New Magic Mouse from Apple (Review)

[246Eaglefan]

BTW,I got it for free with the mac.

[MrWwe1085]

can you use it on dell windows 7

[minh979]

But good review nonetheless

[minh979]

Really want this, as with MacBook etc - but put off by their prices. I wouldn't mind converting to Mac from PC, after being a PC user for so long. Guess would need to wait until I find a good graduate job first..

[aUScontradiction]

logitech cube ftw!!!

[aUScontradiction]

im gunna watch the shit out of the new ghost rider

[Jacob4Tech]

@marianobk you=gay xD

[imnotsickimjustaboy]

lets take a wook

[euvi85]

I got my iMac today. First one ever but man do I HATE this mouse. I have to move it way too much. I plugged in my logitech and won't go back. Hopefully I can ebay it.

[xyzdtl]

hows the ergonomics? looks too low?

[jacksite2007]

@xyzdtl I received mine about 3 days ago, and personally I have already got used to it. I do pick up technology quickly, but I was surprised I dont even hesitate about the thin-ness now really.

[YouthGamerGTA4]

@xyzdtl I just got mine today, and I have to say, you really have to adjust to the ergonomic lack in this mouse. Although it does feel very good once you get used to it (as you can see, I have already got used to mine).

[icychopstix]

sorry if this has already been asked. can you left click and right click at the same time. as i have a program that you hold left and click on right to activate a feature. i cant do this on a trackpad.

[kalipaus2]

i love most mac products, and paid $75 for this mouse, but it did not work for me, it is the worst mouse i had.. i bought yesterday another one from logitech for $50 and it is working perfectly right. I am going to sell mine for $50 if anyone wants it, it is still in the box, let me know and I ship it to you!!!

[VTAcompany]

Check out my funny "Windows is not Enough" -video that I made with iMovie trailers. It stars my iMac!

[EndlessNameless12]

got this today, works brilliant with a macbook ;)

Just love it :D

[Andreaswilhelm1]

the magic mouse is much better than the trackpad

i have the mouse before i got the trackpad

so today i will buy the magic mouse one again

the magic mouse is the best mouse ever

[voon100]

Logitech Optical Wireless Mouse is better. Shove this and all all Apple products up Steve Jobs' ass.

[marianobk]

mac =gay xD

[jadenyuki21044]

@marianobk then why the HELL are you watching this video?

[wmingkit]

does it collect dead skin after a long time and if ur hands r sweating will using it does it react badly or sth?

[Wayneishereyo]

is the Cyborg R.A.T better?

[antishay]

Thank you for this review! I was on the fence about getting it (never sampled in a store before) but your review convinced me; we seem to look for the same thing in mice :P

Thanks!

[TheEnkei]

i dont get the clear box :(

[directing101]

can you use this on a pc

[jadenyuki21044]

@directing101 no.

[MrBeastly294]

i have a macbook but i cant do anything but click and move plz help

[houchi69]

the sad thing is that i dont think the mouse is very comfortable in general, especially for someone who is using it for hours.

[THEPANTSWEREDEAD]

I think that a ball mouse with a ps/2 connector is more innovate than this shit. Its uncomfortable and awkward to use

[brandtaylor93]

The Mighty mouse I would love if that stupid ball didn't have to be in ideal condicouns or else it wont work.

[sapphirezobi]

i luv dis mouse!!!! muah!

[Lifeblood086]

I love this mouse :)

[d0md0mt0mt0m]

Does anyone elses magic mouse scrape across the desk? The ski's do NOTHING!

The battery cover just scrapes on the desk and I get this metal powder everywhere. Def sending it back.

[Krauser1226]

Everyone who has one of these and wants more customization, go look up BetterTouchTool. I use it for my magic mouse and for adding more trackpad gestures. It's a great app and it's free. Runs in the background and stays in the upper toolbar by the other toolbar items. Go get it and support the customization. It takes this mouse from good to great. A real productivity helper. Just my two cents! Peace.

- Nick

[NARVVHAL]

The battery part is pretty ass.

I don't get what's wrong with a normal mouse, anyway.

