are experiencing the same problems.
Also, I have started using it for a drawing program and it is impossible to control fine, fine detail being that the speed is jumpy.
So sad for us that we will be going back to unattractive but functional (and most likely) old school mice.
Please Apple, find a way to improve upon this good looking but non functioning mouse.

I do a lot of desk top publishing and decided to upgrade to this mouse. It scrolls nicely, it zooms in and out nicely, but when it comes to clicking, or highlighting or wanting to insert text into an existing sentence it fails miserably. It freezes. I have to click elsewhere and then return to try again. It hesitates. It will not allow me to insert text into an existing file name. I have resurrected my old microsoft Intelimouse, plugged it in and it is working the way a mouse should work. I'm returning this magic mouse to the store!

i just got this mouse few days ago and i really like it, i like the way is made and.
most people might not like it because it doesn't have a left & right buttons.
the way i look at it is that if it has the same functionality but looks different and especially that neat i like it.

This is a really wonderful mouse. Smooth, comfortable, versatile and precise with very good looks to boot. I love the multidirectional touch sensitive top - so easy to use wherever your fingers go. Yes, the tracks need a little cleaning every now and then but that's easy to do with a wipe of a finger. Once loaded with the popular brands of batteries I use the magic mouse never lets me down. The design of the sides means the mouse lifts to make it seem weightless as it glides across the mat. V quiet click too.

I bought this mouse a year ago and its still is working perfect. The one little complaint I have is that the battery cover fell off not even a day after i bought it and it is held on with a piece of tape,but all in all it is a very good product

The battery drainage is overwhelmingly fast. You have to keep turning the mouse button off to save battery life but after working all day, you just forget. Buy rechargeable batteries, that should fix it. One other gripe I have about this mouse is the ergonomic. It may be slick in design but the grip of it gives me arthritis pain, make sure to massage upper hand area during usage.

Hardware failed after 14 months. Mouse is recognized but cursor is frozen, even after trying several suggested solutions. Optical lens apparently not working. Expected higher quality from Apple.

Apple has always made cool looking innovative mice, that are uncomfortable to use. The original mouse - too square and boxie.
The bondi blue hockey puck - hard to hold because its round
The Apple Mouse - close!! The little trackball sometimes is a problem.
The Magic Mouse - too flat.

This has always been a problem for them, because stuff that fits in your hand isn't attractive. For me I use a competitors wireless mouse 5000 because its big and round and rubbery and fits nicely in my hand and works very well for a long time.

I love Apple products, but they don't do mice very well.

As with any device, it takes some time to get used to, but I now find myself using it more intuitively than my old mouse. The only negative is that I now have difficulties using a mouse on another computer.

Love it -- Make my life so much easier. I am buying a second one for my second work station.
