Magic mouse clicking noise

I bought the new magic mouse and it works well as described. But only one thing I can't tolerate--- the clicking noise. I know most mice have clicking noise but for the brand of apple, I suppose they can do something above average.
Do you know there is a way to diminish the clicking sounds? Why don't they use the technology like trackpad, which there is no sound when clicking and so sensitive. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

I find a relatively easy way to diminish the clicking sounds of magic mouse --- free. Use a soft surface item rather than the mouse pad, for example, like a stack of relatively soft paper (you need a lot paper). If you can find a hand washcloth (fold it into a rectangle shape), the mouse is like added a silencer. And it also move precisely. I suppose the sound is coming out from the base and hope this silly way can help someone has the same feeling as me.
Because this clicking sound drives me crazy, I think I have to find a way to kill this sound before I freak out. I think its a little louder than the old mighty one. Now it's all set. I hope one day maybe another smarter way to achieve it. Or someone can create a mousepad with relatively soft surface.

First check your settings. If all is as it should be, reset the PRAM.

Magic mouse clicking sound

I just purchased a new iMac 5K with the Magic Mouse. Every time I click on the mouse I hear a clicking noise. How do eliminate this? I have an older Magic Mouse and it does not make any sound when I click on it.

It certainly is.. I notice that when clicking the left side, it has one distinct "tick" sound but the left has 2 crunchy/clucking sounds. Hard to explain but it doesn't sound right.. I just want to know from anyone else if this is the norm..
Thx..

Satellite U500-1E0 - how to switch off the mouse 'clicking' noise

Please can anyone tell me how to switch off the 'clicking' noise that the mouse buttons make when they're depressed?
Thanks.

Im not U500 owner but Ive got a U400 notebook model.
As far as I know the touchpad buttons dont support any clicking sound which could be enabled or disabled by software.
Therefore I would say its a mechanical noise which cannot be disabled.
Bye

Magic Mouse click not working

I have a magic mouse, with a MBP and 10.6.1 and the wireless mouse update installed.
The mouse more or less works if "Secondary click" is checked. If I uncheck it, clicking does nothing. The mouse moves and scrolling works, but clicking has no effect.
Also with "Secondary click" checked, if any part of my hand is touching the top surface of the mouse, I get a right-click when I click - makes the grip kind of awkward.
Tried re-installing the software update.
Any ideas? Thx.

Not sure why it worked this time, but I deleted
com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist
from the User preference folder again, and now the mouse is behaving as normal. I did not touch the .globalpreferences file.
I did clean all the system/user caches (using Cache Out X), and then deleted this file again, but now the behavior seems correct
- with Secondary Click deslected, the surface acts as one big single click button
- with Secondary Click selected, it acts as a two button mouse
- in Secondary Click mode, resting your second finger on the contexual side surface while clicking on the single click side surface does not interfere with the single click as it had before
- in Secondary click mode, you need to lift your finger off the single click side when clicking the contextual button side, or it will not register as a contexual click. I presume this is expected behavior, as it is physically a one-button mouse, and Apple opted for a two-finger click to be interpreted as the more common single click request.
Hope this helps some

Magic mouse click problem.

Hi all,
Couldnt find any solution yet for my problem.
It is always either not click or in click(can see the dragging box).
No problem with connecting & tracking.
I'm using iMac

Hi decavalera,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are having an issue with the clicking on your Magic Mouse, please follow the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048
Mouse buttons do not work as expected.
The Mouse preference pane allows users to customize the mouse features to meet their needs.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Have a great day,
Joe

Magic mouse clicks unresponsive after 10.9.1 upgrade

Hi Everyone, I have just updated my Mac to 10.9.1 this morning and since the update, I am having issues with Apple's Magic Mouse. Everything seems to work fine but clicking is very unresponsive and I now have to click 5 - 6 times before a "left or right" mouse click is actioned.
I am using a Mac Pro
2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 6 GB of Ram
Anyone else experienced this issue?
I have used fresh batteries and reconnected the mouse but still have the same issue.
Would appreciate any help.

Try the following, after I reinstalled Mavericks (did not help), I stumbled upon this:
System Preferences>Accessibility>Trackpad and Mouse>Trackpad Options>
Uncheck "Enable Dragging" [without Drag lock]
This was checked by default on my Macbook Pro 13" 2011.
Good luck

Magic Mouse causes noise in MacBook Pro while scrolling

Hi everyone,
I just discovered a kind noise which I'm not sure is a problem or not. I'm sitting in an extreme quite room and my windows are almost completely closed, so I can hear the sounds my MacBook Pro (Mid-2010) is making very well. I can hear the fans spin and the hard disk's reading noise. Just now when I'm scrolling up and down with my Magic Mouse, I realized that every scroll I make causes my MacBook to emit a kind of noise that sounds like the noise the hard disk would make when it is reading/writing. That sound appears to be emitted from the part where the logic board is housed, i.e. the left side (the side with the ports). I note that this noise can only be heard in an extremely quiet environment. I wonder if anyone else also has this little noise issue? Thanks.
Regards,
James

I have the same problem on my iMac.
In some applications, especially the apple ones, i can hear a odd noise while i use the vertical scroll.
I dont no have idea what is causing that thing.
It seems that only you and me can hear that sound. Maybe we have some kind of special hearing.

