Dropped Magic Mouse now needs excessive force to click.

Help!  I recently dropped my magic mouse about 4 feet onto a tile floor. When I picked up the mouse, I noticed that the top and bottom had become a bit separated.  I was able to push things back together, but now it takes considerably more force to right or left click.  There doesn't seem to be a physical obstruction to the click, it just takes a firmer click in order for the computer to recognize it.  The situation is the same whether I use the mouse with my MB Pro or my Mac Pro at work.  There is no problem connecting through bluetooth or using any of the scrolling/swiping gestures.  Only clicking has been affected.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

I figured as much.  What I was REALLY searching for was someone who might have suffered a similar mishap and been able to get their mouse working again.  I don't normally go around tossing my Mac peripherals onto the floor, especially not a $70 mouse.
Still crummy engineering.  I've dropped an ipad and my iphone several times (by mistake I might add), and they've both come up without a scratch. This thing popped open like a steamed clam.
Thanks for the attempt at humor.

    Buy a new one.  They are not repairable (to my knowledge).

  • I have a magic mouse that needs a usb receiver.  what do I buy?  Is it specific to mac?

    I have a magic mouse that needs a usb receiver.  is this a specific mac part or does a universal work?

    I suspect you do not have a Magic Mouse.   The Magic Mouse is an Apple product and does not need a USB receiver.   I guess you have a Logitech mouse and a USB receiver should have been supplied to you by the store you bought it from, if it was indeed bought from a store.
    You could always contact the manufacturer.

  • TS3048 my magic mouse does not want to right click anymore?

    My magic mouse does not seem to right click anymore, any suggestions?  For example, I used to right click on my icon of my memory card from the camera that I have inserted into the side of the IMac and I could choose "eject" now it doesn't want to right click and open up those options.  Am I doing something wrong?

    Hey.
    This seems to be a common issue.
    I've seen mixed posts on the net about the ES8000 working with the Apple Keyboard but from what I've seen the Apple mouse tends to fail the sync constantly.
    Sad, I just bought a mouse to improve navigasting on the ES8000 and dissapointed that it doesn't sync. Maybe an issue with drivers on the TV.

  • Installed SSD & replaced Superdrive with HDD. Magic Mouse now sluggish

    It may be a coincedance but since I have installed a SSD (to replace to HDD) drive and replaced the Superdrive (DVD Drive) with the existing HDD (using a HD caddy), my Magic Mouse has been sluggish.
    At first it seems that my Mac was overall slow but it seems that it was just getting a bit too hot - when I opened Mac and at same time gave things a clean, I made the fan less efficient and more noisy - its OK now. Still seem to be getting hotter than I remember but it is now summer and my apartment is pretty warm.
    The heat is on the left hand side of the keyboard (what would be causing that??) and not on the side where the SDD or HDD is.
    Anyway, going back to the mouse. It sluggish and lags a bit. I have tried brand new batteries and same problem.
    Any ideas??

    I am hving the same issue.
    magic mouse with hdd in original place + new SSD in optic drive bay.
    OSX is on ssd bay. user on HDD.
    Mouse seems to be sluggish when SSD is writing. Dropbox sync + time machine read/write etc.
    Any insight on why this is would be great.

  • Magic mouse rails need replacing

    Can you get replacement parts for the magic mouse black raild which are found on the bottom of the mouse ?
    I have two magic mouses and they are both now playing up which I think is due to the fact that they are both starting to wear on the bottoms ?

    Theoretically they can be replaced, but it involves dismantling the mouse which is glued together and voiding the warranty

  • My Magic Mouse Will not scroll or left click?

  • Magic mouse won't scroll or double click on OSX 10.7.5

    Would upgrading to Mountain Lion fix the problem please?

    I doubt that upgrading the OS to Mountain Lion would help. The problems could be with the mouse itself, or with your system software. Try booting into your Recovery parition (holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and resinatll Lion (your data will not be affected).
    If reinstalling the OS doesn't help, you've likley problems with the mouse itself.

  • Magic mouse gestures mountain lion

    whats happened to magic mouse gestures on mountain lion...i can't even scroll up or down a web page with my magic mouse now....

    OK.  I found the fix for the problem!
    You need to reset the PRAM and SMC...  I just did that and it completely fixed the problem.

