Review: Apple Magic Mouse

Apple mashes together a multitouch trackpad and a regular mouse, and the result is surprisingly useful.

Smooth, comfortable form factor. Multitouch gestures streamline goofing off 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

Apple's innovative Magic Mouse is undeniably attractive, but its compact, buttonless design isn't for everyone.

First-ever Multi-Touch–capable mouse. Stunning, minimalist design. Configurable. Ambidextrous.

Multi-Touch features work with Macs only. Mouse isn't large enough to fill the natural curve of your hand. ; Watch our Apple Magic Mouse video review!

Apple Magic Mouse review: Apple Magic Mouse

Apple Magic Mouse

Sexy design; vertical scrolling works like a physical scroll wheel; pairs easily with Mac computers; ambidextrous.

Awkwardly narrow profile; doesn't work with Windows PCs; laser sensor not as advanced as Darkfield and BlueTrack competition; horizontal swipes don't feel as natural as thumb buttons; can't customize swiping functions; no pinching.

Apple's new wireless Magic Mouse gets a sleek makeover and even has multitouch controls, but it's better as a portable laptop companion rather than a full-size desktop accessory. The swiping gestures add interactivity to Web browsing and media, but the...

Apple Mighty Mouse

Usually ahead of the curve, Apple has belatedly released a multibutton mouse.

Apple Magic Mouse (2022): undeniably stylish, unforgivably designed

We look at the beautiful yet frustrating Apple Magic Mouse, a true unique among the competition.

Beautiful looking ; Works immaculately ; Pairs seamlessly

The position of the charging port ; Not ergonomic

The Apple Magic Mouse is so frustrating because it is so close to being brilliant, and yet falls short on a couple of really simple features. And Apple continues to make it this way because the company bets that Apple fans are willing to accept a few...

Apple Magic Mouse Review

The trackball is replaced by a gesture sensing surface which is whats magical about this mouse.

Priced at AED 379 (US$100), the Magic Mouse is a tad bit on the expensive side but there really isn’t anything like it in the market. You’ll very easily get used to its swipes.

Apple Magic Mouse Review

World’s first multi-touch mouse., Ambidextrous design., Gestures work just like an iPhone.
