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.

Apple Magic Mouse
Great mouse, but some missing features.
Written by JD from Theodore
Dec 4, 2009
As far as mice go, this is a great, innovative product. The tracking is smooth and the mouse has enough weight to make it easy to control, but not too heavy to make it hard to move. It does take about a day to get used to the left and right swipes, but they quickly become second nature. I did not give it five stars because it does not have a "third button" to open Expose or any other option. If this functionality is added with a software update, then it will be five stars. …More

Apple Magic Mouse
Great idea. Poorly executed.
Written by SS from Poulsbo
Dec 4, 2009
Because I appreciate the careful and honest reviews of others, I will detail my experience as follows: I was very exited about this new mouse mainly because the scroll ball on my Mighty Mouse is quite lame. I tried the Magic Mouse at a local Best Buy and though it seemed a little awkward, I hoped I might get used to it at home with my own set-up, so ordered one from Apple. I received it today and after about 30 minutes of Photoshop work, my hand began to cramp quite a bit. My excitement about this new device began to cramp as well. There are a combination of design issues that contribute to ergonomic problems: 1. The low profile gives you practically nothing to hold on to, forcing the use of a flatter hand, which provides less control. 2. The aluminum sides are very slippery and are curved down and inward which causes the mouse to slide away just a little as you press either the left or right buttons while trying to hold the mouse in place. This is amplified by the very slick bottom rails (which, had the body not been so slippery, would be a good thing). 3. The click mechanism is a bit stiffer than on the Mighty Mouse - taking more effort to push and combined with the slippery grip, creates more hand stress. The combination of these issues makes for a very uncomfortable design. Others might like it (and I tried my best) but if you order one, don't be surprised if you soon want to return it. I'm glad the designers had fun making it look pretty but IMO they should have kept the Mighty Mouse shape, ditched the scroll ball and added touch capability. The customer service agent was first rate in handling my return promptly. …More

Apple Magic Mouse
Best Mouse apple has ever built
Written by DR from Eugene
Dec 4, 2009
I've been a mac technician for over 10 years and a mac user since 1984. IMHO it's the best and only decent mouse apple's ever made. 4 out of 5 of my customers don't use the apple mouse that came with the mac they own because they don't like them. I also have used after market mice from Macally and M$ on all my Macintosh machines for years. This mouse is amazing as just a normal mouse using right, left and scroll without the rest of the features. It works on any surface I have tried it on, it fits comfortably in my hand more so then other common mice.
I am switching from your garden variety m$ and logitech usb mice and I'm quite pleased. For all these years I've never liked any of the mice Apple has manufactured, those silly round ones and the one clickers, the ball that just didn't work properly. This mouse is fantastic! Magic!
Two things I wish it did do: 1, the four finger expose gesture and 2, a circular gesture to scroll through programs such as Logic, Pro Tools, Garage band, cover flow, Final Cut pro like a click wheel would.
Cons: It's a little heavy but that's because it's built like a tank with an eco friendly Aluminum bottom. None of these things are major and I still give this mouse 5 starts, Good Job Apple. …More24 of 27 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,