  • Does Magic Mouse still eject CDs at Startup when holding down?

    Now that the mouse that comes with the new iMac 21.5 and 27" are wireless Magic Mouse, will they still force eject a CD at startup if you hold the mouse button down at startup time? I always thought that is why Apple still sent wired mice and keyboards with new iMacs but it appears now at least the mice shipped are wireless while the keyboard remains a wired one if you get the extended keyboard.
    Just curious if wireless magic mouse will eject a cd at startup.
    tj

    Even before the current iMac, you could order your iMac with only a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard, as extra cost options; then you would not have received a wired mouse or keyboard with the new iMac.
    The startup key presses should work, as long as that wireless keyboard has already been paired with the iMac. They come paired from the factory. I've not specifically read that the mouse button press works too, but I'd guess that it does, since the keyboard startup keys do work.
    (I guess someone who has a new iMac with Magic Mouse can give it a try... )
    If it does not, you can start up with the Option key held down to get Startup Manager. At that screen, press the Eject key on the keyboard.

  • Magic Mouse Left Click Problem

    I got a Magic Mouse for Christmas this morning and set up with my Macbook Pro. The setup went quickly and well. I was able to move the cursor around my screen with the Magic Mouse.
    However, the click buttons don't work. I have tried left and right clicking and nothing happens.
    Is there a problem with my mouse or did I miss something in the setup?
    Thanks.

    I had the same problem this evening. Is it possible that you had your USB or trackpad mouse buttons reversed when you switched to the Bluetooth mouse?
    I normally reverse my mouse buttons (like for left handed people). My index finger naturally rests on the upper right corner of the mouse. When I try to use the normal button config, my hand and forearm fatigue in no time. Reversing the buttons allows me keep my index finger relaxed for all the normal mouse clicking, then I reach left for the "right" button.
    It also discourages others from using my computer!
    Anyhow... When I connected to the Magic Mouse, the buttons didn't work. I turned it off and connected the USB mouse, returned it to "right-handed" mode and switched back to the Magic Mouse, and the buttons work correctly now. I then use the Magic Mouse control panel to set Secondary click to left.
    Hope that helps!

  • Thoughts on new magic mouse

    hi
    I just have received my new iMac 27" today and am really overwhelmed. the only thing one needs to get used to is the new magic mouse.
    the fact that the scrollball click and the 2 buttons on the side are missing, means that there are 2 options less than for the mighty mouse. a thing I really do not understand, if the mouse can determine a rightclick leftclick and even swipes for scrolling, I do not understand why apple hasn't implemented a 2finger click and a 3finger click as well. shoould be possible as it is a software related issue IMHO.
    another thing about the new magic mouse is the click sound, if it is like with the mighty mouse, then the click sound is produced by a little piezo, and the click is really tooooooooo loud IMHO.
    what do you think abou the missing 2 options and the click loudness?

    This should be an option - if not the default value - the user can set. That would improve the performance & usability so much more. Please fix it!

  • Magic Mouse Right Click not responding

    Merry Christmas All! Just this morning my magic mouse (2 months old) stopped right clicking. When I press on the right side of the mouse, it doesn't right click or even "normal" click. I double checked my mouse settings in Preferences and "Secondary Click" is set to "Right" and the box is checked. Mouse battery shows at 56%.
    The only thing that is different is that I bought an Apple wireless keyboard two days ago...could that somehow be interfering? Beyond that, I am stuck.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...and will give you some points on Santa's nice list.

    I have a similar problem: the symptoms are the same, but when I reboot the Mac it solves. The problem is that I always leave the iMac on and so I need to reboot it every 2 days because of the mouse has this symptoms (I don't have any other USB Overdrive or tablet.. only Apple bluetooth magic mouse and keyboard).
    Do anyone has my same problem and/or can help me, please?
    Thanks very much!

  • Is there a tutorial for the Magic Mouse?

    New terms suddenly pop up, and I have no idea of what they mean or are talking about.
    Where is the right click or center click? How many clicks are required?

    On the Magic Mouse there isn't a center click, just left and right.  The right click must be enabled in System Preferences > Mouse.  It's the "secondary" click option.  Apple referres to right click as secondary click.
    Most things just need one click.
