Apple Magic Mouse
The same Multi-Touch technology first introduced on the revolutionary iPhone comes to the mouse. It’s called Magic Mouse, and it’s the world’s first Multi-Touch mouse. Click anywhere, scroll in any direction, and swipe through images on its smooth, seamless top shell. It works wirelessly using Bluetooth, so you don’t have to worry about cables or adapters cluttering your workspace. And built-in software lets you configure Magic Mouse any way you want.

Overview
The magic is in the Multi-Touch.
The new Magic Mouse redefines what a mouse should do. In addition to its smooth, seamless top-shell design that acts as one button or two, Magic Mouse features a Multi-Touch surface with gesture support. Scroll vertically, horizontally, and diagonally — a full 360 degrees — simply by touching anywhere on the top surface. With a greater surface area for scrolling, you can get around a long timeline in iMovie, through a lengthy web page in Safari, or around a set of images in iPhoto more efficiently. You can also swipe through pages in Safari or photos in iPhoto with two fingers. It’s the most advanced Apple mouse ever made.
One or two. Left or right.
The seamless, one-button design of Magic Mouse makes it simple to use right out of the box. But if you want the functionality of a two-button mouse, that’s easy, too. Just change the configuration in System Preferences. And the ambidextrous construction means Magic Mouse is great for lefties or righties.
Laser tracking engine.
Magic Mouse features a laser tracking engine that’s far more sensitive and responsive on more surfaces than traditional optical technology. That means it can track with precision on nearly every surface with no mousepad required.
Bluetooth technology.
Magic Mouse works wirelessly with your Bluetooth-enabled Mac. When you combine it with the Apple Wireless Keyboard, the result is an untethered and uncluttered workspace. Once you pair Magic Mouse with your Mac, you can enjoy a secure and reliable connection from up to 33 feet away.

Bad Scroll Swapping
Written by SC from Seattle
Dec 1, 2009
Ellegent design, Soft clicks, Smooth tracks, but...
bad Scroll Swapping!
The sensitivity of scoll has dissapointed me as MACosX always lost tracking while reading a heavy content pages like nytimes.com. Swap is the worst where the tracking sensor is not working togetherness in scrolling surface. You gotta get your little fingers down to the bottom surface in order to swap smoothly.
I am more prefer the scrolling ball on my beloved wireless Mightly Mice. …More8 of 14 people found this useful

Apple Magic Mouse
Awesome for everything but CAD & Windows
Written by HH from Pemberton
Nov 30, 2009
I love the Magic Mouse for most things I do with my computer. However it is easy to 'accidentally' scroll and that takes away a lot of the fun.
Well behaved apps:
Safari
Preview
Leopard features like QuickLook
Annoying Apps:
Finder - sometimes I accidentally scroll away the selection by touching the mouse.
Outright Painful apps:
ViaCAD - Has no scroll wheel preference, so frequently I zoom my drawing into a dot, of make it way too close to see. That is a real hassle.
Parallels Desktop with Windows
Any windows App that uses Pull-down menus. Windows has a nasty habit of leaving the focus on drop-down menus, when you scroll these accidentally, it can be a real hassle.
I think Apple should update the driver so that it actually senses motion, not just a simple touch to scroll things. …More12 of 15 people found this useful

Apple Magic Mouse
awesome
Written by DS from Woodbridge
Nov 30, 2009
Ive had it for about a week now and love it.
the scrolling is a lot more precise, though it does take getting used to.
but once you get a feel for it, you love it.
having only a right and left button with the scroll is really all you need.
the only downside is the bluetooth connection.
if it crashes, you'll need to hook up another mouse to get into the settings to get it going again, but that would only happen during a power outage and if you shut it off. …More8 of 9 people found this useful

Is the magic mouse supported to work under windows? If so, is the functionality reduced to just clicks or is it full?
- Asked by TG from NORTHVILLE
- Oct 20, 2009
Best Answer
I'm running an HP laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate. The Magic Mouse paired with the laptop
via Bluetooth on the first try. Windows added a generic driver, which provides all cursor
movement and button click functions. I have not yet discovered how to add scrolling and
swiping or any other "wheel mouse" functions or any additional buttons.
But the basic functionality is there and the simple Windows mouse driver even supports
setting the cursor speed and accelleration and click speed and other properties, so I think
it's just matter of time before I discover how to engage the other functions by learning the
scan codes used by the device and emulating them in a TSR. Of course, I'll prefer to have a
driver that will handle that, but I've literally just installed the device and am only now starting
to search.
Best,
