Seems to do what it says on the tin

I was a bit concerned as my i-mac is probably over 10 years old and has stopped getting updates, However after having to buy some USB to Usb C converters, my mac only had standard USB ports, it seems to be ok so far. My faithful original has also started to work again as it was dropping the connection every few minutes but as soon as the new one appeared it seems to have sprung back into life!!Must say I love the magic mouse concept and prefer it to a standard one so i was prepared to risk the exorbitant Apple price but the old one has proved its resilience so hopefully it is worth it.It is too early to be absolutely definitive but so far it does what the original did in the same efficient way and i will not have to keep putting batteries in, although I have ... MoreI was a bit concerned as my i-mac is probably over 10 years old and has stopped getting updates, However after having to buy some USB to Usb C converters, my mac only had standard USB ports, it seems to be ok so far.

My rating was reduced to 4 stars to reflect the lack of long term evidence and the price.

[Rewarded Review] Another generation of a great product

Love the new Magic Mouse! No cord, so you don't have that hassle. And no batteries to replace, which *can* be a hassle if you don't have the right batteries on hand! This one has an internal, rechargeable battery, and my early usage tells me that battery lasts a long time. I've had the mouse a couple weeks now, and it's still above 90% capacity.I was hoping I might get the slick-looking black one, but it's more expensive. Why is that?? But the classic white Apple design is nice, too. Sleek, fully functional, easy to use, fits well in the hand.My only complaint is that sometimes, an inadvertent swipe of a finger at an angle across the top of the mouse causes whatever is on my screen to suddenly jump from 100% magnification to something like 400% -- way too big to ... MoreLove the new Magic Mouse!

Pinching fingers together on the track pad on my MBP returns things to normal, so it's not a time-killer, but I need to learn to be less casual with my fingers on the mouse, apparently!

[Rewarded Review] Apple Magically Does NOT Work Mouse

You would think Apple would improve this mouse but they have not. Yeah, it kind of looks cool and you're thinking it will look great with my new expensive Mac, well, I urge you to reconsider. Yes, there are many positive reviews but come on folks, why? Why does this product deserve such high marks? 1. The mouse will not respond at all when you startup (not restart) your computer and need it to move the cursor over to the user profile for the account you want to log into. READ THAT AGAIN. There is something wrong with the Bluetooth connection. The mouse only works AFTER you use another mouse to select a profile and entered the password. (I troubleshooted this many ways, same result each time.) 2. Very uncomfortable and awkward to hold. 3. Skid plates are terrible. ... MoreYou would think Apple would improve this mouse but they have not.

(I troubleshooted this many ways, same result each time.) 2. Very uncomfortable and awkward to hold. 3. Skid plates are terrible. They are not slick at all. They do not easily glide on any surface even the most expensive you can buy mouse pad. 4. You can not use the mouse when it is recharging. You have to flip the mouse on its back to plug in a lightening cable. Guess that is Apple's way of telling you take a break for a few hours, you don't need or can work while the mouse recharges.Life is too short to put up with crappy products like this. Walk away from it and buy another mouse. I like and found Logitech and Razer work well with any Mac and have NONE of the ridiculous problems that this mouse has.

[Rewarded Review] Disappointing!

I'm not much on the little trackpads, even when I'm traveling...I always have a small one. so I had high hopes for this mouse...especially since I had heard good things about the Magic Mouse to go w my new 2024 M3 Macbook Air.At 1st it seemed fine, until I noticed it start skipping around a bit and me having to move it every time just to get it to keep pace w what I was doing. Quite frustrating! Then I couldn't do anything, even a word without it becoming a problem. It's like it's trying to perform a Hawai'in dance or a slow hula hoop and you have to catch it. It drives you crazy! I'm used to something VERY RESPONSIVE, ON POINT, %26 TO THE LETTER! If I have to chase it down or switch to trackpad in the middle of an email.

