Reviews for Apple Magic Mouse

Not as sensitive as i like it, besides that, perfect!

...not so comfortable. I use it when I work from home all day and my hand starts aching after just a couple of hours. It's so nice and streamlined, but I sure wish it was more ergonomic.

The only other negative is that the swipe can be a little too sensitive and does not allow adjustment. One wrong touch and your document goes scrolling waaaaaaay fast the wrong way. Nothing's perfect, I guess.

Otherwise, the mouse is brilliant - it is fast and responsive, and I only have to change the battery every couple of months.

I read the reviews for this purchase, honestly to many. I read some reviews, people were complaining of "hand cramps" "mouse's edges were to sharp" things of this nature. Well I bought the mouse due to the overall love for the mouse, and I am glad I did. This mouse is fantastic. It's makes everything so streamline, smooth, easy to operate. The whole time I used the mouse initially I was kicking myself in the rear wondering why I didn't buy the thing from the start. It was made for mac just like the wireless keyboard I bought with the mouse. I've had a mac for two years and I've been using the "walmart special" mouse and keyboard with it. Just don't people really just don't , buy the mouse and keyboard you'll love yourself in the long run. These people complaining of hand cramps and all that other non sense. Well people thats just the general public, worthless. I highly recommend the mouse and keyboard if you don't have it.

After less than a year, I just launched mine across the office and put the pieces in the trash. It felt very good.

The connection was unreliable, constantly dropping off. It had an annoying tendency to just not track well: sometimes only would track up and down, and sometimes only left and right.

I have a very old Apple USB mouse that I have been using flawlessly.

I liked the tap and swipe features of the Magic Mouse. They worked well... when it would stay connected. Perhaps I had a bad mouse but for $70, I think I'll wait before testing that assumption.

This is the best Apple Wireless Mouse, I've owned three, the Magic Mouse being my third and I love it. I find it to be very comfortable in my hand and wrist. The only thing I miss from the previous mice is the side buttons. But the touch sensitive surface makes up for the lack of side buttons. I would recommend this mouse to anyone using a Mac.

So I have a new imac about a year old.... Now magic mouse won't work. Took it to work it worked fine brought it home the clock just spins.... Don't work! Slam it into a million peaces... I feel better. At least I have my USB. Also huge amont of batteries and recharges...Mac user since 85! Will not buy another one! Stick with USB or trackpad

I love Apple products, and this is my first negative review. The Apple Magic Mouse battery life is very bad. I got the MM with my new iMac this summer. Within the first month, I brought the MM to the Apple store because it had stopped working. It just didn't occur to me that the batteries that came with the MM were dead already. But, that's what it was. I put in two new AA Duracell alkaline batteries, and they last about 3 to 4 weeks. I use the computer an average of 5-hours a day, and turn off the MM when not in use. I inquired at an Apple store yesterday, and they said they were always replacing the batteries on the demos, and 3 to 4 weeks may be about right.

I'm back to using my Logitech nano mouse, which gets about 8 months of use with two AAA Duracells. And, that's without turning off the mouse when not in use.

I'm ready to sell the Apple MM. I refuse to spend more on rechargeable batteries. There's something wrong with the Apple MM design that Apple should fix. Other than the battery life, the Apple MM is a good product.

BTW, I'm still using the original batteries in the wireless keyboard that came with the iMac. No problem there.

I bought this mouse in conjunction with my MacBook Air because no trackpad on a PC laptop has ever been as precise as a traditional mouse. Had I known how great the multi-touch trackpad on the MacBook is I never would have bought the mouse. It simply isn't needed.

Even with the tracking sensitivity set to max in system prefs the mouse takes too large a hand movement to track from one side of the screen to the other. I have always had a very very sensitive mouse on Windows machines and I simply cannot adjust to this mouse.

The built in swipe/scroll gestures are a great innovation but still limited compared to the gestures available on the MacBook trackpad.

Apple has all but made the traditional mouse obsolete for most users with their large and easy to use trackpad.

The Magic Mouse is awesome. I love how easy it is to use. I am a diehard mouse user and when I first got my MBA I had a hard time adjusting to not having one. This is my first Apple (love it!) and was so used to using a mouse with my old Dell PC. Along comes Magic Mouse and I am in heaven! Love it! Makes navigating so much easier. It was so simple to connect to my MBA. I was up and running with it in seconds. I have not experienced any stability issues at all. In fact I feel like I have better control over where I am navigating my cursor when I use it. I can't imagine not having it now that I have been using it for a while. Great product!

Perfect mouse for me, a woman with normal hands.
For my boyfriend, it's not the same, the mouse his to small for his hand !

But in general , i love it !
It looks great, easy to use and she's always connect by herself !
