Product Description
The Apple Wireless Mouse works with the Bluetooth option in your Mac to provide a cable-free way to interact with your system at a distance of up to 10 meters (33 feet). Bluetooth virtually eliminates interference with other wireless devices such as other keyboards and mice in an office setting or cordless phones and remote control toys that are found in the home environments. Apple is the first to deliver intelligent software to prevent interference with Airport wireless networks without any performance degradation.The sleek, easy-to-use design of the mouse fits most any size hand and is equally comfortable for both right and left handed users. A click tension adjustment accommodates both heavy-handed users as well as those with a light touch.The Wireless Mouse features an optical tracking engine that provides smooth accurate tracking on most surfaces. An advanced power management system automatically switches to low power modes during periods of inactivity. The off switch allows you to conserve power when you're away from your system or when you're traveling with your system. The optical mouse is an ideal input device to throw in your bag to use on the road with your PowerBook or iBook.

 Great spare mouse, but can't depend on it March 13, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
It just doesn't work as your one and only mouse.
I've set up two high-end iMacs that came with wireless keyboards and mice, and in both cases I had to scrounge up a wired mouse to complete setup. When it cuts out, there is often no advance warning. It's vexing to re-sync without a working mouse.
Seems many people use it as a "spare" mouse for their Powerbook etc. In that capacity it's an amazing, Apple-quality product. As for shipping it as the only mouse with a high end system -- what were they thinking!?
pros and cons...as with all things in life March 8, 2007

I bought my mac almost 2 years ago and got this mouse seperately as the wired version had too short a cord. I use my mac for about 5-8 hours day and haven't had any issues with battery life in this mouse. I've changed the batteries 3 times in 2 years, so my average battery life has been 8 months.
I don't play games on my mac. I do audio and video editing using Apples Final Cut Studio v5, as well as digital photography editing using Adobe CS2 for Mac, and do my own web designing using Studio 8. So I'm using this one button mouse for everything and find it quite sufficient. I also own the Mighty Mouse, the upgrade version of this mouse. I don't like Mighty Mouse. the scroll wheel is the size of a green pea, and just as unpredictable. The multi-button features contort my wrist in several positions which most people may not have an issue with, but I've got carpal tunnel issues and it hurts!
This mouse is not ergonomically friendly. It also agrivates my carpal tunnel. I have a wrist rest that aliviates a majority of this.
Overall, not a bad mouse. Not the best in the world, but not bad. If you want a mouse for gaming that has multi-buttons, etc there are numerous models out there that manufaturers are making for both mac and pc compatibility and are reasonably priced, unlike the Mighty Mouse which mothballed this version and costs $30 more.
 Great product December 24, 2006
High quality and the scroll ball is invaluable! I don;t know how I got by before it.
Outstanding Wireless Mouse With Bluetooth Convenience October 7, 2006
One year ago I purchased this mouse for use with my PowerBook G4, and I have to say it's one of the best computer peripherals I've ever owned. For starters, Apple has done an excellent job on the mouse's simple yet elegant design, which complements the look of my PowerBook. The optical eye that detects movement has been very reliable on a number of surfaces. The mouse is a joy to travel with, since a sliding cover on the bottom shuts the mouse off while at the same time protecting the optical eye. A two level tension adjustment system allows you determine how much pressure you actually need to put on the mouse to make it click. This is a great feature that I've only seen about on this type of mouse.
The Bluetooth feature was INCREDIBLY easy to use. All I had to do was turn the mouse on, click it a few times, and within seconds my computer recognized the mouse. In the past I've had a lot more trouble getting USB mice to work with a computer. The Bluetooth connection was always reliable, and I have never had a problem with the connection, even when other Bluetooth devices were near my computer. Other wireless USB mice require you to plug a wireless adapter into a USB port to communicate with the mouse, the Bluetooth system on this Apple mouse means the only thing you need for it to work is the mouse, and you don't need to occupy any extra ports.
Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, high quality mouse, with the extraordinary convenience of wireless Bluetooth.
Only one button, slow response July 26, 2006
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just got one from J&R one week ago and have been trying it since then. I totally agree with those negative comments. The mouse looks great, but that's the only merit worth mentioning. One button, slow response would bother you all the time especially you are a guy just swithed from PC. I returned it to J&R. BTW, J&R refused to refund me with cash but store credit instead and told me this is what their return policy is. Disappointed again! I would say this is a total failure for Apple's mice designing section. So I suggest trying the newly released Apple Mighty Wireless Mouse (released on 7/25/06). It seems this new one has everything you need.
