Reviews for Apple Magic Mouse

I LOVE my magic mouse. Navigation is made almost disgustingly easy and it's just so cool! My only dislike is the length of the battery life. I've had it for about 3 months and have changed the batteries about 5 times. Granted, this could probably be helped if I turned it off when I was done, but who really remembers to do that? It's definitely not a deal breaker, as I'll rave about it to anyone who asks, but be sure to keep a good stock of batteries around.

I just purchased this mouse and have been using it for almost a half day now. It's looks are stunning - pictures don't do it justice. Of course, like all things in the world, it's not perfect.

Let's start with the ergonomics. It's obvious; it's definitely not the most comfortable mouse out there - it's just too sexy though, so you just won't care. In any case, it's not even that bad! I was a former Logitech mouse user so I definitely have experience ergonomic, comfortable mice. The magic mouse is going to take some getting used to for sure, but once you do it's really not bad at all!

If you're thinking about upgrading from the Apple Mighty Mouse ... DO IT! The might mouse was terrible - I had so many problems with the scrolling using that stupid trackball.

Overall ... I do recommend this mouse to anyone looking for something to compliment their Apple computer's beautiful design and their Apple keyboard.

Good mouse. Really stylish and beautiful. Only thing I didn't like about it was the price, but if you really want a good mouse and you're willing to invest some money I would definitely get one

The removal of the ball alleviates many problems of a fouled scroll ball from its predecessors. The annoying problem of the misinterpreted right button click from the mighty mouse was also corrected. So this mouse is a pleasure to use on the basis of the elimination of these problems alone. The scroll gesturing and the zoom is a much more natural motion than with the old undersized ball of the mighty mouse. I think Apple missed the boat with what they could have done with the gesturing, like adopting the pinch motions from the Iphone/Ipad for zoom control, saving the user from reaching for the key. They also eliminated the side buttons and the center click with no replacement. So you will need to assign corner zones for expose and the dash board. They could have easily added extra gestures for these functions and many more.
Over all, the Magic mouse is a vast improvement over the Mighty Mouse, but it remains an unfinished work of art.

I use it with a mac book pro and love the product. There is a very small delay but not a big deal for me. I use it for basic functions like web browsing and word. I would not use the mouse for gaming and/or photo shop though. All and all i would give it a thumbs up

Picked this up lately at the local apple yesterday. Been nice so far. After months of fighting with a sticky trackball life is good. Still getting used to it. Found on some sights the zoom is a little touchy though.

I'm very pleased with the mouse. It's a little different than other mice but takes only a few minutes to get used to. Take your time and try to hold it in a store or use it before buying.

If I could change anything, I would like the mouse to have a recharging cradle similar to iPhone.

I've owned two of the previous wireless mice made by Apple. They were great until they lost the ability to scroll. This new one is amazing! I have confidents that Apple has fixed those issues with the old and made this new one even better. I don't know how they do it, but they've it well.

The mouse works great for mousing duties. However, if you are a graphic designer, then you'll need a mouse that it more accurate and sensitive. The features are neato, and after using this mouse for only a couple of hours, I was completely used to it. It also works on ANY surface. The only really negative thing is that it is very heavy. Ironically, the weight of the mouse with no batteries is just about the perfect weight. I read somewhere that Li-ion batteries may be lighter, but I think that they would have to be a lot lighter for you to work with it for a long period of time (ie. 3 hours +) and not get a tired wrist/hand. Good price and functionality for a bluetooth mouse though.

The mouse itself has incredible design and best scrolling I've ever used on a mouse. Even compared to a Mighty Mouse, which scroll ball has to be cleaned weekly. The cleaning procedure of this one is done by my jeans. I give it 4 stars because of extensive battery usage (have to change batteries every 3 weeks, iMac is used 8-12 hours a day) and sharp edges, which brings some discomfort on a long day use, especially I feel it when doing repetitive tasks. Looking forward for Apple to fix battery issue. Meanwhile I've ordered a pack of Eneloop rechargeables.
