Vertical scrolling works like a physical scroll wheel
Pairs easily with Mac computers
Ambidextrous
Eye catching design

Simple Bluetooth sync
The editors didn't like
Awkwardly narrow profile
Laser sensor not as advanced as Darkfield and BlueTrack competition
Horizontal swipes don't feel as natural as thumb buttons
Can't customise swiping functions
No pinching
Multi-touch works differently to other Apple products
Gesture support, Good weighting, Comfortable scrolling
Very overpriced, Low profile won't suit everyone, Missing gestures
The Magic Mouse could well grow into something wonderful, with full gesture support and a choice of form factors to suit all tastes. This first release is promising, but unspectacular, and we hope the price falls.

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. As mentioned earlier, there's no scroll-ball butto...
Abstract: Apple's mice have always been somewhat of a mystery to non-Apple users. The first question most often on the lips of the uninitiated tend to be, "where's the right click button?" The new Magic Mouse, like its predecessor, the Apple Mouse (formerly known a...
