“Does its job, beautifully!” 2010-02-07
By THATCH (OHIO)
I really enjoy this mouse as compared to the mighty mouse. It’s far more svelte and fits in the hand very nicely. I like the multi touch features for scrolling. While it can do more than I’m doing with it, it wasn’t difficult to figure out and fits right into the keyboard & computer appearance.

“The only “magic” is that it has a mind of its own” 2010-02-05
By Trish Meyer (Sandia Park, NM, USA)
I’ve had this mouse for a few weeks. I’m a huge Apple fan (and stockholder) and drink the cool aid like anyone else. I’ve had Macs for over twenty years and have never had any hand or wrist issues. I loved this mouse in the store where I used it for a minute or two. But I seriously expect I would develop carpel tunnel if I continue using it; after just a couple of weeks my index finger is tingling, and my wrist aches. Why? First off, it’s heavy – lifting it and moving it around is loud and clunky; which also makes it difficult to carefully select one character or word when editing text. Second, it’s very very low profile, almost flat – flop down your hand naturally on a table and see what shape it creates – this mouse doesn’t honor that natural arch. But the tipping point for me was that it has a mind of its own – I would just be resting my hand and reading a Word doc when the document would scroll full the right and I’d be looking at a white screen. In Dreamweaver, InDesign and other apps, spurious commands would make it zoom full down for no reason. You could call it “magic” all right! It sure looks cool and demos well, but be sure to keep the receipt and watch that 30 day limit if you decide to buy.

“Its not hype if its true” 2010-02-05
By Eric K. Talerico (Sierra Vista, Arizona, USA)
I am using my Magic Mouse as I write this and am reminded of something my best friend said to me years ago after he’d bought a BMW. “Eric, its not hype if its true!” Well, that phrase can easily apply to the Apple Magic Mouse. Its been billed as a revolution in mouse technology and that is as exact a description as one could hope to get. Out of the box, the device is simple and elegant – a tiny curved wedge, with a grey Apple logo at one end. Plain white, with a glossy surface, it looks terrific on the desktop next to my Apple Keyboard. And on the surface, it does everything that a point and click mouse does – that is, it points, and it clicks. But – no buttons on the surface, as the mouse itself is one great big button, with a touch sensitive surface for added functionality. As I am writing this, I’m switching between several webpages in my browser, simply by swiping two fingers on the surface of the mouse. Turning pages with a gesture identical to turning a page in a book. Earlier today, I was working on an image in Photoshop – I was able to zoom into and out of the image simply by holding the option key on my keyboard and sliding my finger up and down the mouse. The scaling is precise and smooth, unlike the other methods available for scaling. With the standard mouse software, the MM was a bit sluggish, but if you download MagicPrefs from this site: [...] you’ll be able to customize the mouse in ways that are nothing short of remarkable. I loved the Mac Mighty Mouse too (many of my coworkers revile the thing, but I was quite happy with it!) The Magic Mouse makes the older model look like a stone hammer by comparison. For working with image editing and word processing programs as often as I do, the Magic Mouse is the perfect control tool! Apple hits another home run.

“Big improvement over previous mouse” 2010-02-02
By number1tfan (Massachusetts)
I had a mighty mouse for awhile with my iMac, and I hated it. The scroller kept clogging up and stopped working. The side buttons were dislocated and kept opening dashboard up. Overall, it was not a good mouse, even though it looked cool. This one looks even better and has cool multi touch technology. The scrolling never stops working because its touch sensitive. Also, there are no side buttons to hit by accident. And even better, its wireless (although battery life isn’t very good). Overall, I love how you can scroll, and flick through photos and web pages with the touch sensitive mouse. It also has the same sensors to tell whether its a right or left click. Overall its good, except that it will sometimes inadvertently scroll, especially in google maps. Overall though, this is a huge improvement on Apples part and is a huge recommendation for an upgrade for Apple fans who hate their mighty mice. This expensive, but amazing mouse is totally worth it.
