Customer Review

The idea of ​​having a mouse without buttons and it build with touch-sensitive surface is pretty crazy.
Unlike many cheap replicas but it works just the Magic Mouse really good.

Are also Bissel something to complain, so only 4 points ...

Positive
+ Intuitive gesture control of the trackpad has been largely transferred to the mouse
+ Mouse is lack of buttons very easy to clean
+ Very smooth surface, so that the gestures also work properly
+ Good to very good sliding properties on the most surfaces
+ The cursor is positioned exactly on the screen
+ Available through unofficial driver under Windows

Negative
- Mouse is too light, on slippery surfaces lead swipe gestures often mean that one more move the mouse on the desk
- On glass plates does the mouse do not, because the competition is a bit further
- Standard driver under OSX offer hardly adjustment, mouse speed is still too slow even at maximum, however, remedy various additional software (MagicPrefs, BetterTouchTool, etc.)
- Battery life compared to the competition is relatively weak. My Logitech Marathon M705 shows after about 6 months a residual maturity of 920 days on, my Magic Mouse is now after one month down already on 50%. Andererseit it is not so long ago that mice have retained only 2-3 days. So only a small minus.

Further, addressed in the reviews criticisms I want to take up short:

- Ergonomics
At this point, I have to quote Steve Jobs, who in a press statement to the iPhone4 and the weak radio power once said: "You're holding it wrong."
Because the entire surface of the Magic Mouse is touch-sensitive, there is no reason to keep the part spasmodically like a classic mouse and bend your fingers, just because she looks like a classic mouse away.
I run my hand quite naturally over the desk and bring the mouse to the rear end only with the fingertips of the thumb and little finger. The other 3 fingers perform gestures and clicks tends to consist more in the central region of the mouse. So do me even after several hours not hurt your fingers.

- Lack of "middle mouse button"
The can, retrofitted by the numerous tools that I consider indispensable anyway.

On the subject of Windows:
Who can use a search engine, is also fast the unofficial driver for Windows.
In normal everyday operation (office applications, mail, etc.) does the mouse perfectly. Unfortunately, there is no extensive gesture control but left / right click and horizontal and vertical scrolling goes smoothly. If that's enough to these design tidbits can prunkeln also to his Windows machine. A key point is that the computer has Bluetooth, which you may have to be retrofitted. Corresponding USB nano-receiver there from 5 euros.
In many games you realize then, unfortunately, that the driver is only unofficially and only an unfinished porting. The cursor twitches and jerks, that rapid movements are not possible.
Aside from making the Magic Mouse on Windows a good figure. Official driver would just beautiful.
