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.

Best Apple Mouse Ever (but that's not saying much)
Written by JH from Gray
Dec 8, 2009
The Dove soap bar, I mean Magic Mouse is very cool and works well, but it could be larger/wider and fit the hand better. Unfortunately, Apple goes for aesthetics over functionality and in the case of mice, that doesn't work. (Hockey Puck anyone?) It's not very ergonomically correct or friendly. It may give you "the claw" from gripping it, especially if you have bigger hands.
The left click is much more responsive than on the Mighty Mouse. The multi-touch stuff works great and should be worked into all mice. The noise from clicking it is a good deal louder than the Mighty Mouse, but I got used to it very quickly.
All in all it's a good mouse. I would probably give it 3.5 stars but I rounded up sense there aren't any half stars. …More3 of 5 people found this useful

When will Apple ever get it??? Nothing magic about the magic mouse...
Written by FM from Los Angeles
Dec 8, 2009
Today I got very excited and bought the magic mouse. One I got home I realized that the mouse doesn't have a middle button. I find it absolutely incredible that after so many years Apple still doesn't get it. Most "pro" apps. such as 3d apps, cad, motion graphics etc... use the middle button, that button is ESSENTIAL!!! and without it, this mouse as all Apple mouse I have had since my first mac in 1988 ( mac Plus ) is useless.
The mouse is going back to best-buy where I bought is and unfortunately will be replaced by the half priced Microsoft bluetooth mouse with a middle/scrolling button. …More9 of 24 people found this useful

Static Problem Causing HTML Page Jumps?
Written by WL from Long Beach
Dec 8, 2009
This is more of a flag and an inquiry than anything, but are any other users experiencing unscheduled page or active window hopping?
Several times a day, without intention, a "back" command is issued by the mouse. This is extremely irritating when completing a form in a Safari (HTML). Moving my hand from the (wireless) keyboard to the mouse, upon touching the mouse that is placing the thumb and pinkie either side, it appears to invoke a two finger gesture and so the "Previous Page" is navigated to and the contents of the near completed form are lost once you return to the page.
I also use Aperture a lot and the same situation occurs; you can be working on one picture, place the hand on the mouse and it scrolls back any amount between 2 and 10 previous pictures.
This abnormal handling is really annoying and while it is too late for me to return the mouse [as I thought it was me accidentally making the gestures I delayed, beyond 30-days, doing anything, but have watched carefully and I am not invoking the gesture], it is that bad, I wish to flag it, so if it is not just me something might be done.
I'm wondering whether it might be some form of static discharge from my hand, across the mouse that emulates a double finger gesture. Or whether it is a static build up on the mouse itself that the hand discharges once it it placed upon it.
Humidity, here in New York, is dropping as temperatures lower seasonally and we are entering our "static cling" time of year. I wonder if such environmental factors occur, so are considered during development, in Cupertino?
Thanks …More7 of 10 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,
