At last a product that is what it say's it is. Apple's magic mouse is just that. MAGIC. From its shape and size to the functionality it does nothing but amaze you at its versatility. A mouse that allows you to swipe across it to change windows? Come on, that's impossible? Not with the Magic Mouse it isn't. It's abilities are groundbreaking, and again, just like converting to the iMac, once you start using the Magic Mouse you won't ever want to go back to the clunky limited mice that windows use.

Quite simply the Magicx Mouse is designed for speed. Assisted by features including 'Multi-Touch', the ability to swipe your finger across the mouse to move pages, (Just like a touch screen, but without touching the screen), and configurable mouse movements. In other words you don't get lumbered with left click, right click, you get to customize your mouse to suit your needs with the help of free software like MagicPrefs you will see the mouse has the ability to bind a variable number of finger taps and clicks to functions such as the Middle Click, Spaces, Expose, Hold Down Both Mouse Buttons, Dashboard, and more.

Tap Sensitivity implements a cutting-edge algorithm that affects a number of factors used to detect the taps, all controlled by a single slider. Another feature that you won't find with the standard mouse you'd find with any other operating system.

I would dare to suggest that you invest in the best mouse mat you can get your hands on to take full advantage of the Magic Mouse, but that's about the only thing even near negative I can say about it. Sheer Magic is not an understatement.

Price and availability of the magic Mouse is variable depending on which Country you're in, although the general retail price with major retailers is $69 or approx £45 GBP. Buying direct from Apple is not recommended because they sell them at £59 which in my eyes is unjustifiable if other retailers can sell it for significantly less.

    You say that its abilities are ground breaking, but you never say what its abilities actually are. Also, how much is it and where can one get it from?