How to turn off mouse click noise

I am listening to my Itunes on my computer and doing work at the same time. Each time I do my work and click my mouse I hear the click sound at the same time as my song. Is they any way to turn off mouse click sound so it does not disturb my music?

1. Go to control panel
2. Click mouse
Now that being said, I don't have the kind that makes a noise, so I don't have an option, but if you're able to turn the sound off, it should be there.
If it's not there, check Sounds and Audio Device properties to see if there's an option there. If there's not, you may need to contact your computer manufacturer.
Good luck!

Magic Mouse Clicking Problems

Hello, I've just noticed that the far right side of my Magic Mouse stopped to trigger a proper click, thus I cant really make right clicks any more, only if I press it down quite strongly. My Magic Mouse is now a few months old and I've actually never experienced any problems before.
I could imagine that dust and dirt accumulated in this small slit that goes around the mouse prevents the click. Is there any way to open the Magic Mouse in order to clean it?

I got exactly the same problem, but the folded paper solution did not work.
¿Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time
Regards

Magic Mouse "click and hold" letting go?

When I try to hold down a click, this includes drawing in Photoshop, the mouse suddenly gives up and "lets go," even though my hand is still holding the button down without releasing. In Photoshop this results in a visually unbroken stroke which is seen by the application as two (or more) strokes (taking multiple undo's, for example).
Similarly, when holding the button down over a window's close button, the close command is sent after a few seconds, again even though my hand is still not releasing the button.
With older mice, the click command isn't sent until one releases the button.
Anyone have any idea if this is normal behavior for this mouse, or if there's a way to adjust it?

My update is that it appears NOT to be happening any more, and I'm not sure why, or what changed. I'd sort of gotten used to it, but as I write this, I can't get it to recur.
Thanks for the suggestion. When it was happening, there was no difference in behavior whether the mouse is held down in "clicked" position with a lot of force versus a "normal" amount of force. I believe it's a software issue. I tested the same mouse with different machines running Snow Leopard, and I have yet to replicate the behavior on them. I think it had something to do with my machine (Mac Pro) running Leopard, using a mouse that was designed, I believe, with Snow Leopard in mind. I'm still using Leopard, but at the moment it's not misbehaving.
I'm surprised I couldn't find anyone else having the same issue (aside from Michael Spryn above), after some extensive Google searches.
Weird annoyance, but seemingly gone for now.

Magic Mouse not not able to open folders or files

Magic Mouse not able to open folders or files on desk top. I can drag folders around but not able to open either with a double or single click of the mouse.
Tried an older BT mouse with same effect.
Command O works fine.

Hey there kwilli2,
It sounds like your mouse left click is not functioning correctly. I have a couple of things to recommend and see what might be happening. First check in the Universal Access preferences pane to see if either, the double click speed is set to high.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Universal Access.
Click the Mouse & Trackpad tab.
For Magic Mouse, click Mouse Options to show these slider controls:
Adjust the sliders to your preference for double-click and scrolling speeds.

Magic Mouse "jerks" playing bubble shooting games

How do I reduce the sensitivity when I am using my Magic Mouse while playing bubble shooting games. When I aim and then press on the mouse to shoot the mouse will jerk just from the inertia used to press on it. Very frustrating.

Magic Mouse - no click on whole surface

Hello,
I run SL 10.6.2, installed Magic Mouse update nevertheless, installed MagicMouse. Gestures work fine with one exception: I can click left and right, but only with the click noise as any other mouse.
I thought the whole surface will work for a left click, but it does not, only when I push so that the mechanik mouse click start. When I jut tap on the surface, there is no click at all.
Before this I used BT MightyMouse. But this I disconnected and deleted the preference-file for that as well.
Any ideas?
Am I right, that the click should do by just tapping somewhere on the (left) surface of the mouse?

You can click anywhere on its surface, but you have to press hard enough, so the surface moves down to make a click. The touchpad on Apple laptops works the same way. You have to press enough for the touchpad to move down for it to send a click.
If it sent a click just by touching, you would get accidental clicks when positioning your fingers on it for scrolling, or other gestures.

has a Tap Click function which may give you what you want, but may make other operations trickier.
