    Batteries get's sucked fast, literally!

    The battery drainage is overwhelmingly fast. You have to keep turning the mouse button off to save battery life but after working all day, you just forget. Buy rechargeable batteries, that should fix it. One other gripe I have about this mouse is the ergonomic. It may be slick in design but the grip of it gives me arthritis pain, make sure to massage upper hand area during usage.

    Unexpected coming from Apple Apple

    Hardware failed after 14 months. Mouse is recognized but cursor is frozen, even after trying several suggested solutions. Optical lens apparently not working. Expected higher quality from Apple.

    Be careful of interference!

    This mouse has a lot of cool features. The swiping comes in handy a lot and I use the gestures all the time. I personally don't think the mouse feels that bad to hold, a lot of others suggest the ergonomics aren't very good, but I guess that's just a personal thing. The design is really nice, looks sort of futuristic without being corny. The only problem I have is with the connection. I have a lot of wireless things in my apartment (not to mention the many routers around my apartment complex) that are giving so much interference that my wireless mouse and keyboard and borderline useless. I constantly have to just use my iPod touch or phone as a mouse and keyboard. I wish they made an input on the mouse to plug in a USB cable so you can use it wired, or maybe even an "Air" mouse or keyboard (don't see that being too reliable, but then again, Bluetooth isn't doing so well for me.) Oh well, if you don't have tons of wireless things going on around your house (or wherever), then this mouse is a good choice, otherwise, maybe consider something wired.

    Nice looking, bad using

    • Written by from Cold Brook

    6 of 11 people found this useful

    Apple has always made cool looking innovative mice, that are uncomfortable to use. The original mouse - too square and boxie.
    The bondi blue hockey puck - hard to hold because its round
    The Apple Mouse - close!! The little trackball sometimes is a problem.
    The Magic Mouse - too flat.

    This has always been a problem for them, because stuff that fits in your hand isn't attractive. For me I use a competitors wireless mouse 5000 because its big and round and rubbery and fits nicely in my hand and works very well for a long time.

    I love Apple products, but they don't do mice very well.

    excellent product, however not worth anywhere near $70.

    the design and function of this mouse is perfect. everything works as advertised. very sleek and elegant. however, $70? way too much for this mouse. even tho it's a fantastic mouse, it's not worth $70. just because things are overpriced, doesn't mean it's a bad product. would still highly recommend, but either cringe and spend the $70 or get one new or used on other sites for less.

    Interesting

    As with any device, it takes some time to get used to, but I now find myself using it more intuitively than my old mouse. The only negative is that I now have difficulties using a mouse on another computer.

    Good Mouse

    • Written by from Noblesville

    37 of 39 people found this useful

    This mouse is extremely sleek and low profile, but once again Apple has designed it for style and not comfort. The mouse did not slide well on my granite counter top, so I placed a mouse pad underneath and it worked like a breeze. Absolutely no connection problems whatsoever. Overall, good mouse and I would recommend the mouse to any friend.

    Frequently looses connection, has difficulty re-connecting

    • Written by from Brooklyn

    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.

    Fantastic, but...

    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.

    Nothing magic

    There is nothing magic about this mouse.: It works only sometimes. You will have to revert to the touch-pad to do anything other than simple scrolling. You will do just as well with a regular wireless mouse and save yourself some money.

    worst mouse i ever used

    • Written by from MILTON KEYNES

    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

    Magic Mouse - Not the expected quality

    • Written by from Zurich

    9 of 12 people found this useful

    So now I have the 3rd Magic mouse breaking down again. You probably ask yourself why I bought three of them, well so do I. For each mouse, after a couple of months of use, you have it disconnect and connect on regular basis, making you loose time and patience. If you just put the mouse down on the mat, a bit too hard, or if it barely touches your coffee cup, it will disconnect. Just annoying quality - I think I ll go with a cheap mouse again

    Almost Art

    This mouse is slick sexy excellent but falls short of expectation due to its gargantuan battery requirements. I have brought my iMac home about two months ago and the batteries needed to be replaced 3 times already. Don't get me wrong ... I LOVE apple products. From the iPads to the iPhones to the MacBook Pros to the iMac ... I can open up my own Apple store from my house. I think the solution to this problem would be to make the Apple Mouse rechargeable whether using the new 30-pin connector cable or some form of a charging docking station.

    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.

    No Pixie Dust Here with Magic Mouse - Stick with $10 Mouse

    • Written by from Mississauga

    Having been a loyal Apple enthusiast for quite some time, I have to admit that I hesitated a bit in buying the Magic Mouse owing to all the negative reviews it had received out there. But, again being a loyal Apple enthusiast, I bought it.

    I encountered, like many, the connect/disconnect issues on a daily basis, but I didn't find this all that annoying ... the critter had to take a break I guess. What really frustrated me beyond anything was the unpredictable "pauses" the thing would take while I was designing or simply browsing. The cursor would just very briefly yield to nothing while your hand was in the middle of moving the mouse across the design or something. Imagine for a second that you were clipping an image, erasing a fine line, or simply moving to click a button ... and suddenly your cursor is not where you're expecting it!

    I will not buy this product again. It has wasted much of my time, and really disappointed ... I really expected more from Apple ... at least a mouse that works as well as a $10 one.
