The latest Bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse is impressive - and a joy to use. The same Multi-Touch technology introduced on the iPhone is used in the "Magic Mouse". Click, scroll in any direction, and swipe through images on its smooth, seamless mouse surface. It works wirelessly using Bluetooth, so there's no cables or adapters cluttering your workspace. (You just have to futz with battery replacement or recharging occasionally.)

Apple really outdid itself with it's latest mouse design. Lacking any discrete buttons or scroll-wheel, you might think this mouse would be hard to learn to operate. Instead it's the most intuituve pointing experience you've ever had!

With Multi-Touch Surface The guesture controls to swipe, pan and flick thru Mac OSX aware applications like iPhoto, Cover-Flow, etc makes this 'Magic Mouse' a worthy successor to the earlier Mighty Mouse indeed. It's touch sensitive surface and laser (rather than optiical) tracking is astounding. And the silver aluminum & white casing compliments many recent and older Macintosh computer models. NOTE: The MagicMouse REQUIRES OSX Leopard 10.5.8 and higher! So if you're still running OSX 10.4 Tiger look to these replacement Apple mice instead.

Non-Bluetooth Wireless Mice For Mac

There are other kinds of 'Wireless' mice that don't use Bluetooth - but use other 2.4Ghz RF frequencies. They require a proprietary USB 'dongle' type transmitter. These imply using up Yet-Another USB port on your Macintosh and the USB transmitters are specific to the brand of mouse or keyboard it comes with. Taking advantage of a Mac's built-in Bluetooth is generally best if your Mac desktop or laptop already has a Bluetooth receiver built-in. However some folks experience Bluetooth interference and may find RF peripherals provide a more reliable wireless computing experience.
