Apple giveth and taketh away with its Magic Mouse redesign. The new internal battery is welcome, but you can't charge it while the mouse is in use. This is otherwise an elegant, minimalist addition to the Apple canon.

Internal battery; Multi-touch support; Click mechanism feels sturdy

Awkward charging-port location means mouse can't be used while it's charging; Single button wobbles while using multi-touch gestures; No Force Click suport or haptic feedback

Apple fans are likely to be pleased with the wireless Magic Mouse. It looks right at home among other Apple devices, and some of its multi-touch functionality is extremely useful.

Slick design; Vertical-scrolling functionality works like a physical scroll wheel; Pairs easily with Mac computers; Equally suitable for left- and right-handed users

Awkwardly narrow profile; Doesn't work with Windows PCs; Laser sensor not as advanced as the Darkfield and BlueTrack competition; You can't customise the swiping functions; No pinch-to-zoom functionality

Let's be clear about this from the start - Apple does not have a good track record with mice. For years Apple mice had just one button, and Apple, thinking it knew best, refused to budge from this overly simplistic design even in the face of rising criticism from its own customers who simply wanted...

Got the refurbished magic mouse to try to save some money. The one I received had scratches on the touch surface, like the previous user had a ring on that wore into the touch surface. There was also glue on the bottom and the mouse glides had some marks as well.

Good mouse

Scratches on touch surface

I've always used wired mice with computers, but I upgraded after getting Lion my my computer as the gestures seemed an important feature of the new OS. Its size does make it somewhat strange to hold, though you do find the best position for your hand quite quickly, the gestures are a great addition,...

Great Functionality

Slightly Awkward to Hold & Somewhat Fragile

I used this mouse for 3 months forcing myself to get used to it. It's not for me. I'm a designer and tried use the mouse to make minute mouse movements. It worked, but not without causing constant pain to my wrist after a month, and later, it moved up to my arm and shoulder.

Many gestures are supported; Pretty

You cannot rest your fingers on the mouse without activating a gesture or a click; Therefore, you must always elevate your fingers while you are using it

Check out trackpadmagic (dot) com as they have a Windows 7 driver and support utilities.

Great design

No Apple provided Windows 7 drivers

Useless and awkward shape for human hand. Very unsuitable location of functional elements. For so much money I would recommend to look elsewhere. I do not remember that I ever regretted so much my purchase.

Apple's Magic Mouse is indisputably the sleekest, coolest Bluetooth mouse available. The entire device is a button and you can click anywhere. To scroll up, down or sideways, simply use the product as you would a touch screen and slide your fingers along the surface.

This mouse is perfectly ambidextrous because the entire multi-touch mouse is clickable

The Magic Mouse can be a bit uncomfortable for some

Multi-touch first came to the iPhone and iPod touch, then the MacBook Pro, and now Apple is putting multi-touch into it's latest mouse, the wireless Magic Mouse. The mouse has no moving scroll wheel, only a single button, which depending on how many fingers are on the mouse, accomplish different...

World's first multi-touch mouse; Ambidextrous design; Gestures work just like an iPhone

Doesn't work with PCs; Slender design may not work for everyone
