Reviews for Apple Magic Mouse

This mouse is great, except when you use it in conjunction with an external display and you close your laptop screen, while Time Machine is running the mouse becomes almost completely unusable because of the lag.

I have the Magic Mouse and I don't like it for several reasons:

1) You still cannot squeeze it and this is huge for me. I am a power user and constantly have between 6 and 10 windows open at a time when I am working

2) It is too low of a profile

3) It's very loud when you move it around, much louder than the mighty mouse, and quite annoying!

4) I find it difficult to hold onto without accidentally dropping it or letting it go.

My overall review... 1/5 stars. It was a great idea, but a total FAIL on Apple's part, and as a business owner, we have our own business account and own A LOT of Apple products!

I had high hopes for this mouse, but for what I do, it's just not a good fit. I work as a graphic designer, and it's hard to find a happy middle between productivity and frustration. The mouse is very sensitive to the slightest movement when I'm in InDesign, and I find myself scrolling back and forth on the page to get anything done. The same with Illustrator. If I go into preference and make it slower, it defeats the purpose when I'm on the internet trying to scroll through pages. I'm planning on getting my old mighty mouse out.

The tracking on the Magic Mouse is weak, I had to whip out an ancient mouse pad in order to make it work at an acceptable level. Furthermore, there is no Exposé function on the new Magic Mouse, which actually takes an IMac's awesome functionality years backwards. It is time for the current mouse without a tracking ball or a portable glass pad be born.

If your using any programs that require more than one button then this mouse is not for you. It will require going into your mac system preferences to try and update more then just a left click. Then when that doesn't work you can try going into whatever program you are using to see if you can enable more mouse options. Then after spending 30 mins scrolling through forums or going through apple help you'll decide to either write a negative product review.

Why buy this mouse when you can buy a cheaper mouse that works the first time around without playing around in settings. Macs are supposed to be user friendly. This mouse is not.

It's expensive and poor quality.
This is not an Apple product ... it's just stylish, glamourous ... but low quality!
Any cheap Logitech mouse is better than this mouse.
It often loose the bluetooth connection, multi touch gesture is not ergonomic.
Must cost 15USD ... no more.
Shame of you

I've had this mouse for less than a year. I was very impressed with how it worked. I loved every feature about it. Then it quit working. I can still scroll up and down , and left and right click, but I can't move the cursor around. Luckily I have my old Mighty Mouse, so I can still use that. I've looked online to try to find ways to fix it, but nothing has worked. I then tried to call apple to have them help me, but I would need to shell out more money for that, which is a major disappointment. In the end, I wouldn't recommend this mouse to anyone, which is unfortunate, because I really did like it until it quit working.

I don't like mine! If you accidently lift it up off the table, you lose connection and have to take time and spin it around on the table before the connection comes back. This is very frustrating when you are trying to do some serious work. Also, the batteries are constantly going dead. So . . . you have to take the time to address this problem, as well. It's convenient in the fact that you don't have an additional cord to worry about. However, dealing the the cord is less of a P.I.A. than the other issues that the wireless mouse presents.

Sorry to be a nay-sayer on this particular product. First and most importantly, I've been using a Microsoft 6000 laser mouse with 4 buttons and a clicking/spinning/tilting wheel for 5 years now. This is my baseline. My first complaint is the shallowness. I'm use to resting my hand on top of the large/high MS mouse. With apple, it requires me to hold it up on my own make long days in my hand Second big prob for me is lack of 4/5/6 buttons or motions. I have Spaces and widgets on their own button. No can do with the MM..you have to use the keyboard....Extra step for me. Lastly, the touch-based scrolling is nifty but quirkly. I cannot get the same preciseness with the MM that I can get with a clicking wheel (when it used to work) on my MS mouse. Same problem with the 2-finger swipe. Not always accurate where as a 'click' is (you know when you've clicked but you dont know if your swipe was successful therefore sometimes sending me back too many web pages than I want, etc).
