After much of the usual hype for an apple product the mouse arrived today. I have to say, unboxing it didn’t take long. Apple must be doing all they can to save the world. After you take away the usual shipping cardboard box you are left with some foam protection cradeling a plastic case in which sits the magic mouse.

After eventually getting it setup ( multi-touch only works with snow leopard and leopard ) I was able to see just how good it is.

Good points:

• Looks great
• Is pretty responsive
• Has on/off switch to save battery
• Great battery life (up to 4 months)
• Although a bit odd at first, it sits well in your hand
• Kinetic scrolling works really well
• No more scroll ball issues!

Bad points:

• Dirt can get inside lense hole easily
• It is quite loud when used over a solid surface

Overall I am pleased with the purchase, there are probably better solutions in terms of practicalities but it looks good and works well for my needs. Apple has made the mouse exciting!
