Reviews for Apple Magic Mouse

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

Nice design attempt, but poor bluetooth implementation compared to the Apple bluetooth keyboards. Have two magic mice, and both loose their connection frequently, and once the connection has been lost, it can take over a minute or require a power cycle or two to re-connect. Very annoying. Some mentions on the web that loose batteries might be the problem. Doesn't explain the long reconnect times. I recommend the keyboard, not the mouse.

I was use to my basic Logitech mouse, so when I first got the Magic Mouse that came with my iMac I hated it. It was just too heavy and felt awkward. So I stuck the thing into a drawer and there it set for almost a year. When my other mouse went toes-up, I pulled the Apple out of mothballs and started using it. Wow, what was I thinking when I stuck it in the drawer. This thing is great!

It does take some getting use to. Be patient, it is worth it. The mouse combines the best of 2 technologies, mouse and touch pad. The added swipe and tap gestures give you so much more control at your finger tips. Safari is especially enhanced by these features.

I would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for two things:
-It's not a good mouse for portability. It is heavier than the typical mouse and the top surface is glass. One bad drop on a hard surface and there goes $69.
-Battery life is awful. This mouse gets hungry a lot. I have to feed it new batteries every 4-6 weeks. Rechargeable batteries are a must.

which numpty decided a flat mouse was a good idea. a hand naturally sits curved if you use your finger tips to push buttons and do gestures. Your palm is left floating in mid air or your finger tips hang over the top. Cant believe this gto through testing. just give it an inch more height and just make the top surface for gestures... jeeeezzz

Worked awesome for awhile, but after about a year, a TON of glitches, including not being able to scroll, and when you right click-it left clicks.....ANNOYING!

Will not buy this product again, although was fun while it lasted....

Took me a while to order it but i finally did and it was worth it, the only downside is that it doesn't feel like a regular mouse and takes some getting use to.

The mouse looks so sleek and great and functions well as a wireless device etc. Props there, however as a Graphic Designer I use the mouse all day long every day. Since getting a new imac and this mouse I've noticed unusual pain in my hand and wrist after using the mouse for long periods of time. A more ergonomic mouse would be make my job that much more wonderful!

I got this product on thursday morning and it is amazing , it works well with mountain lion and has good range. i would recomend it to any body who looking at it

Dear Jonathan,
I'm 99% sure that you have never used this "mouse" for your work. Because if you did, you would find out that is utterly useless to anyone but occasional Mac user whose only interaction with a computer is to check email or do some light web browsing (in Safari?).

What Jonathan doesn't fully understand is that the mouse is your one-way connection to the machine, not other way around. This mouse is perfect piece for MoMA exhibit and not for a serious computer users desk.

Dear Jonathan, I challenge you to design your next Apple hardware masterpiece using nothing but this mouse. You will find out in no time that it flies really nicely across your studio and it doesn’t lose much speed when it hits the wall, because it is very aerodynamically shaped.

Pros:
- Beautiful ambidextrous design
- Easy to configure and to connect from “cold start” with your Mac
- Tracks and responds very nicely for a wireless mouse
- Eliminates “one more wire” from your desk
- Great for casual Mac user
Cons:
- Relatively heavy for its size
- Doesn’t glide easily at all over mouse pad or a desk surface
- Awkward non-ergonomically design
- “Lag” feel when clicking – bad micro switch internal placing position?
- Surface feels “sticky” for smooth finger gesture operation
- Interference when used close to the Wacom tablet
- Useless with application that require middle mouse button

Conclusion:
For me personally the mouse, besides the keyboard, is the only piece of hardware that must perform flawlessly. This mouse fails way to short for my personal use. It seems to me that Apple for years now tries so hard to re-invent the wheel. In this case Apple is so stubborn in their mouse design philosophy – form over function.

If you want to interact occasionally with your Mac and OS X, and you want to use gestures, please consider the Magic Trackpad over the Magic Mouse.

And for you Jonathan.. get back to the drawing board and make us something good looking and functional.

I absolutely love this mouse. It does everything I ask and more! Comes with batteries and the sink process was easy as cake. I would recommend this mouse to anyone who is wanting a high end well produced product. If you are looking for a mouse to compliment your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, then look no further. I would buy this mouse again and again.
