Apple Magic Mouse review

Multi-touch meets mouse - is this the cleverest mouse yet?

Multi-touch gestures mean no moving parts ; Wireless BlueTooth ; Sensitive and accurate ; Feels good to use

Not enough use made of multi-touch ; It's twice the price of a normal mouse ; Lack of side buttons.

Apple Magic Mouse review

If I asked you to describe a mouse you would either tell me it's a small rodent or you would tell me it's an input device for a computer that has two click buttons and a scroll wheel. So what's it like to use? Well so far so good, although it's by no...

Touch scrolling up and down is a breeze

Side swipe is hard to master

So what's it like to use? Well so far so good, although it's by no means perfect. The lower than expected profile means that it won't sit comfortably in the palm of your hand like those made by Microsoft or Logitech and that for some will either be a...

Apple Magic Mouse review

The Bluetooth Magic Mouse has no visible buttons. It is a two-button mouse, but there's no visible separation between right and left. I'm right handed, and I use my middle finger for right click, and my index finger for left click, and in my five hours...

Apple's old Mighty Mouse suffered from a build up of dust and gunk that frequently stopped proper operation. The Magic Mouse does away with the mouse scroll ball altogether and moves to Apple's preferred touch technologies. The Multi-Touch support is...

Apple Magic Mouse

It's about time. For years, Apple has embraced aesthetic simplicity over practicality with its peripherals. Single-button mice! Yes, we know Apple hasn't made single-button mice for a long time, but why in the world did Steve Jobs ever think that was a...

Smooth, comfortable form factor. Multi-touch gestures streamline messing about on the web. Buttonless design bids farewell to the Mighty Mouse's dirt-loving trackball

Lack of Exposé and Spaces support will force your hand to the keyboard more often

Apple Magic Mouse review

Introducing the Magic Mouse, which Apple bills as the world's first Multi-Touch mouse.

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 customisation options

Based on pure aesthetics, Apple’s new Magic Mouse is a crowning achievement for the company's design team. Sophisticated, alluring, and downright stunning, the Magic Mouse epitomizes Apple style. Getting down to the nitty-gritty—actually using the...

Apple Magic Mouse

The multi-touch scrolling beats any other system we've seen, but while the Magic is ideal for the long of finger, it's too darn slim for the rest of us.

Apple wants £55 for the Mac-only Magic, which isn't cheap for what is, essentially, a standard laser-optical wireless mouse. Look beyond the Apple marketing hype and that's all it is. Yes, it has that multi-touch panel, but it doesn't really do much...
