Member Review: Apple Magic Mouse

4.6
The Magic Mouse was first introduced in 2009 by Apple for use with most Apple products, it is a multi-touch mouse. The Magic Mouse was the first consumer grade mouse with multi-touch capabilities. The Magic Mouse allows the use of gestures including swiping and scrolling across the top surface. It connect to the device via Bluetooth and runs on 2 AA batteries. Apple kindly bundles these into the box. The Magic Mouse requires OSX 10.5.8 and above, it uses laser tracking for increased pointer accuracy over the previous generation of Apple mice.

The Magic Mouse really is one of the best things I have ever used to control a computer, it has been really very well designed for use with iMacs. The gestures really do help in everyday tasks such as Web browsing and Photo Editing. The laser sensor hasn't put a foot wrong and is very accurate. The battery life is out of this world and still using the original batteries after 2 years. I have used many mice in the past, but nothing feels as natural as the Magic Mouse to use on a daily basis, it is very comfortable to use for long periods of time, it falls into your hand like it was meant to be. The only slight problem i have found with it is that after using it for lengthy periods it can cause your hand to sweat due to the glossy top surface of the mouse, but this is just a small negative point and nothing that should put off potential buyers.

Why exactly is this technology news? The mouse came out back in Snow Leopard days... It's not like anything has changed over the past five years.

Personally I think the apple mouse is garbage. Super low DPI, Terrible battery life and connectivity issues for days. I don't understand why anyone would want that.

It came with my computer when I got a Mac and it was the best mouse in my opinion, but now I am used to a laptop mousepad.

ShowerCap Looks really nice. Haven't used one but I don't think its optimized for gaming. Lol


I'm not sure it could be used in any game it has 1 clickable button...
