Awkwardly narrow profile
Doesn't work with Windows PCs
Laser sensor not as advanced as the Darkfield and BlueTrack competition

Abstract: In what has come to be Apple's trademark, the Magic Mouse's minimalist design is quite beautiful from an aesthetics standpoint, especially compared to the black plastic lumps opposite most desktops. Featuring a single, clear white plastic surface sitting ...
Abstract: Mmmm...MacBook Pro with Retina Display. It's a keeper, that's for sure. Apple pulled out all the stops when putting together their latest, greatest notebook, with an unbelievably sharp display, super-slim design and top-notch hardware updates that incl...
Slick design; vertical-scrolling functionality works like a physical scroll wheel; pairs easily with Mac computers; equally suitable for left- and right-handed users
Awkwardly narrow profile; doesn't work with Windows PCs; laser sensor not as advanced as the Darkfield and BlueTrack competition; you can't customise the swiping functions; no pinch-to-zoom functionality

It looks lovely and the multi-touch surface is clever, but the Magic Mouse isn't as versatile as a button-bedecked alternative, and we found it too thin to use for more than a few minutes at a time. Your mileage may vary, so try before you buy. ...
This is a nice idea and one when we heard the news very tempted by. While touch certainly is the future of the mouse, the Magic Mouse isn't that future just yet...
Multi-touch gestures mean no moving parts, Wireless BlueTooth, Sensitive and accurate, Feels good to use
Not enough use made of multi-touch, It's twice the price of a normal mouse, Lack of side buttons.
Let's be clear about this from the start - Apple does not have a good track record with mice.For years Apple mice had just one button, and Apple, thinking it knew best, refused to budge from this overly simplistic design even in the face of rising cri...
