I want the best from Apple. When I found a bad product, it's even more disappointing.
Glad to be an Apple Fanatic, but not blind for one cent, and certainly harsher with Apple than with any computer manufacturer out there.
I repeat, Magic Mouse sucks. It won't stay in history as a revolution. See Mighty Mouse for even worse, and something to forget in Apple's products timeline.

My take on the Magic Mouse. In short, it blows for the most part.

Did you notice that it's exactly the same size as the iPhone ?

i'm gonna be buying mine on Saturday, along with my new 13'' MBP. Personally I found it great to use and the scrolling multi-touch worked very well, cant wait

I actually like the magic mouse. Compared to the mighty mouse, it is a great mouse. I like the scrolling feature and the swipe feature.

Of course compared to Mighty Mouse, even a $2 mouse is better.
I'm sure Magic Mouse will please some people, but I doubt those who take this kind of stuff seriously will consider it.
There is a huge gap between Apple and specialized manufacturers like Logitech. It's one thing to offer some special effects packaged in a cool design like Magic Mouse does, and provide real efficiency like high end Logitech mouses.

I've used a zillion different mice, trackpads and trackballs over the past two decades several years, and I think the choice of mouse is a very personal one. It's all about feel and comfort, like gloves or a fitted dress. My hubby loved the old round mouse, and I despised it. I tried out the magic mouse and i found the feel quite nice for my smallish hands. I immediately noticed the flatter feel and instantly liked it over a traditional mouse, and certainly over the mighty mouse, which I never cared for.
However, money's tight, so I'll stick with my Logitech trackball for a few more years. I'm saving up for (yet another) iPod. ;-)

I agree fully. The only reason I joined this site was to add my 2 cents on this topic. The magic mouse is the worst mouse apple has ever produced. I guess it is good if you use your computer-which is more powerful than the computers used to make jurassic park- to 'surf the web!', and 'twitter'. It's super stylish and coolio. However, for people that need a mouse that works and doesn't constantly zoom in on your after effects/ photoshop projects- the magic mouse is a piece of waste. Today I threw my magic mouse against the wall. I watched it explode. I kicked it across the room for a bit. Then I grabbed the broken pieces, wrote 'piece of sh#t' on it with a sharpie. I then rode my bike to futureshop and left the remnants of the mouse beside a new iMac. I then bought a $40 logitech mouse that is $50 cheaper than the magic mouse and 100 times better.
