With Magic Mouse, Apple has
brought Multi-Touch technology to the desktop mouse, giving you a new
and more intuitive way to interact with your computer. Just as with
iPhone, iPod touch, and MacBook Pro, the Bluetooth Magic Mouse adds
gestures and swipes to the usual clicks to bring more functionality and
help you get more done with less effort.
Make one great gesture after another.
Multi-Touch
technology on the iPhone and iPod touch introduced a breakthrough way
to interact with your content. Magic Mouse, with its Multi-Touch
surface, does the same thing for your Mac. When you use gestures, it’s
as if you’re touching what’s on your screen. For instance, swiping
through web pages in Safari gives you the feeling of flicking through
pages in a magazine. And scrolling with Magic Mouse isn’t your everyday
scrolling. It supports momentum scrolling (similar to iPhone and iPod
touch), where the scrolling speed is dictated by how fast or slowly you
perform the gesture.
Beautiful Design with Seamless Multi-Touch Surface
One look at Magic Mouse and you'll know it's something special that
only Apple could dream up. With a low-profile design and seamless top
shell, you'll marvel at this beautiful mouse and its smooth, buttonless
appearance.
It's not all looks, though. Once you touch it,
you'll appreciate how good it feels in your hand. And the magic really
begins when you start using it. The Multi-Touch surface covers the
entire top of the mouse, and the mouse itself is the button. Scroll in
any direction with one finger, swipe through web pages and photos with
two, and click and double-click anywhere. Inside Magic Mouse is a chip
that tells it exactly what you want to do. Which means Magic Mouse
won’t confuse a scroll with a swipe. It even knows when you’re just
resting your hand on it.
Laser-Tracking Engine
Magic Mouse uses powerful laser tracking that’s far more sensitive and
responsive on more surfaces than traditional optical tracking. That
means it tracks with precision on nearly every surface - whether it’s a
table at your favorite cafe or the desk in your home office - without
the need for a mousepad.
Wireless Convenience with Easy Bluetooth Setup
Magic Mouse connects wirelessly to your Mac via Bluetooth, so there’s
no wire or separate adapter to worry about. Pair Magic Mouse with your
Bluetooth-enabled Mac and enjoy a reliable and secure connection up to
33 feet away. When you combine Magic Mouse with the Apple Wireless
Keyboard, you create a workspace free of annoying cables.
And
because Magic Mouse is wireless, it can venture beyond the confines of
your desk. A quick flick of the on/off switch helps conserve battery
power while Magic Mouse is tucked in your bag. Even when it’s on, Magic
Mouse manages power efficiently, by detecting periods of inactivity
automatically.
Make One Great Gesture After Another
Multi-Touch technology on the iPhone and iPod touch introduced a
breakthrough way to interact with your content. Magic Mouse, with its
Multi-Touch surface, does the same thing for your Mac. When you use
gestures, it’s as if you’re touching what’s on your screen. For
instance, swiping through web pages in Safari gives you the feeling of
flicking through pages in a magazine. And scrolling with Magic Mouse
isn’t your everyday scrolling. It supports momentum scrolling (similar
to iPhone and iPod touch), where the scrolling speed is dictated by how
fast or slowly you perform the gesture.
Give It Your Personal Touch: Maybe you want scrolling but don’t want swiping. Or two-button clicking
instead of one. Whatever the case, Magic Mouse works the way you want
it to work. All you do is go to the Magic Mouse preference pane in
System Preferences to enable or disable features.
The
ambidextrous design of Magic Mouse means it fits comfortably in your
right hand if you’re a righty or in your left hand if you’re a lefty.
And left-handers can easily swap left and right button functionality
using System Preferences.

It began with iPhone. Then came iPod touch. Then MacBook Pro.
Intuitive, smart, dynamic. Multi-Touch technology introduced a
remarkably better way to interact with your portable devices - all
using gestures. Now we've reached another milestone by bringing
gestures to the desktop with a mouse that's unlike anything ever
before. It's called Magic Mouse. It's the world's first Multi-Touch
mouse. And while it comes standard with every new iMac, you can also
add it to any Bluetooth-enabled Mac for a Multi-Touch makeover.
