  • Abstract:  As a first step, is the Magic Mouse an acceptable entry into the multitouch mouse world?Overshadowed somewhat by other product announcements such as the revamped iMac and Mac mini during Apple's most recent press bonanza, the newly released Magic Mouse...

  • com in between catching up on the latest TMZ gossip and a few minutes of doing actual work in Google Docs, As is often the case, these gains come with loss, too. The Mighty Mouse had a clickable scroll wheel and two squeeze sensors on the side that could
  • Lack of Exposé and Spaces support will force your hand to the keyboard more often

  • World’s first multitouch mouse, Ambidextrous design, Gestures work just like an iPhone.
  • Doesn’t work with PCs, Slender design may not work for everyone.

  • Absolutely gorgeous, Reasonably priced, Intuitive one-fingered scrolling, Top notch build quality,
  • Terribly uncomfortable to hold, Almost impossible side-to-side swiping, Install directions could be clearer, Bloated 100MB drivers, No rechargeable batteries, Packing tape left debris, *
  • The concept of a multi-touch mouse remains quite compelling, but tragically, Apple killed the Mighty Mouse the second a designer laid pen to paper and sketched it in its current form. Pretty, yes. Useful, no. The $70 asking price on this little guy act...

  • Abstract:  Short version: The Magic Mouse is everything that anti-Macists hate about Apple: It’s twee, too smart for its own good, and initially unusable to the uninitiated. Sadly, even Mac fanbois will feel the same way. Not so MagicI gave the Magic Mouse a ...

  • First-ever Multi-Touch–capable mouse. Stunning, minimalist design. Configurable. Ambidextrous.
  • Multi-Touch features work with Macs only. Mouse isn't large enough to fill the natural curve of your hand.
  • The world's first gesture-based mouse, Apple's Bluetooth Magic Mouse exemplifies innovation and high design, but its compact profile and lack of buttons aren't for everyone....

  • Looks stunning; Multi-Touch is easy to perform; excellent tracking; very fast reconnect after idle.
  • Low profile may not be comfortable for bigger hands; limited to two buttons; limited customization options.
  • Although it’s not perfect, the Magic Mouse successfully combines design and usability. It's great as a two-button wireless mouse, but if you need more than two buttons, the Magic Mouse is not for you. ...

  • Sexy design; vertical scrolling works like a physical scroll wheel; pairs easily with Mac computers; ambidextrous.
  • Awkwardly narrow profile; doesn't work with Windows PCs; laser sensor not as advanced as Darkfield and BlueTrack competition; horizontal swipes don't feel as natural as thumb buttons; can't customize swiping functions; no pinching.
  • Apple's new wireless Magic Mouse gets a sleek makeover and even has multitouch controls, but it's better as a portable laptop companion rather than a full-size desktop accessory. The swiping gestures add interactivity to Web browsing and media, bu...

  • Abstract:  The Magic Mouse is undoubtedly the best mouse Apple's made in years. They've taken their knowledge in trackpad finger gestures and one-piece manufacturing and made this delicate, yet sturdy, bridge-shaped mouse. The question is how it compares to...

  • Abstract:  Apple’s Magic Mouse is the first offering from Apple to mate the capabilities of a Multi-Touch surface with a movable mouse. The result may be the best mouse Apple has ever made or the worst, depending on your expectations. The Magic Mouse has good poi...