[Rewarded Review] Good all things considered

The most important difference will be on....What will you use it for?Is it good for gaming?...probably not, as it is heavier than most mice.Is it good for normal computer use (macOS)? Yes, it pairs well with Apple computers and the scrolling (horizontally and vertically) is excellent as you don't have to deal with "mechanical" scroll. There are other gestures that can be helpful and but those depend on whether you want to enable them or not.Is it good for normal computer use (windows/others)? Possibly yes, the normal functions of a mouse will work just fine, but don't expect the same gestures you can get in MacOS since Windows would be the one to determine what it will let the mouse do or not do.Battery life is good, but if you use it like crazy don't expect to ... MoreThe most important difference will be on....What will you use it for?Is it good for gaming?...probably not, as it is heavier than most mice.Is it good for normal computer use (macOS)?

Do consider that you CANNOT use the mouse while it is charging, so plan accordingly.

[Rewarded Review] Great Aesthetic designs. Lacks ergonomics.

I’ve always used Logitech mice, but for the first time, I thought I should give this a try. There is a slight learning curve to this mouse. It’s extremely low-profile, so if you have monstrous-sized hands, this probably isn’t the mouse for you. Aesthetically, this mouse looks great, and it’s made with high quality material. I’m in front of a computer all day for work, so the different swipe features are amazing! You can go into the mouse settings and even customize different features for finger gestures, like a track pad.The mouse uses a lightning cable charger. It’s on the bottom of the mouse, so you cannot use it while charging. While some have complained about this, I think it’s a very minor flaw, considering the battery life is phenomenal. I haven’t had the ... MoreI’ve always used Logitech mice, but for the first time, I thought I should give this a try. There is a slight learning curve to this mouse.

I haven’t had the need to charge it since I took it out of the box. It came out of the box at 65% and I used it for a little over 2 months, and I’m currently at 49%. Keep in mind, I use this mouse 40 hrs./week.My only complaint is how it lacks ergonomically. It doesn’t really have any grooves or curves for my fingers and palm to rest. My hands are a relatively small, so I can deal with it, but if you have long fingers, you will probably get cramps.

[Rewarded Review] I have one big issue but it gets 5 stars!

I had a MacBook before and purchased a non-apple mouse and found it lacking in ease of use so when I had to upgrade my MacBook, I wanted to use all Apple accessories to see if there would be a difference. If it didn’t work out, I could always take them back, there there is a huge huge difference.This mouse is exceptional. Apple really did it right. It’s very easy to connect once I found the on off switch. So far the battery life seems great, but when I can’t remember, I do turn it off. It’s very easy to travel with and easy to use I’m working on the go. it has little feet on it so it doesn’t require a mouse pad but in my opinion, it does work better if you have one. I love the fact I can use the mouse, the entire mouse as a trackpad, or for those not familiar with ... MoreI had a MacBook before and purchased a non-apple mouse and found it lacking in ease of use so when I had to upgrade my MacBook, I wanted to use all Apple accessories to see if there would be a difference.

I love the fact I can use the mouse, the entire mouse as a trackpad, or for those not familiar with Apple, the scroll wheel to go up down sideways without having to click anything.My one big issue is that it is not ergonomic whatsoever. As someone who works 8 to 10 hours a day it does put a lot of pressure on your wrist. I have a pad that goes under mine that helped some but I do hope Apple is working on the design of this to make it easier for those with carpal and to prevent carpal tunnel. I may even look into elevating my mouse pad to help with this deficiency. But even with this for me, it’s major I still give it five stars it’s an exceptional mouse.

[Rewarded Review] Seriously, it left me speechless!

So I bought this because it is Apple and it was on sale. My last MacBook was a 2012 and I went all these years with aftermarket blue tooth mice. They worked well enough. I cannot explain the difference between a $15 cheap bluetooth mouse and this elegant, well made, smooth and simply amazing mouse. I dont like calling it a mouse because it is like a butter smooth, heavy, solid extension of my MacBook. The whole just swipe your finger down the middle of the mouse scrolling is like magic! My only regret is that I did not try this amazing product sooner. You will not regret this purchase!! I would give about 100 stars on a 5 star scale if they would let me.