[Theowest]

I want momentum for PC!! D:

[houchi69]

not trying to burst your bubble...but PC is not cool enough for it.

[WillFoSkill]

lol stfu

[aggrio]

Computers in general are not cool... NERD

[houchi69]

i rather be a nerd than some dumbass who doesnt know how to use a computer properly...DUMBASS

[aggrio]

...this coming from someone who is personifying a computer as being "cool." LMAO!

[houchi69]

yes, unfortunately a technically challenged dumbass will never understand.

[aggrio]

The difference is that you are only assuming I'm technically challenged. The true misfortune is the fact that you provide proof of your mentally-challenged thought process every time you post a comment.

[houchi69]

not assuming, i know so. plus, only a dumbass cannot differentiate between a joke from a serious statement.

[aggrio]

Maybe you should reconsider your career as a YouTube comedian

[houchi69]

no, but thanks for the advice. i have a life, unlike certain you who got nothing better to do but spend all his time on youtube reading comments.

[aggrio]

No, it's quite clear you have a life... and a pretty challenged one at that. Re-count your comments on this video, and then re-asses the statement you just made. Even if you don't respond to this one, you're still a few up on me.

[houchi69]

no no, you are still the king of no life, dont be so modest. i gladly passed the honor to you.

[marq46]

why isent eny one develiping stuff like this for pc :(

[houchi69]

i said it once already, i will repeat myself again: PC is not cool enough for it.

[WillFoSkill]

lol?

[rwese]

I like it, but will wait if they come up with more customization possibilities, and also for windows.

[coppurt]

There are actually some hacked drivers out there which work just a good as the original :)

[houchi69]

Windows is not cool enough for it.

[pokemonses]

is it only for mac or can you use it for other laptops

[16coreprocessor23]

mac only

[MacroStuff]

@pokemonses You can use it for Windows as well.

[246Eaglefan]

@pokemonses for mac only,maybe.

[KidKlassic91]

What ? The side buttons have nothing to do with what you said. It's for expose or for what ever you decide to assign it as.

The only it lacks is support for a center click... which im personally use to.

Still thinking about getting one though... the dirty build up under the older mouse that I use is really annoying to clean out.

nice review .

[69hollywoodundead]

It will work for any mac

[TotallyRandom6353]

will this work for the macbook from 2008?

[collegekid491]

It's essentially a 'normal' mouse, only difference how it packages it's features. So in short, yes.

[d0md0mt0mt0m]

So glad about this new mouse. The old ones really pissed me off. The two buttons on the side.... I felt like pulling them off or super gluing them. I had to change my natural hand position on the mouse just to stop from clicking them every time I move the mouse. And I still sometimes click them.

[koussmik]

does it work with a new macbook pro ??

[brandon20904]

yes

[SuperDryRyan]

Does it work for the new white macbook?

[brandon20904]

yes

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

For those commenting about games, I wouldn't buy this for gaming.

[Jimmyoyoman]

@wwwinsanelygreatmac it tearable for gaming

[BreadForButter]

@Jimmyoyoman your spelling is 'tearable' too

[KSKproductionsTV]

@wwwinsanelygreatmac its for everything duh exept iPad and the others

[hrundm]

dose it work for games?/is it good for games?

[d0md0mt0mt0m]

basically you don't buy a mac to play games, period. So why would want to use this for games? Unless you want to use it with a pc?

[FabricationMachine]

It doesn't work well with PC's acutely. I have heard some say it's not compatible but I don't know for sure. Manuel says it will work if it has bluetooth, most PCs don't. And it can only click without the update, from my experience with using it with a 2008 mac book, which is only available for macs. No scrolling, swiping or zooming on a Pc. So it may not work at all with a PC, and if it does it will work sub par to a $20 dollar mouse. Not seeing any kind of reason to use it as a gaming mouse.

