Reviews for Apple Magic Mouse

As a right-handed person who is a left-handed mouse user, I love this mouse a lot, especially when using my macbook Air while biking on the trainer. I think it works really well under difficult circumstances, which is an awfully inexpensive platform for a laptop on top of handlebars, until I can afford something better, since I've spent all my money on good quality bikes and computer gear.

It may not be the best choice for a work machine (which could depend on a center mouse button) but it is a beautiful and smooth interface to an already elegant machine (my Mac). It's a really cool toy.

When it works it's too awesome. I love the touch sensitive scrolling. However, it has a tendency to loose connection. According to tech support wi-fi networks, microwaves and cordless phones can interfere with the signal. Well I live in the apartment, and my air port card can detect six different networks. Obviously I have a lot of stray signals I can do nothing about. I really wish they had a wired version of it, That I would buy.

Who cares if it looks cool? It is literally a pain to use. It has no hand support. The touch sensors are annoying. I can't use Photoshop at all because this stupid mouse is constantly zooming in and out! Apple really has to stop designing product based on on aesthetics. They constantly drop the ball on practicality. No apple product is worth the money, and this mouse is a prime example. Can I rate lower than one star?

I purchased the Magic Mouse because I found that the trackpad on my MacBook Pro took more getting used to than I had time to give it. In particular, I found the "click" mechanism to require more pressure than was natural for me.

I love this mouse! Aside from the usual attractive design specs, it is properly sensitive, but so much so that it is difficult to control. I would definitely recommend this mouse.

I was totally in love with this mouse. I had really gotten used to video editing with the older Mighty Mouse, but was tired of trying to clean the track ball every month or so.

When I picked the Magic Mouse up I thought my prayers had been answered, and they were. I was able to edit a lot faster, life was good. Then one day the Magic Mouse turned into the old Apple one click mouse. I couldn't swipe or do any gestures, I couldn't even get the right click to work.

I searched through forums and after trying all solutions nothing worked. My Magic Mouse now sits in a drawer with the twisty-ties, cables, and other useless computer junk.

I had read both positive and negative reviews of this mouse before making my decision. The positive's far exceeded the negatives so I took the plunge. Bottom line, the mouse is brilliant and it works as advertised. Movement is sharp (even for a wired or USB mouse) and crisp and there is zero noticeable Bluetooth lag you normally see from other manufacturers. The button(s) are responsive and whether on a mouse pad or desktop, the unit moves around freely.
Now for the caveats: Because this mouse is sleek, it is difficult for me to use it for long periods of time, comfortably. If you have big hands, this may not be the mouse for you. Second, it is sensitive so if you set it up for left click/right click operation and you have big hands, you will right click when you meant to left click and vice versa...there is no avoiding it.
Neither of these 'negatives' are the fault of the device itself and are only meant as warnings to others with large hands.
I give it four stars simply because it is not made for everyone. However, functionality wise I would say it is 5 stars!

I'm not a computer or electronics guru. I rather be riding my Harley. However with modern technology these days, you need to know how to use a computer. I bought the mouse because i was tired of of swapping out the USB port adapter with my old mouse. This new Magic Mouse to me is awesome. I find it easier to use then them freaking high tech mouses. Only complaint I have is that the price seems a little high.

Semper Fi.

This is the best mouse I've ever used. This is high praise, as I've used dozens, down the years. I am especially impressed with battery life. I reccomend this mouse to anyone.

this mouse was fine. now it's not. it won't track on my desk. if I put a magazine under it, it works. according to the Apple support forums this is a problem many other customers have. I am disappointed that I will have to replace this expensive and necessary accessory after owning it for perhaps 2 years.