[FabricationMachine]

Dunno, I have the mouse but I am not a gamer, l was before I got mac but not anymore. I assume no from my experiences with it though. It not only has no side button or features to replace them but no middle click. You can't reassign the swipes to anything else either, so in that sense it's a standard mouse. you can adjust the tracking but not any other laser features that I know you can with mice designed for gaming mice. Also some times hard to control with its low profile

[d0md0mt0mt0m]

Nope it doesn't work well with PC's. I thought it may have but nope. It even takes a bit of setting up with Mac's. Which annoyed me since they pride themselves on use straight out of the box. But yeah, it wouldn't be good for gaming, much better to get a mouse with more buttons and scrollers etc. Logitech has good ones.

[WillFoSkill]

yeah i use logitech for my gaming :D

[anmluvr91]

I wish they would make a mouse that you can make it to where you can do the equivalent of holding down both buttons at the same time.....its better for gameplay

[topherbear]

Mike what do you think of this statement...

Logitech 5500 mouse > Apple Magic Mouse

For PC

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

I don't think I"ve heard of that mouse and couldn't find anything. Donno.

[jst4tim]

Great review Mike. Another reason for me to get a Mac.

[DoYouLykeTacos]

does it work for a pc?

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

It will work as a generic bluetooth mouse, but you need software to take advantage of the touch functions. Practically speaking, no, it's Mac-only.

[ErickB69]

Good review. Think I'll get one.

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

Guys, when I'm talking about the side buttons, on Apple's old mouse it was spring loaded from the bottom. If you're holding the button down and lift the mouse up, you lose the click. You need to grip the mouse from the buttons to retain the click.

The new mouse clicks from the top like a regular mouse, so this isn't an issue. That's what I'm talking about. If you squeeze it harder, it can be used as a button, but that's not what I was talking about.

[jshaw6000]

Oh. I see what you mean now. Yeah the old one does click from the bottom. But I can still click it when I hold it in the air. I just have to hold the side buttons in order for it to hold the click as you were saying.

[BDogbz]

great video Mike!

[TheMexicanNerd]

Best review I've seen yet

[castro5661]

sweet product! makes me want a mac even more! lol

[jshaw6000]

The two side buttons on the mighty mouse are not to let the computer know that you are holding it, they are pressure buttons that you squeeze to go to exposé or dashboard or whatever you have them set up as.

I tried the magic mouse and, eh....it's ok. It's a little too low profile for my hands. I love the technology of it but hate the ergonomics.

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

See my note below

[abcborgess]

I'll buy one as soon as they make some surface protector for it..

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

That's an interesting idea. A skin for the touch area...

[BrittniisBlah]

so im assuming your giving this away? i'll be waiting.. ;)

oh & like always, great review :D

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

Thought about it, but I have a lot of Windows people on here and probably wouldn't be worth it. Still might though I'm keeping the packaging.

[mindbodysoul114]

Great review!! I have one also and I love it!!

[iPinoyPhone]

like to have this one too. gotta ask santa to give me one LOL

[cptalaue]

so where the giveaway video?!? haha

[longisland216]

great review. I really like the look of this mouse, really want to try it out.

[jordonstouchreviewz]

Nice job on the review! Tried this out at the Apple Store, pretty sweet :D

[Al3xX256]

hows this for gaming lol

[XmetalmikeXx]

for games like WoW. probably beast

[iPerez69]

Great Review!

[thecomp101]

I think you are mistaken, the side buttons on the "older" apple mouse was not for using/activating the mouse, it was just a convenience button to use expos, for example.

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

See my note below.

[osude97]

Another top-notch review!

I have one, but I don't know if I can get used to the low profile of it after using my Logitech MX Revolution for so long.

Keep up the great reviews!

[MrDoubled50]

I am still using the corded one that came with my iMac, *sigh* great review Mike!

[yasir25119918]

cool review.really love this new mouse.

[Pochoco310]

Excellent review! Still have my doubts to buy one..........really don't know.

[AppleiStuff]

Thanks for the review! Awesome...

[lukefishproductions]

this was such a good review how you point out the really good stuff and say almost no bad things!

Great review love the magic mouse so good XD

[gcarrillo0210]

What camera do you use to record your videos?

The quality is amazing!

[oskArtist]

It's to flat.
